I do UFH jobs regularly, so i dont think it will be an issue, insulation will be cellotex/kingspan and see if i dot thing it will work i will just run pipes for a rad since i will have a suspended timber floor.....hopefully haha cheers

Hi Its more about maximising the space available in the room with it being so small, 3m out isnt really a big dining area (2 adults, 3 kids) also speed of errection im open to ideas on the construction, the U value doesnt really bother me, the house is a 1950's built and not insulated except the EWI, I have done full heating upgrade when i moved in and the extention area would have UFH Cheers again mate

cheers for the info ive attachd a paint drawing i did to show you the build up idea i had lol feel free to slaughter it =)) the reason for sips is its gonna be only 3m out from the house ideally to make a dining room and downsatirs shower room cheers again i appreciate you taking the time to reply mick

Hi mate, thats is what i was looking for, suspened timber......its what the house has, air bricks etc, the cold water main runs in the back, i have power and data cables going to garden room at the back, also suspended timber i can work with ( have experience with) i had a different build up idea in mind outer block that sips would sit on the inner skin that would have wall plate and joists to sit on. thans for the info requarding the ewi, i have an architect coming over, but its good to know where i stand and what would need to be done. cheers mick

Hi guys, looking at a SIPS extention, single story to the rear. its going to be strapped and boarded and rendered to match house (externally) inside strapped and sheeted with gyproc i want to have a suspended timber floor so i can run water etc underneat. does anyone have a drawing/sketch of what the founds should be like for this this is the bit im not getting my head around. 2nd question is the house before i moved in had EWI rendering done, can this be cut away or do i just make fixings through this into original brickwork. cheers mick

Hi Dave Its 3m external Finish im thinking render/roughcast, i was looking at 25mm battens and cement board? Ive been off sites for so long (just do maintenance now) Cheers

Hi guys. Just a quick one to get some opinions. Looking to add a rear extention on, ideally want a suspended timber floor for pipes/cables etc. Size is 7m x 3m The roofs going to be flat with skylights I want to get it wind/watertight asap. Im in scotland, near glasgow What sort of build would you pick Timber frame or sip Cheers Mick
