SIPS build in north east Scotland.

[Peter Thompson]

Many of the questions that I have been searching for via the internet have brought me here; so I decided to register.

We're building from a kit which has 150mm walls and a 175mm roof; hence we have to fit 40mm of PIR to the ceiling and 25mm to the walls in order to meet Scottish regs.  The foundations started in August and we've been working on it since early September.

We have ordered a Catnic, standing-seam roof kit, and plan to install that ourselves after being messed about by a specialist roofer.

Having twice previously installed our own underfloor heating system, we've already installed the underfloor pipework and have Cemfloor self-levelling screed over 140mm PIR.  We'll be having a 5kW, Ecodan ASHP, which has been generously donated by the Scottish Government.

I'll try to upload images once I've collated them, and I'll update on progress.

This gives an idea of the style of the kit...the tiny car is for scale....I'vebeen kidding on that I'm building a giant garage.
