    Downdraft extraction

    missus wants a downdraft in the island of our new kitchen which is in the extension of a bungalow. I understand I need to put some 150mm pipe in the ground, bring it up where the island will be, but what do I do the other end? I was planning on having this under my hardcore so I have to bring...

    RSJ over 5m patio door advice

    They are sunflex 4 panel sliding patio doors, 25mm sightline, they were slightly over budget and bigger than we wanted but they retail at 12k I got them for 4.5k as they were used for 2 exhibitions. There is a local branch of sunflex near me and they post their mismeasures/ex display stuff on...

    Thanks again. Ive actually got a bargain on a set of sunflex/id systems patio doors which are 6.191m wide and 2.248m tall, including the flush track so once thats in will probably be regular height ish. You still think a 30UB will be suffient? Ive still not heard from the structural engineer...

    Awesome!!! Thanks for the info, and yeh makes sense on the measurements, i was going off another flat roof extension I had seen, the measurement to the eaves was 2.5m but by that calculation they hadnt used the full 3m allowance, makes sense now. I take it a 30UB can simply have a plate welded...
