Thank you! Glad it was helpful.

Maybe you should take your own advice? You've only got 3 subscribers!! I'm not one of them and never will be. Judith is doing just fine and I don't think she will need your help, reaching her audience! Stop spamming other ppl's videos!

Thanks very much. It's really helpful to hear that - keeps me going!

This is where we got it from. I expect there are other outlets. unitylime.co.uk/shop/brand/geocell/expanded-glass-lightweight-beads/

@@ecorenovationhome this link leads to a 404 page, no product

@@feketegabor4629 Hiya- copied it again, emailed it to myself and it worked, so fingers crossed unitylime.co.uk/shop/brand/geocell/expanded-glass-lightweight-beads/

The glass beads are mixed with water and natural lime. So the beads essentially are in place of the sand.

@@ethanbeebe6193 get the word out - maybe someone can start one?

@@ecorenovationhomelisten the (US) doesn’t deserve this. The minute this opens at any state people are going to abuse it and take advantage of it. (Stealing and eating directly from the bin) . Ex. Wawa’s free air tire 🛞. For no reason people cut them off. Been to several locations with the exact same issue .

For real i would love this so so much!!!

@@racheljohnson6723 The refill shops here in the UK have been started by independents. One of our supermarkets did pilot it and I think it's still being trialed. So if you're looking for a business idea................

Thank you - that's an accolade!

Well done sorting it out! The architect who supported me writing the book made very clear that insulation without airtightness would be disappointing. Draughts get through the merest slither. Did you redo it?

There are issues with the cans, but on the basis this is one off fun activity for the Beaver Scouts, much less of a risk than walking alongside a busy road, I think.

Hiya - the joists go into the brickwork of the walls and there is a small brick wall across the middle of the room to support the joists.

@@ecorenovationhome Is there a chance that damp could rise up the bricks and into the timber?

@@kingquinn3897 Yes. To avoid that the joists sit above the damp proof course, so it blocks any rising moisture and above the air bricks to stop condensation.

@@ecorenovationhome Thanks for that. But was the damp proof put in all existing buildings when they were built or is this something that has to be added now?

@@kingquinn3897 my understanding is that a DPC was out into older houses. Often layers of slate. I know we had that (1901) We also had an injected DPC added.

Hi Matthew - yes, the same membrane is used for both. It's a breathable, airtight membrane. It will usually need to be breathable since it is primarily houses built before 1930 that have suspended floors and they were all built as breathable systems. Hope that answers?

It does thank you, I’ve seen other systems where the bottom is airtight and breathable but the top is not breathable. The reason given is to prevent moisture condensing. To me that doesn’t make sense as you’d trap in moisture and the underfloor vents should take care of any moisture. This approach seems to make more sense.

@@matthewdeakin8266 Totally agree with you. That makes no sense. Full breathability is what will stop moisture condensing.

I think it works well but there are concerns. Not so good for the environment. Need to make sure your insurance covers it. Some mortgages lenders don’t like it - so worth remembering that if you’re going to sell. How is it working?

Thank you. It is pretty special on so many levels. Really easy to use, plus it was a big attraction to my kids friends, so they always wanted to visit! And now my grandkids all love it.

Now that one would never have occurred to me but you’re quite right 😂😂

New to TH-cam! Still learning the ropes and this one got away 😂😂. Il have another go

HAHAHAHAHAH

New to TH-cam. I’ll try again😂😂

Great idea.

Underfloor heating is fine over insulation. Kingspan is not your best option. Suspended floors move and it won't move with it, so you'll end up with draughts coming through. Plus it uses toxic chemicals so not good for health in a well insulated airtight home. We discovered a product called Econna Board which went on top of the joists/ insulation. It is tongue and groove which means better for airtightness and it has grooves for the UFH pipes. No idea about the providers here, but this link will give you an idea of what I mean. www.warmup.co.uk/underfloor-heating/water/econna-joisted-floor Hope that helps. Let me know if you have more questions. You can read more about it in my book if that would be of any help amzn.to/3EOBHjM It's a lay persons summary of the whole retrofit process, so you have enough of the basics to talk sensibly with the builders (who don't know a lot more than we do!)

Well there you go - I didn’t know you would have a suspended floor in an 80’s house! We’re all learning🤣🤣. There are so many different firms if insulation now. It amazes me. Wood fibre is just one of the sustainable options. Just take a look on this site to see what’s possible unitylime.co.uk/product-category/insulation/ This site shows the formal way of doing what we did ourselves and talks about reasons for different types of insulation.
