ISOTEX

Recommended Posts

We have a date!!

 

Three weeks and the house will be ours, so from having been working from pictures and a few visits I can begin to think how do I get my hands dirty in the coming months..

 

We intend to add a very generous extension to an already slightly amended 1930's semi.

 

The weekend we went as a couple to our first trade show Grand Designs at the NEC we came across isotex and seem to be a novel idea? 

 

We then watched on catch up the street with the first two using a similar product.

 

The idea it seems to be almost a one hit job does appeal. I may take up their offer of free training on their product.

 

I personally like the idea they are a composite material making use of recycled pallets.

 

 

The build would require a series of three walls being built

We went to Swindon yesterday and took in the demos of a few ICF manufacturers.

 

ISOTEX sort of sealed it....

 

It was a bit different to the glitz of "GD" last week but very useful to attend and to get as many views as we did in the five hours or so we spent there.

 

Next up will be booking on their training.

Can you tell me what swung your decision to Isotex, and what other products you looked at. 

Cheers russ.

Its still to get to buying it Russ.

 

But overall and so far it seems to be the most simple to understand system, which is like lego..and seems straightforward to make use of.

 

The fact its like block eases my partners take on it.

 

It comes with integral insulation

 

Can be cut into reasonably to sink cables etc without too much effort

 

Can have finnishes added failry easy too

Not sure I see that as a plus, mine is 150mm core and I look at it sometimes and wish it was thicker. 

LOL

no need  in uk till you go over 3  floors.

we don,t have earth quakes here

the italian spec  one is 150mm -so you can have that if you want but that is  20% more concrete cost ,if someone was worried --drop some rebar in it

-cheaper than more concrete ?
