Equation of faith goes like this :
want bathroom +
dont know exactly what suite +
dont know what shower x
not really sure how this is going to go /
wife-factor
Lots of variables not many constants ...
Right !
It’s complicated !
Doing the ufh prep in the bathroom .
How thick does the wall need to be to take a geberit hidden flush cistern ?
Because we don’t know the exact size of our shower tray nor the bath type ( as in where the waste is or where the taps are ) i’m going to shutter out those areas so they have no ufh nor screed ; same for inner geberit wall .
This a sensible plan given the situation?
cheers
150mm pir ordered ; cheapest I could find certainly not local builders merchants .
Also found vcl ( looks the same as Permagard ) slightly cheaper . Double tape ( for vcl overlaps ) , tape for edges , foil tape all found cheaper on eBay
Ufh company said expansion perimeter not required ; pir upstands good enough for that . Nearly done one room of upstands - not neat - but every piece of pir is an off cut left over - so free ?
Mind you the 15 sheets of 150mm pir will be expensive ?
If I put expansion tape at the perimeter like this

Does it go under vcl or ontop it ? ( i’m Guessing ontop ! )
Why can’t I just cover the whole thing in vcl and tape it further up the timber .
Why do the dpc strip around the perimeter?
Is the vcl thin and likely to tear ??? That why ???
They would be perfect for that ?
They have no grip on the surface but certainly don’t seem slippery when dry .
They are structural glass so strength not an issue ( BUY THEM ! )
