Protec won’t care what you do They never bothered inspecting ours Just wrote the certificate out at the end If you haven’t site insurance you need cover for general public liability and fire and criminal damage Basic We used bukldzone for this

As above easy to trim to a curve Curve walls in showers look great We do lots in high end homes ? Seriously like look fab with mosaic tiles Some pics as you go will be nice Hoping my wife doesn’t follow this thread As I’ll have loads of my own pics to put up

You will have a membrane and slip membrane under your But an expansion gap around the perimeter You can seal the skirting to the floor which should make a good air seal In not a plumber but separate manifolds for up and down will allow you to have different temperatures We have UFH on the ground floor and never use the heating on the first floor as it tends to correspond with the large open hallway As the heat rises and has nowhere to go once up there

Varleys are bringing everything in from Germany Might not be a such a stretch to send directly to you

This is one of the reasons we have diced against Sips and TF On our last and next two While companies are manic busy at the moment Many will go bust when the government handouts stop
