    Hello,

    I'm trying to draw together a piece of research for some Housing Associations that details the different types of insulation options available. Pricing is one of the aspects that I'd like to consider but I'm struggling to find a simple way of sourcing/illustrating the price related information. I know its a complicated area but ideally I'd like to be able to present something along the lines of ' 100mm of rockwool mineral wool insulation has an R-Value of 2.5 and costs approximately £3.50 per sq meter'. Does anyone have any ideas about the best ways to do this and where I could go for information.

    Thanks for any help.

    Tom

    p.s. one of the problems that I'm having is that since different insulations are used in different and each one has different thermal conductivities its quite hard benchmarking them against each other.

    cost / area / R-value is the formula to compute money per square meter per unit of R-value.

    seems a good way

    You just need to find some pricing for the other types of insulation
