The 50mm insulated slab is some job for heat tho. Will do it in my house when building

See recently using a 6" pumped cavity, supposed to be better job

Would rather 150mm cavity with 100mm insulation and then 50mm internal board too.

And they're going 9" in some houses with quinn lite blocks up to floor level and as a cavity closer or doing a ring beam as a cavity closer using that compressed green insulation to avoid thermal bridging .
This country is gone ape ****e on what some are spending on airtightness and u values that would smother you

More thermal mass in the wider insulated cavity and inner leaf without internal cosy board they say .

For the external insulation we use bigger plastic version of the steel lads you have there because we have only insulation to screw to .
They are about 65mm long and the face is about 30mm so whatever you're screwing on has a solid base behind it and it doesn't sink into the wall . Very strong job considering they are just into insulation board

I dont agree with pumping the walls , Causes thermal bridging in my opinion

Thermal bridging is caused by a bridge from outside to inside with the same or similar material. You have two concrete blocks with extremely high thermal conductivity and the bead with an extremely low thermal conductivity therfore no thermal bridge

We will have better insulated houses than the Scandinavians shortly and warmer the winters are getting !

New regs are a joke. There will be no oil or gas in new houses in a few yrs. All heat pumps.

Warmer air tight houses without proper ventilation. Not healthy.

I'm all for having no drafts and a well insulated comfortable house but what's being spent on heat retrieval units , heat pumps ,airtightness and all the rest is putting fair expense on a house . Better off with a Stanley superstar and show the wife how to split timber !

Isn't the number of children with asthma increasing being blamed on a lack of fresh air in moden houses which are too well insulated.

We were doing a blowdoor test awhile back and the digger driver reckoned they would be poisoned when the house was finished . "You could drag a calf under the gap in our back door growing up and the 9 of us were never sick like the kids nowadays " !

You can never be too well insulated but poorly ventilated is the problem. Heat recovery a must if ya have well insulated airtight house. I also like bullocks idea!!!!!

Over paranoid parents, pumping their children full of sh*te with the first sign of sniffles. Dragging them to mydoc's, causality etc. Not helping an already stressed health system.

There's a lot of asthma on one side of the family- All of my cousins had to have inhalers growing up, bar my brother & I. Sure we used to have ice forming on the inside of the windows in winter, only solid fuel for heating until we were teenagers. Firmly believe it was due to that, plus getting covered in muck and shíte every evening of the week.

I also agree with AP (:eek:), the problem is the parents there, how many do you see/hear in waiting rooms looking for tablets to get rid of the cold or flu. I'm always confused at those, do they not know that they can't take anything for colds

Nekarsulm

I believe (don't ask me for documented proof) that the almost total use of synthetic carpets and mattresses and bedding in childrens rooms contributes as well.
vapours and fumes from the chemicals used in the manufacture of such materials would be best avoided.

Bullock, I saw on another thread that you had a sore leg. Hope it gets better soon.:D:D

it will be worse now with the free medcial care for kids under 6, also do these parents not know by bringing their darlings to doctors waiting room they will probably pick up more bugs than they went in with

Have 5 children here rarely ever sick always out.
one of the twins broke his arm last week playing soccer has had to have the plaster cast replaced 3 times so far. Got given out to severely in the hospital yesterday by a huge fat nurse for not stopping him from being so active. He went to the pitch Sunday after the game and broke the cast hurling. We have being in the hospital every summer for 5 yrs now with fractures and breaks
