What about using glue to fix batons on to the tanked walls?

Was just watching a video on youtube about this. Appears to be simple method however do the insulated plaster boards come with a vapour barrier? As it is a tanked basement there will be condensation, therefore a vapour barrier of some sorts will be required. Thoughts? Just read that the...

Semi Basement constructed from 325mm concrete blocks and infilled with C35 concrete and rebar. Walls have been tanked using KA Tanking Slurry. The floor has 100mm rigid insulation and a concrete slab. Wet UFH heating will be installed. Next step is to add in some insulation. Which would be...

Did you go down the route of installing the ventilator? I am doing something similar so would be good to have your thoughts on if it was worthwhile. Many thanks.

Thanks for reply. I spoke to the manufacturer of KA and after our discussion decided that SBR is not needed on the walls as they were fresh concrete blocks. I will however use SBR when using KA on the poured concrete slab floor.

Bosch Classixx Vario Perfect - WAE28166GB The machine tripped the RCD whilst running a cycle. Since then it will not start any programs. When pressing start the buttons light turns solid (as it should) but the machine does nothing else. At this point it should start drawing water in. No...

Can any one advise what the general rule is building a double storey side extension next to a highway (corner plot property). How far from the highway does the build have to be? Does this increase if it is a double storey? I already have a single storey built, thinking of adding a double...
