Right ! I’m starting to think about where my mvhr , header tank etc are going to go in my limited loft space . I was going to board with T&G directly onto the joists . So then I’ve got a platform for me and the stuff . Assume this is ok . Was also at this point planning where I should fit the loft ladder . Just thinking about access to mvhr for filter changes and header tank if there are any issues .

Yeah I looked at their website . Was interested in what everyone else used and naming convention; I was thinking ... e.g -1/Bedf/light1 so -1 is floor ( -1 below ground for me ?) , Bedf - bedroom front , then of course light1

Presumably I buy a little blow torch to shrink them ?

Yeah I was just worried about rubbing off , label being torn or ( most probably ) being unable to read my own writing!! Might punt on one from a company with a returns policy . Something tells me i’ll Be labelling a lot of things . I reckon i’ll have at least 60 cat6 cables - that’s ignoring all the things I haven’t thought of yet !

Well here’s the reply ..... doesn’t seem to address dryness of air hope this information explains things A Mechanical Ventilation Heat Recovery (MVHR) system is an energy recovery ventilation system that uses an air-to-air heat exchanger that recovers heat that is usually wasted. It works by supply and extracting airflows in and out of homes and buildings to ensure a better indoor air quality. Heat recovery units can recover up to 90% of normally lost heat depending on the unit and the application. A MVHR system works independently from a heating system and due to the heat recovery feature, it can have great savings on your energy bills. A MVHR system works to eliminate condensation and mould within a building by constantly ventilating a property. By eliminating condensation, it also eliminates the risk of damage to the structure of a building and stops the build up of mould and damp. MVHR systems are suitable for small residential products to large commercial projects.

My next question would be what numbering/lettering systems do people use to avoid f’ups later on ! ??

Need to start thinking how I’m going to label my trillions of cat 6 cables . Need a reliable way - not stickers . Been looking at https://www.fs.com/uk/products/23298.html or https://cpc.farnell.com/hellermanntyton/w3-270-cc/cable-marker-cc-snap-on-500-box/dp/CB18314?mckv=sgFjgsKVa_dm|pcrid|224645119674|kword||match||plid||slid||product|CB18314|pgrid|52698577371|ptaid|pla-583456645642|&CMP=KNC-GUK-CPC-SHOPPING&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIjtKZ2M-R4wIVRxDTCh2-ugV1EAQYASABEgJCa_D_BwE This the right way to go ? . Expensive for plastic numbers ! But hey ho !

Surely the incoming ( outside air ) is ok as in not dry ?

? i’ll Send them an email and find out !

Ok , why don’t the mvhr companies push this ??? . Just wondering as they don’t seem to mention it ....

Now I’m confused ! I thought mvhr took the stale air and moisture out - used the heat for incoming . Why cycle the moisture back into the house ?

I’m still not sure even what this is and the benefits....

Ok , guess it depends on house layout and usage . I’ll leave the boost switches out but was going to put motion/humidity sensors in anyway ( fibaro one’s do the lot ) . Good to know though

I’ve been “told” to use osb as it’s cheaper and more environmentally friendly.....

Think i’ll Just link the boost function per zone to my own home automation humidity and movement sensors . Surely the manufacturer doesn’t expect someone to push a boost button just because they’ve had a shower ????!!!

Been looking through the spec in more detail . They recommend 4 ‘boost’ buttons . When would I use these ? . I assume in a wet room it would ‘boost’ automatically with humidity. Is there no humidity sensor at the end of each duct ? ( does it not work like that ? ) . Personally sounds better to link boost to a movement sensor in bathrooms / wetrooms . I was expecting a system where you set and forget .... Any advice welcome

Thanks . I plan to make sure access is good and will mount it suitably just for that reason .

BPC have replied and suggest Vent Axia Kinetic FH Duct pipe cost more than the unit! ?

Dumb question and just a thought . Could you not comb the floor with adhesive. Then comb the back of the tile offset ? I.e so tile adhesive interlocks the gaps in floor adhesive... Or is that plain dumb ? ?

It’ll be worth every penny !

Well ! A walbot iOS is on the way ! So guess who will be testing it first !!!

I would imagine walk on glazing is difficult to add after the build . Best Buy it now ....

The ratchet method is your friend ; but very slow I.e years .....
