Was in homebase today and go the following quotes
1. 18.74 euro per roll of therma wrap loft insulation (600mm X 7.5m) (they swore by it)
http://www.thermawrap.co.uk/loft_wrap.html
2. 8.49 euro per roll of space blanket diy installation (150mm X 5.3m)

Questions
1. Are these prices competitive?
2. I went up to the attic (3 bed semi) and measured the surface area of current insulation (to be honest thought it looked OK, how can you tell).
I measured on the basis (no. of joists X length of joists) and calculated that we need 12 rolls. However homebase recommend 41 rolls for 3 bed semi. Am I missing something here? Do I also need to insulate under the carpet/floor of converted attic?
3. Has any of you used either of the above products and to you recommend them?
Thanks so much.
