  1. Is it OK to use EPS rather than PIR to insulate the reveal?
  2. Weird. my 2-storey, 270sqm build only uses 140mm frames. will my house fall down?
  3. standard black stuff. Concentric in our case.
  4. our DNO (NIE) mandates a red hockeystick, and most of the cabling on rural sites is direct buried.
  5. what about going top hung then, don't they generally have the usual top bar to vent and rotate as well as a lever handle at the bottom for top-hinged function.
  6. https://www.keyliteroofwindows.com/shop/centre-pivot-04-780x980mm/
  7. well at some point, this will then likely need input from a structural engineer surely?
  8. is the TF being stickbuilt on site or is there a spec to go to a factory?
  9. they do white wood too.
  10. non-woven mat (as used in spray booths as paint catcher, and prefilters in fumecupboards etc, costs next-to-nothing and can even be washed if you're gentle. Basically the same stuff used in the MVHR units anyway...
  11. Personally I wouldn't panic about a vent being present... have a look at the Keylite products too. We went for their UPVC units and they're very impressive, much handier to install than a Velux.
  12. it's my perception that a perfectly-smooth tile is grippier when wet than the dimpled non-slip things used round municipal swimming pools.
  13. is PTV carried out wet or dry, and what material is used as the slipper?
  14. will it run off battery also?
  15. We're drawn at 16@176r x 250g, 900wide with a 180deg turn halfway. Current temp stair is a single run slightly steeper and no hassle at all so I suspect the 176/250 will be pretty comfy.
  16. 16kW is pretty big for an efficent new build.
  17. might get away with nothing more than bringing the cistern duct into the main one with an elbow facing downstream.
  18. not powered by, Ian. Create a low pressure zone in the main extract duct to draw flow from the duct coming from the cistern.
  19. you could rig up a venturi in the extract duct to draw from the cistern feed.
  20. these are just the same chinesium edge-lit panels you can get everywhere from B&Q to Ebay. I've just opened a B&Q one I had sitting here which is 5W IIRC and it's 380lm with a 245mA driver.
  21. nice and flat.
  22. almost. they set datum tripods and then fill to that level, before dappling the air out and moving any small amounts around to give it the best chance.
  23. and it's set. hard. Amazing, makes quite the difference to the feel of the house. But then, ten-odd tonnes of mass will do that.
