I need the pumice liner though, not the ceramic I need a tee cap but can find kne anywhere! Maybe I can adapt an aluminium one?

Hi, Just starting to install my chimney, Isokern pumice liner. I have spoke to Isokern but no joy... Basically we have the 45° T section going into the house and upwards. But what do I do with the bit below on the T ? Does it need a plug? Surely it's not left open? I know I need a soot door to sweep/access which I've accounted for but I can't think this hole at the bottom stays open?! Ta

This is what I was expecting but the surveyor is unsisting not for Velfac. He won't order with out it being on. Maybe I need to change suppliers?

Hi All, Just had our window survey and they are requesting we have all the stone slips fitted before they can measure the structural opening. Getting told different things that this is or not normally the case.. Is this normal? They are Velfac windows. Need to get them on order as the weather is on the move... Any have any other suppliers in the south I could try? Thanks

Cheers Conor but I'm not allowed any boards, it's a planning condition

Hi All, part of our planning stipulates no barge boards Now I'm doing the roof, we have the slate/batten coming over the Nudura and it's going to leave a batten visible. Should I use a small dry verge system to finish? Mortar fails often in slate and can't see how that will protect the ends of the batten anyway. Cheers

Ideally want some end caps but good idea

Hi, don't suppose anyone has some spare Nudura 6" end caps I could buy? Need some extra but not a whole box worth. Cheers

Probably semi rigid pipe

Starting to think about my MVHR properly now the building is heading North... Looking to self install and possibly commission, wondered on thoughts of this design and a way around it? We don't have the steel beam running by the kitchen, it's now a solid beam, but obviously I can't run duct through either, I couldn't get around this due to the spans and loads. Any suggestions? My only thoughts were as the rooms above are a bit in the roof, I could use that to take it up vertically and into the loft to the MVHR unit? Thanks

ICF Central who have been very supportive throughout

I've just rewatched it and it definitely says 3 and 4...but then on the video shows your setup! I take your advice. Cheers

Yes no I'm not contesting your point, just relaying what I did 👍

we went 3 and 4 on internal only as per nudura instructions

yes, had the alignment in place but not on corners as per instructions

yes we have had support but not on the day

We are using Nudura but to be honest I'm sure it can happen with whatever system. Cheers for the words, the pump guy was superb today, I was really on the floor after weeks of ups and downs, he got me going and we got 2 big walls done and concreted a big gable window steel in, so managed to salvage some goodness

Well we had our big pour today... Nervous all week. Had a big blowout on the corner...twice! Same corner, 4 blocks gone. Others bits stayed up when I thought they wouldn't. Will have to do the other walls another day. Learnt alot today. I would definitely recommend strap, brace and brace the corners again and again!

Did you use a carrier board? How much stone have you had to cut!? How did you go about cutting it? Ta

My S.E has overspecified IMO but it's his head on the block so..its the way it is. The steels span big openings, over bifolds/sliders, garage opening so over 4.5m Cheers for the tips!

Hi All, getting there slowly, now the bit I can't get my head around! Using Nudura, our S.E. has specified this..for openings. Above will be the nudura block and walls. How do I do this? Any ideas? I will need to prop it obviously but surely the weight will crush the EPS underneath? Cheers

No, not advised to do that

sorry to be thick, but why have you put 4x1 on the outside? Is that over the bolt to stop it being pushed out during pour? I was thinking of putting the ledger in before pour but advised it means setting up the prop system becomes more fiddly!

so did you have the ledger in place for pour or just the bolts held in with some temporary wood?

How did you get on with this? Very close to this point also...Cheers
