Thanks it took a bit of thinking about Id run the joists cross ways So I marked out at 400 centres and fixed a 70 x 18 mill strip of ply in the centre of the lantern Both top and bottom and a 10 mil strip 400 either side of centre Then boarded out with 15 mil osb Then the multi layer foil insulation and then I fixed 70 mil down to 10 mil tapers to corispond with the osb strips Which created a nice crown top and bottom then I used the OSB 3 to board it out works really well wgen it rains heaven it pours out of the temporary pipes at the side Ferdinand 9 hours ago, Ferdinand said: Looks good.

Ferdinand Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 (edited) I hadn't realised until this morning, but Eurocell are one of our local successes, and seem to have a very good reputation. They are a £200m turnover business based within 5 miles of where I live, and manufacture their products in Alfreton, Derbyshire. Largest UK based PVCU profile manufacturer / recycler. I hope they stay independent; we require a Mittelstand. Founded in 1974, , and hahave been through a couple of ownerships; now independent and on the stock exchange. So, yes ... buy Eurocell if they meet your needs. Hopefully suppliers like Sunamp will follow a similar or better growth pattern.
