Maybe, as it doesn't have foil and is covered with a house wrap I suppose it can 'breathe', if that's important. When I ran out of K5, I did use half a board of foil covered board, though.

They are just standard 100x50mm 2mm thick L brackets. No pics, I fitted everything within a day so was going quick! To fit them directly would have needed at least 150mm concrete screws, and quite a few of them.

I did it in probably not the optimal way, but I'm OK with it. - 4x2 timbers attached to the block wall with large L brackets - Insulation packed between them (70mm K5) - Breather membrane cover - Battens 15mm thick over the top, nailed onto the 4x2s - Counter battens 2x1, painted up with Black Jack - Millboard vertical cladding

Thank you, all ordered! My preferred supplier has Knaufs version, but they accept BG part numbers as apparently thats what everyone goes by

Not a chance of a rep in Jersey sadly!

Thank you. It's very simple, but I've never used the stuff before. I want to build a metal stud partition against an existing block wall with a small gap,and fill it with Rockwool SoundSlab, as a noise reducing measure between living room and bedroom. So fixings into the floor and ceiling studs only. Is it: GL8 for the floor track GL1 for verticles Seen mention of a deep track as preference for the top track, but not sure on part? Should a different stud be used at the ends, where meeting block walls? Do I need GL11 anchors for the floor and ends or are woodscrews with a washer and plug fine? It needs to be a slim wall, and the Rockwool will be 50mm. Super simple I know, but the white book is confusing Im finding. Thanks!

Hi all, A good while back I found a thread here about using Gypframe / steel studwork. A member had written an excellent guide on what bits to use where.... and I cannot for the life of me find it out! Searching stell+stud, gypframe, etc, don;'t show me what I know is here somewhere. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks Tim

Many thanks to @crispy_wafer, who was kind enough to send me 2x couplers. The only condition was that I make a donation to the running of the forum, which I have done. @jack should see the funds in the forum PayPal account now. Thanks again - top community spirit on all fronts! Tim

I'd not say for sure, but the Blauberg couplers are certainly compatible with all the QuietVent stuff I have.

Message on its way!

That would be great, if you have a few I’d ask for 2, just in case. i have lots of sealing rings thanks, and I assume these adapters fit the pipe I got from BPC. Let me know what you want for them, and I can help work out the shipping Tim

Hi all, I am in need of a 75mm coupler for my semi-rigid pipe. The challenge is I am in Jersey and everyone wants a kidney for shipping Does anybody have a spare one they would be happy to sell and ship? Many thanks Tim

Greenwood have a decent web site, I shall contact them as I cannot see anything suitable there. Do you have any links for them or Vent Axia for specific items? Google isn't coming up with what I want. Thanks

We looked at the in-hob ones, but want the full 5 hobs, and also I dread to think the crap that would get stuck in there! Siemens, Neff and Bosch are identical I discovered, all made by BSH group!

Yes aware that being so high it won't be as effective... thats outside of my control! I didn't think it looked to be very noisy? My wife works in kitchen design, so we get it for under half the price on Neff's website.
