Focus DIY launches loft insulation price war

Published: 13 February 2009
Focus DIY is slashing prices on its loft insulation following the news B&Q has cut prices of a roll to £1.
Focus DIY launches loft insulation price war
Focus is cutting prices to £1.15 for all 100mm x 1.2m x 4.8m loft insulation, which the chain says is equivalent to 20p per square metre, which usually sells at £11.99 a roll.

Its 100mm x 1.14m x 12.18, which was £21.99 is now £2.79 a roll.

B&Q's offer, which is backed by government funding and meant only for the general public, lasts as long as the one million rolls they've got for sale does.

The Kingfisher owned chain began prime time TV advertising of its £1 a roll promotion last night.

However, Focus' offer starts today (February 13) and will last until only Sunday (February 15).

B&Q had the roll for sale at 3 a roll which can be split into 3 rolls making it a pound a roll. focus had the exact same size roll for 2.79 which when split into 3 worked out at 93p a roll making it cheaper. It was like this in my store anyway! but only on one particular size

I have just been down to my local Focus retailer (Walsall junction 10 M6) and they know nothing about the offer on loft insulation.Is this just a publicity stunt by them !!!!
