Does the business card go all the way down? There is a bubble seal and at the base a harder lip. The card should stop at the lip. The bubble is softer. If the card goes all the way down then it sounds to me as though the window is forward enough to press on the seal. You report the back is...

Hi, I see that when going up you can board out the floor with caberdek (is there a similar product?) which has a plastic top sheet so it can take the wet (at least for 42 days). But if you don't want to go that route how do you work inside above floor joists these days (and meet elf and...

I notice that the inside of some of these spectus windows is also mouldy. So they are getting condensation on the inside. Is it anything to do with condensation on the inside face? Possibly it is easy for water on the inside face to leak down to the chamber. The bead corners are not welded...

The website link says that wintex works ok so I'm inclined to think that comip and comwifi just package the serial bytes. Wintex has a keypad emulator and wintex just uses a serial message so I'd guess the apps do the same.

So does the wifi/lan panel contact Texecom by default? Or is it that the app tells the comwifi to do or not to that (and comwifi remembers)? I can only find a setting in the app. I don't find my wifi routers that unreliable, but I have scanned my area and picked a clean frequency. It seems...

Worst case is I sit a wired wifi router next to control panel - still cheaper than the wired card, especially as I have old wifi routers going spare. I'm not sure I understand how it all works though. I get that I setup IP address etc. so panel is on my local network. App is given my local...

I've looked a bit more at Texecom. The wifi module is ~£40 which is a bit more reasonable than the ~£100 for the hard wired lan card.

OK, that's useful to know. I've looked up the app on google store and it says the app can be used with premier 48-168, premier elite 12-640 or Premier international 412-832. What's more the store showed my other apps so quite a few alarm systems to check out. It would be useful to know if any...

What? Do you mean why don't I want to use a windows program? That's because I won't have a windows PC running. If I want remote access then I will have a panel in the house, hard wired to raspberry pi, which will be accessible over the net on https. I wouldn't want to have a windows PC...

Thanks for the suggestion. I had a look at the info on the Texecom premier and I could only find wintel, windows only. The coms seem to be encrypted so no change of rolling your own. Or have I got that wrong? What I has in mind was a standard panel setup with panel and remote keypads, then...

Hi, Any suggestions for a wired alarm panel that could be connected to a home network? Something with a LAN port that has a published (or hacked) interface. Or something with a remote keypad with a published or hacked interface. I've currently got a Honeywell Accenta alarm which has a 1 wire...

The liniar seal should look like this. It's hollow and lower edge is a thick rubber flipper. The rear clip in bead is different for double glazing (28mm) and triple glazing (36mm). Look here at page 42/43 (or 41/88 as it says at the bottom). The bubble seal is soft at the top but the rubber...

Another thought is the frame warped (i.e. installed wrong). If the frame was screwed in warped and the then closed the window you warp that frame which could open the seals since the glass unit won't warp. Since your leakage looks to be all the way along the bottom then the warping should be...

Hmm, I find it strange that liniar reckon water and dirt are meant to pass through the seal. According to liniar's specification booklet (page 17) the bubble gasket "achieved zero air leakage during independent tests as BSI". How can you have zero air leakage and let water and dirt through...

The picture in #6, to me, does not support the suggestion that it is water collecting above the seal. If that was the case I would expect to see a black line where the seal is compressed and algae growing above that, in the water. The algae is, if anything, below the seal and goes down to the...

The weld isn't dependent on the profile I've chosen. That was an interesting thread you linked to. No real explanation of the cause though. My old double glazing has rubber lips that come up the window. I guess the advantage of that is it doesn't allow any water to puddle. Disadvantage is...

Just FYI I wasn't judging the fabricators just on the fact the did 3 grooved or knifed and grooved. I've visited the fabricators I was considering and based my choice on a combination of factors.

I think will have to agree to differ on that then. I wouldn't buy a car with orange peel paint and if it was a new car I'd reject it as not of satisfactory standard. If you accept rubbish then you've only yourself to blame when your sold rubbish. What next? Car goes in for repair and they...

So has been said. Myself I find it odd. I mean if I buy a car, yes I check to see the engine runs well, tyres have tread etc. but I also want the paint job to be good. Why is it any different to having found a good energy efficient window profile I then want the finish to be good, which IMO...

FYI I have found a supplier aka fabricator that does all grooved for 3 way Y joint. That is Garden of Eden in Swindon. They seemed a bit more interested in quality than some.
