BandQ takes Knauf Insulation’s rafter roll

B&Q is stocking Crown® Rafter Roll 32; Knauf Insulation’s high-performance glass mineral wool insulation that’s proving just the job for loft conversions. Marketed under the Knauf DIY label, the product joins Knauf’s popular Space Blanket®, Crown® Loft Roll and Crown® DriTherm® Cavity Slab in the DIY giant’s 119 Warehouse stores.

“The need for effective insulation is growing,” said Nicholas Rickard, B&Q’s Insulation Buyer. “Our decision to stock Crown® Rafter Roll 32 is in response to our customers asking for an effective insulation material for loft conversion projects. It means we now offer jobbing builders and DIY enthusiasts a great range of insulation materials that cover their most frequent needs.”

Specifically designed for installation between the rafters in room-in-the-roof construction, Crown® Rafter Roll 32 has an impressively low thermal conductivity of just 0.032 W/mK, excellent acoustic insulation properties and is totally non-combustible.
