I’m renovating a small mission hall on the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. Due to it’s already small internal size (7.500 x 4.500), I was thinking of looking at external insulation rather than internal? Its a solid wall construction (approx 500mm+) currently with an external pebbledash finisish. Any thoughts or recomendations? -
accessibility is not essential in this case, but nice to have I’m exploring all options to see if I can get a WC, basin and shower into what is proving to be a very tight potential space for a small bathroom!

I’m assuming that a ‘Quadrant’ style shower simply projects the activity space area out at an angle?

Does anybody in the U.K. make or produce sliding glass block doors? I’ve found one company, but unfortunately they’re in Australia! Something along the lines of this but for internal usage? Any other options or suggestions? https://www.blokup.com.au/gb_rb_075.htm

Not this one, but this sort of idea where you get a 1700 x 800mm Walk In Shower Tray With Drying Area - does this drying area aspect count as activity space in terms of the regs? 🤔 https://www.victorianplumbing.co.uk/saturn-walk-in-shower-tray-with-drying-area-1700-x-800mm

Thanks. Wondering if with the wider trays, say 800 x 1200/1500 etc. can the extra width of the tray be counted as part of the ‘activity space? As effectively that’s what the extra width is for in terms of use?’ Or is it not seen like that?

I’m looking at the current regs and the activity spaces required for different elements, in particular showers. It’s shown that the 800x800 activity space starts at the edge of the shower tray. What happens if you want to have a wet room/walk in type of shower that has no tray edge as such? Where would you class the activity space starting from? https://www.gov.scot/publications/building-standards-technical-handbook-2020-domestic/3-environment/3-12-sanitary-facilities/

True, I guess it couldn’t hurt, plus it would act as an incentive to get the replacement windows ordered!

Hi, planning ahead a little here… hopefully taking on a building refurbishment in the near future. Solid wall construction building in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. (I’ll do a proper intro post later…) It currently has four 860 x 1300mm single glazed windows in the main space. The plan will be to replace them all with triple glazed units. However, in the meantime I was wondering if it was worth adding some form of temporary ‘’double glazing’ to help keep some heat in whilst camping in the building and doing the design and planning stages of the work. I was wondering if anyone had used any type of Thermocover Insulating Film for Windows before, and if it was worth a try, or just a bit of a waste of money? Otherwise I might just use some 25mm Insulation board cut to size to fit in front of the windows at night! 🤣
