    I have an old, cold house and the loft has a couple of rolls of what looks to be cheap insulation.

    I'm looking to put more down but I'm wondering if there's a point whereby adding extra doesn't actually help?

    I don't mind spending a good few hundred on a lot of rolls if each one will help, but would obviously rather not

    if there's very little difference between say 2 or 3 layers.

    Any thoughts/ info would be greatly appreciated!

    Okay so can I get some more back story her? Heating system? R value of what’s up there now? Kind of build it is?

    Have you considered or looked into blowing cellulose insulation? It is fairly easy and inexpensive to add over existing insulation.
