Forever White in our bathroom for 5 years now is still like new. Tbh it's so ****ING cold in there I don't think mould can grow 😂

I've also used BT1. Very good.

Depends how keen you are but one way would be to route out a rectangular section of the door face and drop in a flush section of solid timber slightly smaller than the coat rack. You'd just make up a frame to route against and have at it. It would even take out the inner cardboard down to where you could glue the timber to the back of the opposite face with D4 or similar. Just weight it down, no screws. Similarly you could drill each vertical side at / on the centre line and height of the coat rack then knock a "broom handle" through to screw to, from one side to the other. You would have to remove / get through the inner corrugated card. Could be into hole saws with long extensions etc. In both cases you'd be screwing into "real wood". Fun either way!

Those wooden inserts were something like 100mm dia. Run through the thicknesser to get the depth, so as to be flush. I just filled around the edge as you can see below then sanded and glossed the lot. I put 3 or 4 screws in from the other side and plenty of wood glue. As Dad was prone to falls the idea was he could maybe grab the rail and haul himself up. It was a rush job near "the end". We'd been on at him for years to have an accessible bathroom done let alone re-wire, decorate, etc.

Sounds like you got off lightly!

Sadly not too far from the truth: White Gold https://g.co/kgs/JKZoPv5

The usual bodge is to fit undersize windows, not put any foam in at all, then cover the gaps with plastic trim. Ask me how I know!

At my Dad's, before he passed, the doors etc were the original from 1960. Hardboard skin with paper / cardboard inside. Hardly anything had been changed or updated. We needed to convert the bathroom one to a sliding door. Firstly so he could manoeuvre his walker through the hall, also in case he fell against the inward opening door. That plus fit a big handle which he would quite likely hang on. I Starrett cut big holes, then glued and screwed timber rounds from the other side: Put it this way, I could hang on it:

You go and celebrate eh? Wilco have a big toy sale on...

As the OP only mentions straw and not stone then I assume them.

Um...they were never for sale per se. It's unproven. I made one, shipped to a mate but Evri lost it. He has Ferrex batteries and old DeWalt tools...I don't. I haven't printed/made another. The ADHD kicked in and I can't be arsed.

Email Marmox and ask if there's a stockist near you for 50mm board. https://www.marmox.co.uk/ Send a photo of what you're trying to do and they might even send you a "sample" 😉

Thin cuts I hear? Guilty! I could have had the ceiling 2" lower and saved myself a load of grief around the top edge. Worst thing I did was, never having tiled before, start on that mitred section where the shower rail is. Hindsight etc. A dimmer switch hides a lot of poor tiling...

You could just reintroduce bears and let them **** in the woods. I think you can eat bear too.

Looks good in the picture...but then so does mine...except close up! Quite a forgiving pattern.

What about a piece of 50mm Marmox board? Foamed in with say Illbrück FM330.

I've decided! I'm going to char the pallet cladding on the cat tree house. It seems fitting as he is part Siamese.

Wish I'd used a levelling system...

This sort of thing. PVC, will pass the drop test etc: https://www.toolstation.com/pvc-conduit-pattress/p53404

A typical thread on the subject, the "a lot of companies" comment echos what I said. If you want comfort and can afford it long term then UFH with limited insulation may be for you. If saving energy/the planet then maybe not. There's some pics on the forum somewhere of @oranjeboom when his whole house floor got dug out. Not so much in his blog here: I've only dug down and built back up one room. Some pics of the digging and starting to build back up here:

It will work, it won't be efficient. If you're paying good money most companies will do whatever you want. Fit a heat pump in a totally unsuitable building, no problem etc. 99% of folk would feel warm underfoot and give the company rave reviews based on the feel good factor. Noting the extra expense will come later. Do all you can to mitigate heat losses elsewhere. On here @oranjeboom excavated his whole ground floor in his existing house then built back up with insulation and a new slab with UFH in.

25mm? You'll be heating worms. @Jeremy Harris on here had 300mm of eps under his floor slab. He calculated I think it was 8% of his total heat loss was through his floor with that much insulation. That's always stuck with me. If you're not fussed about cost it'll still feel nice underfoot, whatever.

When I build my pallet shed, I wonder what value I could end up with if I packed the pallet walls with straw? Might be best not to do the shou sugi ban charring with the cladding fitted..... (My nephews shed, not mine).
