Thanks all.

Thanks - where would one find such a beast for 90mm duct to an air valve

Is there a single connection plenum for a 90mm duct? Can only see a two duct connection and they’re quite expensive

Hi all, I had completed my extension last year and all has been well so far, however I have done a post winter walk round to start on some of the finishing jobs and noticed some tiles that appeared to be lifting. Can anyone offer an opinion on whether this is anything sinister? My initial...

Hi all, Looking for some assistance on wall build up for a SIPS systrem (I am using the Kingspan TEK system if that helps). The outside of the SIPS panel have been wrapped with a breather membrance and are then to be clad with 50mm rockwool, which will then be rendered using something like EWI...
