Thanks. It took awhile to choose the tiles as we wanted Grey in an R11 slip rating and for UFH. It’s the same tiles on the walls and floor but the Velux makes them appear slightly different. We got quite a few small samples posted to us then less than two months later the tile we chose which also had an accent tile to match they stopped making the accent tile. Luckily we hadn’t ordered so just went with the plain tile for walls and floor in a size I could pick up and it worked. I will probably choose R11 again as they do feel good underfoot.

Only the open plan area got the skim coat of plaster, that was due to its height and it would have taken me forever to tape and joint all on my own. All other rooms are getting tape and joint by me then painted. When I have taped and properly completed all the jointing and sanding stages I think it’s as good a finish as the skim plaster. Not every one will agree with that but I believe in Scotland it’s mostly tape and joint and in other countries particularly Canada that’s pretty much all they do. It’s definitely won’t change the airtightness as we are ICF so our biggest airtight challenges are the eves, service penetrations, doors and windows.

This looks like a painting on the wall. I thought this was a modern take on Constable's Haywain when I first saw it.
