I’m waiting for @nod to wet himself !

I guess you could argue that condensation could occur with the horizontal ceiling track against the concrete ! . There will be a suspended ceiling as well .

Here From this angle you can see the gap

Yes there’s a gap . The membrane isn’t perfectly flat to the wall so you probably can’t see the gap . gaps about 1.5 -> 2cm Theoretically all moisture should be only behind the dimpled membrane- that’s its purpose .

Yep a that would be great wouldn’t it . You could leave with just a top and bottom track or fix with glypliner brackets aswell ! Yeah ! Why aren’t they boxed ? Cost I guess . Could screw 2 together ?

I’ve improvised due to lack base channel and confusion!! Still prefer to have the glypliner brackets just need the correct system! . Was using track I had lying around . Guess there are different systems..... I only need another 10 verticals which I've order from local builder merchants. As it would seem there are different systems it will be interesting too see what turns up!

Well this is what confused me ! it I rotate them ( like in an earlier photo ) the glyplier bracket can only attach to 1 side which is wrong . This way does appear stable ....

You also use the plugs to attach the membrane to the wall .

The steel on its own just in horizontal channels doesn’t feel particularly sturdy . The membrane has special plugs . You drill through the membrane and put these water tight plugs in . You can then screw into the plug ( without piercing the membrane) for a water tight system . heres the plugs so it makes sense ? https://www.permagard.co.uk/p-seal-quick-plugs yes perimeter drain and sump

Drywall screws ok for mounting the osb ??? - just double checking !

First piece of osb up . Using short sharp screws to hold osb to steel . Very boring to do ! Can I use a collating gun and dry wall screws for this ? Or is that a big no ???

I guess it’s like timber frame houses . its only relatively recently done here ; most of us do it that way . But in the US Florida , practically every build has been done like that for decades . @Big Neil If my retarded efforts haven’t put you off then the system must be fu*king brilliant !

Ok So first sheet of osb to go up !

Lol No idea . The only reason i’m Using it is I’m in a basement with damp - so don’t fancy timber . I think if skilled ? , it would be quicker . Also you know a length is straight unlike timber .

Well I’ve either become skilled or I’m making a pigs ear of this . 300mm is not required ; but i’ll Use it on this wall as there is no base track . Only has to hold osb .

Hmmmmmmmm This right ? Almost straight .... Not sure about this .....

I think it’s meant to be cheaper . i got 10 3.4m lengths of vertical for about £36 . I just used the nearest builders merchants as I need this done now .

Right ! i see a problem , these glypliner brackets aren’t meant to be used with this stud I don’t think . Let me twist the vertical to face - this must be wrong as otherwise the utility holes are pointless . photo of it wrong ?

Not sure I like this system. But then that’s probably more because it’s new too me . Theres no horizontal base track because ufh and screed needs to be done . Only doing this wall without track just so Uvc and ufh manifold have somewhere to go . So a bit experimental .

Not really . I ordered some of those plastic grommets - see how I get on with them

I’m doing 300 centres because i’m Scared ?

You in trouble???

@Onoff can you finish the bloody bathroom first ? ?

Feel happier with these https://www.readyfixuk.co.uk/products/cable-and-pipe-support-systems/cable-and-pipe-fixings/caddy-and-furze-fixings/general-caddy-and-furze-fixings/esg1-easy-snap-grommet-188470

Yeah the steel I have does have pre cut holes presumably for cables . The edges do seem relatively sharp . Would prefer a rubber edge in there
