UNIVERSAL BEAMS FOR LOFT CONVERSION

alscho · 23 Jun 2009

HELLO EVERYONE,

IM SOURCING SOME UB'S FOR A LOFT CONVERSION. I'VE HAD SOME DECENT QUOTES FROM LOCAL FIRMS - ROUGHLY ABOUT HALF WHAT A LOCAL BUILDER WAS QUOTING FOR THE SUPPLY. HOWEVER, DO I NEED TO GET THEM SHOTBLASTED AND PAINTED? I KNOW THIS MIGHT SEEM A DAFT QUESTION, BUT I HAVEN'T A CLUE. IF YOU DONT ASK YOU'LL NEVER KNOW.WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE? IS THIS THE NORM WHEN PUTTING BEAMS IN A LOFT?

THANKS.

I hear fire damaged ones are pretty cheap.

Is the builder going to have to install the beams that you cobble together?

Nose....

You're right up your own **** aren't you noseall. I'ts a simple enough question, nothing to do with "cobbled together" beams, or defective beams. Don't bother answering if it's only to take the ****. It's about saving money, probably about £600, so take your smug answer and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Don't come back on the post with your insults. This is the nature of the forum is it not? Ask questions?

Calm down ffs

They should be blasted and painted, min dft 75 microns. If not though, it's not going to fall down.

Cheers, mate. Like i said, i have no idea, so that's why i asked. Anyone need any plastering advice ive no problem giving it rather than treating whoever asked like a ****. Thanks.

Does that translate to a tin of red oxide and a 3" brush?

For full micron control I'd recommend a small gloss paint roller.
