Good afternoon, please provide some help If you can. We have just fitted a large top hung Ali Window and originally packed toe heel but when pulling the window closed it was not drawing in top left corner, so wasn’t shutting square. So after reading a few forums where people advised to only pack at the bottom and side which we have now done, it’s sorted out one problem which is the gap is equal all round but not fixed the issue of closing accurately in top left corner ie square. please help we have currently packed 100mm from top, on the sides & 100mm from each edge on the bottom, handle edge. window is 1000mm wide x 1200mm deep. any advise ???

Another day, another topic....Today we're fixing our timber soleplate to our concrete block wall. We already ascertained last week that the blockwork wall was not level enough at various points. After reading stuff about packing underneath the soleplate regarding potential condensation problems, and difficulty in filling under the packed plate to achieve air tightness, i decided to get the brickie back to bed the soleplate in mortar. It's done and is level enough running around the perimeter, 18 m x 6.5 m. But it's off level running across the 145 mm of soleplate for a length of about 10m running down one long side. I'm a little upset by this, as not only is my internal FFL affected, but we're still looking at having to pack the sole plate !.......any ideas community?
