Anticon (anticondensation) is foil and insulation normally used under metal roofing to prevent moisture condensing on the underside of the tin and then dripping back onto the ceiling. Sarking is typically used under tile roofs and provides protection ...

Thanks for advise

blanket type insulation definitely, i used to work doing roof insulation a lifetime ago and you'll be amazed at how well the stuff works. The difference between crawling around in a roof space of a house that has a blanket insulation under the tin compared to one without on a hot day is huge. In my...

Thanks Alex

Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glassBuilding A New House

Mar 11, 2020 10:00 pm

Which direction does the glazing face? What type of low-e coating exactly? To keep the heat from the sun out, or keep your winter heating in? Low SHCG, to keep heat from the direct sun out, or high SHGC, to let it in? Different glazing solutions should be used for different orientations. It is requ...

It is required as per energy report and we do have some west facing windows to some bedrooms as well.

Hi all Just need some opinion about using non treated timber mgp10 for house. Is it normal to use non treated timber frame by builders? Or it is important to have treated timber frame for walls and roof.

Re: Double glaze windows with Low e glassBuilding A New House

Mar 03, 2020 9:11 pm

We’ve only been in our house for 3 weeks and had no really hot weather in that time so difficult to tell. But as we have fantastic rural views out of these windows and are not planning any window coverings it was a requirement for us to install low e glass in order to meet the 6* energy rating requ...

Thanks. Good luck with your new home and hope you are enjoying it.

We have Low e glass (manufactured by Viridian) on our double set of sliding doors. It is a clear glass but I think there is the slightest grey tinge to it when compared to an adjacent window.

Re: Window Reveals- Meranti vs timberBuilding A New House

Jan 28, 2020 8:20 pm

Meranti is "hardwood". If you are referring to internal reveals then Meranti is fine. Thanks chippy, I did mean internal reveals. I am not quite sure which one I should go for between Meranti and timber.

Re: Window and door heightGeneral Discussion

Dec 07, 2019 6:18 am

I think the front facade looks fine as it is. The group of 3 windows/ sliding door at the front work together, start from the ground up and have a lower roofline/ eaves than the other windows at the front of the house, which start from a sill about a metre off the ground. If you made them 2340mm hi...

Thanks ben888 for your advice I will ask this question sure.
