4x2 with 100x100 posts conced in ground every 1200 will be rock solid. you can allways put a length of 4x2 both sides of the posts if you went mega rigid for the little extra cost. Dont bodge it by sitting on bits of block.slabs etc.

U value ?

if you have access to the loft space just use a flexi duct and put the tile vent high up as it will go.

Which ASHP are set up to cool
Dave Jones replied to Triassic's topic in Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)
there isnt really much of a controller on the panasonic ones, pretty much on and off. If you leave it on auto with a set temp it only turns on when there is flow from the ASHP. -
personally would remove the swept T and replace with a 90. Then boss the shower waste directly to the stack using that tailor made spare boss you can see.

SVP you can use a tile vent like the one below, just get a good colour match your tile manufacturer will do one. https://www.roofingventilation.co.uk/Sandtoft-Calderdale-Slate-Tile-Vent-RV10K-1 Stove pipe will need doing by a HETAS engineer to b signed off.

interesting they look identical to the panasocin units. Same factory i wonder ? -
marmox detailing is on their website, its different for different scenarios. Unfortunately you have chosen the most expensive build system whose only benefit is speed, so it its not up and finished in 2 months its wasted cash unfortunately.

D4 glue.. is this a structural glue? Be careful folks!
Dave Jones replied to Gus Potter's topic in Timber Frame
only had to get a D4 caberboard up once, it came in bits and essentially had to be planed off the joist that's how strong the glue was. Pretty sure if you glued 4 x 100mm strips of OSB together you could easily hang a ton jumbo bag off them. -
honestly dont bother. get fancoils instead. for example It's currently 30C outside, solar is close to maxed out. heat pump is set at 15c to the UFH loop and fancoils, upstairs is at 22.5 and falling. the heat pump will cut out in another hour or so once the slab is at temp and upstairs will sit at 20/21 downstairs little cooler. I have a bluetooth sensor we use to monitor, it says bathroom but its moved into one of the bedrooms at the moment.

unless you want tiles above the basin/spalshback in which case probably best to have it fitted.

Loft loading limits - strengthening the truss
Dave Jones replied to Jawbkk's topic in Lofts, Dormers & Loft Conversions
if you have anything in the loft sitting on the bottom cord you definately dont have anywhere near enough insulation. IT should be a bare minimum 300mm deep on top the trusses. -
which is why the builder did it like he did. As you had an architect i expect they did crystal clear fully detailed drawing of how to build it leaving no margin for doubt!!!

Replacing first floor joists
Dave Jones replied to Jawbkk's topic in Party Wall & Property Legal Issues
pozi joists are very good if you have services to run. Common method is to fix a ledger board to the wall to affix hangers onto then just drop them in.
