That's the one.
I just took it apart and cleaned it and pulled out the fans and found some you tube vids to take them apart. The bearings are a common item.
No rocket science.
Ebmpapst make most of the fan units so something like this will show you.
I think that was @DannyT restricted to 350mm. Maybe OP is too.
I would just do a 200mm cavity with stainless ties and 036 batts. Should be able to pick them up for £15/m2 for 2 x 100mm.
Or 175mm and EPS bonded beads.
I'm glad you've found a good company. That's probably more important than anything. I know I'm banging a PVC drum here but I see they do Veka profiles.
I would price Alphaline 90 and Softline 82 and go to see a house with them and alucald both installed after 10 years and compare.
You could see a £30k swing the other direction and a lower maintenance better performing window.
Apologies for my hiberno slang.
Just glancing at the section of the window I wouldn't be sure it was a top performer in terms of air sealing and thermal conductivity.
I would like to see more seals and insulation. Something like this with 4 seals and thermally broken too.
The Uw figure looks fine as a whole but just be cautious of it as large areas of glazing with a low Ug can hide poorer Uf figures.
I have a basic cheap flymo from about 10 years ago.
It works fine on a flat lawn. I never bothered switching it off. Let it run all winter in the old house. I never got around to installing it in new build.
It will get stuck in any hole bigger than a cup. One thing to be careful of is the mowing height. Too low and the grass will get weak and the leather jackets will have a field day.
Having used pumped insulation in the house attic and mineral wool batts in the garage I would happily say it's one of the best things I have done with the house. No itchy and scratchy show.
I think @Gone West priced supafil when doing your house. Any idea of the cost installed?
If you could find a machine to blow this behind a clear membrane you would have a cheap solution.
What's the UK price now? It's 4-5 years since I priced it here at €150/m3.
Fitting mineral wool isn't particularly nice as jobs but it's very doable. Has anyone done blown mineral wool?
Good layout,
Nice to see a sensible square foot print.
Personally I would pay the digger man another hour to level the site and forget about the step. It will make half the house unusable for anyone with a wheelchair or a pushchair.
