    I have a set of these, the doors are so hard to get right, didn't do soft close when i bought these, but I can tell you that I ALWAYS forget to click the clip (its like a lock i think) on the top of the doors into place, which seems to be the difference between not working and working in a lot of cases!

    OK that doesn't sound too bad with poor sun amounts and losing Sun at 6pm (remember shading on even a single panel if they are all connected to a Single MPPT will kill the output on all, double MPPT will help keep this to a minimum, or solaredge to maximise each individual panel, but obviously i don't know your setup), keep an eye on it and see how it goes. You are quite a shallow angle too which might have a bearing on it, 30 degrees plus is much more favourable, and it can make quite a difference (as we experience in winter).

    Have you got any shading at all on any of the panels? Whats your daily production values for the last few days? Friday I generated 17.28kWh Yes, i would expect a good amount of W even on a cloudy day, you have 2kWp more than me. I couldn't tell you what mines producing at the moment, I need to connect it back to the internet after moving the switch the other day, thats a mission for tomorrow i think!

    Doesn't sound right to me, though depends how thick the cloud is I guess. Would have expected more than 1kW peak since install, I had that earlier and its not the brightest day up here, mines only 4kWp. Can you contact the installer? Inverter settings all as they should be?

    Give us some more info... How many panels, what direction and angle?

    Looking very sharp, bet you are glad you've got the render in place now! ? Have some not so good memories of narrow boating when i was little with my parents, throwing up all night with 'sea' sickness! Yep you read that right lol

    Yeah its still as good as the day i bought it, does the job brilliantly. Mine is also pointed at the ceiling, and nothing on there so far.

    From memory isn't it always preferable to have an airgap inside the partition, i.e. the insulation shouldn't full fill, so that any sound can reverberate and be absorbed.

    One other thing to consider is the two types of bifold doors, there are top hung and bottom hung, the better ones in my opinion are always bottom hung, where the weight all goes on the bottom of the frame, rather than hanging from the lintel, this may help to reduce deflection also.

    Seems an expensive product also. How about https://www.airstop.co.uk/product-page/isowindow-feba-soft Depending on how hands on you are, this would be easily done after their installation, before plastering. Out of curiosity, how much was your windows quote, i keep looking at adverts for idealcombi, look nice windows, well designed.

    The top opener window should certainly have the ability to lock with it open slightly. It should have one of these (the gold bit) One slot is fully closed, and the other is vent.

    im not too sure with tilt and turn, mother in law has them and I think hers has a lock on the turn, if you take a photo of both parts of the locking mechanism with the window open I might be able to suggest something
  13. MikeGrahamT21
    Or surface mounted may be easier to air seal

    cement based asbestos is low risk anyway, its very likely that the dust you saw was just dust and not actually from the sheet. They are incredibly hard to break and when they do they don't make much dust, you would have to take to it with an angle grinder to get any proper dust.

    Works spot on for me with a humidity boost sensor, the bungalow tends to me drier than it perhaps should be majority of the time. Drying clothes indoors is just mind bogglingly fast!
  16. MikeGrahamT21
    Get your self some bar keepers friend just in case! But no wouldn't have thought it would stain.
  17. MikeGrahamT21
    Are you able to put the window on a vent style lock? I can never remember if you can do that with tilt and turn. Or even just tilt it. Zero cost. Whatever you do low cost will let cold air in, but this may not be a serious issue.

    How about Larch with a light stain, you may have to get some samples and test: https://duffieldtimber.com/blog/cedar-vs-larch-cladding-which-should-i-choose
  19. MikeGrahamT21
    You're getting there ? Looking very nice, unbelievable how expensive nice things are these days!!
  20. MikeGrahamT21
    Also just to note, they will make suggestions to your plan if they think something could be better in their opinion, obviously have a think about it, but don't get swayed too much, how i designed it which is what i bought was far better than their suggestion.
  21. MikeGrahamT21
    You submit the plan to them for checking and then they come back with a trolley ready to hit buy, at least that’s what happened last year when I did mine

    Search for iQ online, it was a value range developed in partnership with cosentino for International Stones who yes are a wholesaler. I double checked when I bought that it wasn’t Chinese and they assured me of this, the slabs have cosentino on them

    According to Google: High in oxalic acid Rhubarb contains approximately 570–1,900 mg of oxalate per 3.5 ounces (100 grams) I have iQ White Quartz from International Stones (made by Cosentino). I've contacted them but not heard back as yet.

    I'm pretty sure rhubarb was edible last time i checked ?
