Exactly a month ago we had cavity wall insulation installed along with another foot of loft insulation.
The cavity wall insulation was polystyrene beads which of course are made from oil ... so not very environmentally friendly.
Our sitting room has a multifuel stove and when it's cold we burn Ecobrite processed coal .... also not very environmentally friendly.
Before the insulation we had a fire every day, since it was fitted we have had a wood fire on two days and only then to cheer us up on a dull miserable day. The room temperature hasn't dropped below 20c for the last month and that includes the chilly spell we have just had.
So, my question is ... which is the lesser of the two evils, polystyrene (which we HAD to have to get the grant) or wood and processed coal on the fire ?
