Hello, I know this is an old thread but was interested in how you would’ve solved this? outside lights on a timer up to a set time then on a pir throughout night? Assuming PIR has lux sensor they’ll be off in day. Need them on up to about 2300 but after this time only activated by PIR? thanks

the front has only a bricks worth of over hang. the side are approx 5" to 12" as garden is not square & rear has about 8" gap. my garden is only 16' wide and shed & base takes up whole rear of garden so there is a 6' fenace around the back & sides.

I have just had a 15'x10' apex roof shed erected today. construction appears to be pse 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" treated studwork. treated 13mm shiplap walls & 15mm t&g roof. All sits on 18mm treated timber base on treated timber bearers approx 2x2. I had a concrete base constructed before hand which...

was looking on the british-gypsum site & they use an edge bead http://www.british-gypsum.com/pdf/SB07_GypLyner%20UNIVERSAL%20(W)_02.pdf Its on fig 13, is this just a stop bead?

What bead do i use to finish the pb where it meets the upvc window frame? Is there a special beading? if so how does it attach? Seen normal stop beads but not sure if this is the right item?

so i've had a look at pir vs pur & am getting conflicting info. One site says pir has superseded pur & its main difference is its fire rating. But speaking with selco who sell another brand they say pur is the new best thing not pir. also they said that celotex is pur but i've only...

so the pir doesnt react with pvc in cable insulation, just thought pir was extruded poly & might still react. good to know it doesnt & was on phone with celotex earlier who also confirmed this. Ga 3000 seems best bet, in 70mm but dearer than expected. been searching & jewsons do recticel...

what about 100mm of rockwool wedged into the space? i can prob get 75mm of celotex in before it infringes on the cables etc. does the foil covereing protect pvc cables?

i need 50mm of insulation to insert between a timber frame, whats the best in terms of performance? also the foil facing on the celotex, does this prevent the poly insulation reacting with pvc cables as well as being thermally beneficial?

okay i need solutions for what i have already. baby on the way & money tight. the stud work is 3x2 & i'm not ripping it down now. i've moved the electrics into the front 20mm of the studs/ noggins. plan to move the heating pipes too. regarding the vapour barrier, i believe some...

my 3x2 is about 20mm from the wall at its shallowest. built it because the wall was in bad state & very uneven. also wanted to add insulation. so if i push the insulation right back should = 75mm + 20mm void - 50mm kingspan = 45mm + 12.5mm plasterboard. can i push it right back to the...

i have built a stud wall out of 3x2 & plan to use 50mm celotex/kingspan insulation in between frame work before vapour barriering & plasterboarding. my question is how do i mount the back boxes for the light sockets & socket outlets? Do i use a plasterboard back box & hack out a hole in...

I need to vapour barrier over my internal stud wall but am struggling to locate a stockist. I dont want to spend loads & only have 1 wall to cover with it, have seen screwfix & wickes version but wanted to know if there was a better alternative? Also need to locate a stockist of the tyvek...
