    absolutely must be done to come anywhere near reaching minimum building regulation standard of 7 m3/m2 blower door test result.

    thanks for the advice , is it also a nightmare to fit rads, kitchen units ect after slabs are fitted or would u cut the slab out in these spots?

    no definitely wouldnt cut the slabs for kitchen units.

    its no problem fixing, use stronger longer screws.

    obviously electric chasing should be done in the blockwork, skimmed over, and the fittings cut from slabs.

    What manufacturer? The insulated slab manufacturer? You hardly expect them to consider anything behond their own product? What is your buildings expected air-tightness?

    You must certainly shouldn't be using a public forum as a replacement for professional services.

    This is the last I'll post in response to any of your posts.

    So you are building a house and have no idea if what you are building will comply with building regs (i.e. the law) not to mention whether you will be comfortable in your new home. :( Good luck with that.
