Hi Gary, it's been a few years since we met. I think I was the one of the first to cross your door over three years ago as the day we met you where only moving in to your new offices and couldn't find anything to show us.

Welcome aboard I am sure one of the mods will be along to explain the rules around advertising your own goods on the forum.

Welcome Gary, just about to commission the system I bought from you back in Jan and installed in Feb/March

Hi Gary,

 

Good to have you on board!

 

Its a great place to share knowledge and even better when we have some domain experts at hand.

 

Cheers

Welcome Gary,

 

Looking forward to the benefit of your advice and experience.  All I can say is that if you are as helpful here as you were when I was a potential customer (providing me with a layout plan and air flow calculations before I had even committed to buying), it will be great for everyone.

Hi Gary. 

I think the feedback so far has spoken for itself, so good to have you on board as a contributor. 

If your at all unsure of the "do's and dont's" please feel free to PM one of the staff, but were certainly the better for new, genuine members   

Prepare to have your brain picked   

Nick.

Yup and we are another BPC customer.  Happy with everything so far but we are just about to start boarding out internally, so don't plan to do final commissioning for another 3 months.

Well, had  a quote from BPC and the Green build store.... £4k difference! Looks like it's BPC for me! :-)

Hi Gary, 

 

BPC have been fab for me so far - you guys and MBC have been the only contractors I haven't had to run about after and triple-check everything. A small drop of reassurance in an ocean of anxiety

 

Welcome.

Hi Gary,

 

I have just come across your new youtube video which might be helpful to watch for some of those on the forum looking to self install - I'm about to commission mine after installing it some months back - fingers crossed!!

Hi Gary and welcome, I will be self installing next year and have a question, on another forum a chap did his self install and was of the opinion that flow control at the plenum was better than at the room terminal because of possible air noise at the terminal? Can you comment please.

Hi Joe. 

There are 3 ways you can adjust the flow on a radial duct system,

manifold- a ring is inserted at the manifold and restricts the air by closing over the hole, we do not really like this as over time the ring is an obstacle that can gather dirt restricting even more air and requires you to service the manifold

Plenum - the plenum has a damper inside to adjust airflow allowing for any type of grille and is popular if fitting architectural types of ceiling valves

Air valve - 90% of all systems adjust at the air valve as this allows for easy adjustment and noise is normally only a issue if using poor quality air valves

Hi Gary

What is an 'architectural type of ceiling valve'?

 

(btw - we've just ordered our ducting etc from you )

[bpc ventilation]

Instead of a conventional cone air valve it is possible to use a plate diffuser like this  we will also be supplying a range of flush mounted designer grilles later next year
