No, decided to have both as the 60mm Anticon is only rated to R1.3.

No, I believe that's the base standard thickness product as I think it can also be supplied in 80mm, 100mm, 110mm & 130mm thicknesses.

The 60mm anticon blanket under our Marcoola 30 colourbond roof = $3439.

Does your contract include wall sarking? That's the blue/green wrap you are referring to.
I believe Coral now include it but probably best to check your tender to be sure.
