I think I'll stick with the timber wall plate as it would mean bringing the brickie back to build the dwarf wall where I can do the wall plate myself with anker fixings.

Sorry joists below a bi-fold, I'm guessing I'll have to put a timber wall plate there then.

Sorry another question - the brickie has built some of the joist hangers into the walls which is fine but there is a run of approx 4m where the bi-fold doors are where he obviously couldn't, would I need to fit a timber wall plate along that section or just sit the hangers on top of the blockwork?

Thanks I've been using 150mm anchor fixings for other timbers which are a great product, probably do the same for this.

We have a kitchen extension where the brickie has built the outer floor joists into the brickwork, the other ends of the joists will be fixed to the existing building, which fixing method is best: Cut pockets into masonry and sit on DPC Fix joist hangers directly to the face of the existing blockwork Fix joist hangers directly to the face of the existing blockwork but cut in with grinder to allow lateral restaint Fix a timber wall plate and sit joists on this

Great stuff thank you, I was sort of hoping I wouldn't need one as I'll have to house it/box it in but if the system will work better with it then I don't mind.

Thanks so to use it independantly I would need a manifold?

I am planning to install UFH heating to our kitchen extension, its a timber joist construction with insulation, its covering one room plus a small utility and WC the whole area is approx 23m2, the system is being connected to a conventional heating system, do I need a manifold or could it be controlled by a TRV?

Thanks I did find their website after I'd posted on here, I'll give them a call.

We have built a single storey kitchen extension which will have a side door for day to day use, as its just less than 1000mm from a neighbouring property building control are insisting we fit an FD30 door, as its the main entrance we'd like something at least a little decorative, can anyone advise what is available as I'm not having much luck searching. Additionaly there is a window next to the door that also needs a 30 minute rating, not sure what we can fit here either so suggestions would be appreciated..
