I see, so the membrane does need to sag. I will just remove the rockwool and insert foam board insulation between joists with a 50mm air gap above. Hopefully that will allow the roof fabric to work correctly.

Hi KenGMac, Thank you for your response. All right I understand that the moist air and difference in temperature can cause condensation. I should specify though, this is not in the loft space. The roof slant belongs to a bedroom in the house extension. So I do not see a provision for adequate...

They are rafters. How can I prevent condensation behind the insulation?

I removed insulating wool that was between rafters for a few days. The upper side of the wool became wet, specially on the low end and closer to the window. There seems to be condensation along the membrane. Is that normal? Will it damage the rafters?

Cool thank you for the reply.

Yeah the front wheel should be at least 90% in when the rear wheel shifts into flush position. Will it work, well I would like to try ;)

Nice product, thank you for the link. It is a bit expensive. My design utilises a single track but the downside is that one of the wheels is fixed in the centre of the door instead of the end which may put more strain on it.

I would like to install a sliding door for a bathroom project. My requirement is that the door I practically invisible when closed, so it should be flush with the wall on the outside. I am aware of concealed sliding doors but they are invisible when open, not when closed. The solution is...

Thank you ^woody^

Hello, We have taken down the wall between the lounge and the kitchen. There is now a RSJ beam to support the floor above. What are the requirements for fire safety? We need to plaster the beam and the kitchen ceiling with fire retardant boards. We need to install mains powered fire alarms in...

Thank you crazydaze, have you used them before?

Hello, I found a luxury vinyl tile which I really like. It is from Higena and it is reasonably priced. I would like to use it in the kitchen, but I am concerned about dirt. The tiles have a texture to them - I suppose it is to make them less slippery or maybe for looks - and the non-smooth...
