Might be an option for me when I do the lounge / diner knock through. Was going to go timber but seeing this makes me think otherwise. What's the cost like vs timber? Yeah I think I would . As I said the rest of the basement will be done the correct way I.e with top and bottom track . I’m sure there are different systems - which adds to the confusion.

scottishjohn Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 only thing I would not be happy with is the steel studs on the wet side of the membrane,they will corroded in time if its damp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onoff Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 @pocster, sorry if being dense, why the OSB? Thought you would just screw pb on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Cost is comparable - it’s a pretty good system and available most places. Wickes do it, as do most of the merchants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we have some leaks as you know . Also ufh manifold , uvc tank all going in this corner . Rather the guys fixed to my osb than drill through the membrane . They also requested this be done . wont pb this corner , no point , will ultimately be in a cupboard On the rest of the house underground think I would still do osb , with pb ontop - just feels more robust .

nod Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 3 hours ago, Big Neil said: is it all interchangeable, in much the same way as 2X4 is 2X4. Is all steel studwork the same mr @nod. Where is the best place to get it? All gypliner is interchangeable BG the best But there is a cheaper version Not as good to use but does the same job Most of mine comes from Sheffield insulation or Encon Quite a few merchants stock the basic 50 & 70 mil stud and some of the basic cieling stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So BG Gypliner? Also, when we talk about 50mil in this context we mean in the same dimension as the 2 inch of a 2X4 timber yes? where the perpendicular face is 100mm?

Pocster Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 Pipework in minus stop tap ; they posted the wrong size ? Perimeter drain going in . The ‘rodding ‘ holes are a bit pants . They sit in the drain so literally will be in the stud frame . Can’t worry about that for now - have to make a nice access hatch I guess . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell griffiths Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Oh ok I think I’m confusing it with the insulation you put down and push the pipes into the grooves i think you wanted it for drainage issues didn’t you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
