It's about time we got that roof on. It's all against the weather at the moment so making the most of the dry spells to get the roof sheets up and on.

The information is good, the metal corrugated roofs are really popular in OZ & NZ , I think when you see a lot of houses with it on it looks great , I remember speaking to a roofer in NZ who told how good it is and simple it is to install. It made me wonder why do we bother with tiles, our planned house build will def be using a similar method.

Having lived in tin roofed houses for the last 40+ years from a 1901 bungalow up to a house built in the last 15 years, the sound of rain is really restful. Most of the living space, and some sleeping space, has been like your living area and not having a loft space and certainly a good deal less insulation. You and your family will get used to the sound, even if you find it an intrusion initially.

Yes we agree. We are currently living in a bungalow with a conservatory so have got use to that sound. Viewing it as a comfort rather than an annoyance.

I’ve used this system on all my outbuildings, even used the pre curved sheets to make a Shepard’s hut type shed for my rude on. One thing up to mention, I had one of the roofs fail, the covering came clean off, but fair play to Accord (I assume that’s who you used?); they identified it as a failure of the mill to apply the primer to the steel roll, apparently is not unusual for them to forget!. Accord replaced the sheets FOC even after 5 years or so. 0.7mm plastisol sheets.

We've got electric underfloor heating in our dining room, laid on chipboard 'floorboards', with the thin insulation over the top and then the laminate/click flooring. It is very toasty warm and very effective - we've been running the underfloor heating for ~4 hours a day (we're on solar panels too) and it's been great at warming the whole kitchen/dining area and also the rooms above (probably shows we need more insulation). So, I would thoroughly recommend it and will definitely add it again in future houses

@TheRestorationCouple Жыл бұрын

Good to know. Any noise from the foil matting as you walk over it? That was my only remaining concern but think we will go for it.

@adamrawling9406 Жыл бұрын

I put underfloor foil heating in a 15sqm cabin. To warm the room on a cold day takes 3-4hrs realistically and it soon racks up the bill. Underfoot comfort less than that but all said and done can get the same effect from an hours heat off a 2kw heater. Rarely use it any more unfortunately but that’s from a cost perspective - if that’s not an issue it’s a nice luxury to have

@mpmatt3469 Жыл бұрын

Underfloor heating provides comfort even at lower temperatures. At this stage of your build the cost of installing underfloor is not expensive. You have the choice to add spurs so that you can add wall mounted heaters at a later date. This is the ideal opportunity to experiment.

Great video, good to hear the thought process as well. A couple points. Are you going to bend up the troughs of the roofing sheets at the apex to stop wind blown water from getting in at the apex under the capping piece? Second point. With a wood heater at one end, I would think about an air transfer system from the living area to the other end of the build in the space through the trusses. Just to move some warm air down to the other end of the build. I expect that your supply of timber will be cheaper than the electricity... :) Always plenty of options...

@TheRestorationCouple Жыл бұрын

We have infill profiles to seal. between ridge trim and sheets so that will seal that bit off. Yes, we have. allowed for a low energy fan to sit above door between living area and. bedroom hall so we could add if needed in the future. Would have been a bit over the top to duct vents to each room but should help even it out.

@seanduffy2214 Жыл бұрын

We have electric ufh in a chalet in Wales with Amtico on top. Both the ufh company and Amtico insisted upon either a thick screed, or what we went for a special wood 'dual overlay'. It adds a lot to the cost along with hassle but worth it for us not eating wall space with radiators. It is very expensive to run though. Another thing we see is it can be a struggle to get up to target temperature as the max floor temperature kicks in before the room warms up - you need to leave it on all the time rather than odd bursts throughout the day.

This is a question somewhat out of left field and not really on topic. I've noticed that your dog, like a typical puppy and farm dog, I suppose, if often quite wet and muddy (11:02). How do you deal with that? Is she now an outdoor dog? Or does she get bathed daily (I can't imagine you go for that extra work)? How do you handle the mud and the wet and the wet-dog-smell?

@mandyleeson1 Жыл бұрын

Maybe it’s because we don’t usually (right now is a climate change exception!) get much rain, we love the sound of rain on the corrugated tin roof. Probably not great to do a KZfaq vid, but very reassuring in times of drought. P.S. We fitted underfloor heating in the bathroom around 8 years ago and found the electricity bills went through the roof. Tech may have changed since of course.

My brother looked to get electric underfloor heating in one of the bedrooms in his house but found it very difficult to get a sparky to install it. Not sure of the reasons why, but there was a lot of reluctance from the tradespeople. If you do install it, I'd very much look forward to seeing the video and to hear your thoughts about the systems available and how well they work.

Great information and once again well reasoned advice. Some thoughts on UFH, I would query it’s ability to get up to temperature quickly enough for you from cold when it’s needed, plus it’s generally quite expensive to run as often it needs to be kept on to keep the temperature up. If you find an answer to this I would love to hear how it might work. On the plus side with no need for radiators it can free up wall space for you. I know infra red has been considered in at least one format as you have mentioned earlier but it could work as a supplement for UFH enabling it to run at a lower cost, especially if you are considering solar power at a later stage. 😎👍

@TheRestorationCouple Жыл бұрын

I think it will be less of an issue once the wood burner is in, we would then just use UFH for the wake up heating in the morning. Wall space is definitely a consideration. 👍

Thank you for all the info. Could I ask was there a reason you didn't counter batten in line with rafter then across that on top purlin style. This allows space for any drips to run down the membrane and not catch on the battens, but maybe that is overkill. Loving the build. Thanks

@TheRestorationCouple Жыл бұрын

It would be better to counter batten as you describe in the same way as it would on the walls but it just seemed like more timber and weight, plus hopefully no drips anyway! 😬

What smart radiators are you using? Can they be linked together? Could you post a link of what ones you’ve decided on

@pumpkinhead456 Жыл бұрын

Figure out how much heat you'll need first, then get the right sized radiators for the living room. Electric underfloor will be a liability if you decide to rent the place out in the future. By far the most sensible solution would be air con, which will provide five times the heat for the same amount of electricity.

Hey Love all your videos been a sub for a very long time. I am currently rewatching but have a question. In terms of this video did you include a vapor barrier internally on the OSB walls or did you just screw plasterboard to the OSB? As I like the idea of the wood fibre boards

@TheRestorationCouple 4 ай бұрын

No vapour barrier on the breathable walls just for the ceilings. OSB then battens then PB . Going same route with the new house build.

@stephanieellis5399 Жыл бұрын

Because the house is being built in two halves that require the ability to separate, you've taken great care in abutting the walls and the floors and the ceiling and the roof. But doesn't that still leave enough room for the elements to eventually make their way down between the buildings? Or, is there a plan for when the chassises are in their "permanent" location to put some kind of Ridge Cap?

No done at all. The walls were insulated too and therefor insulation continues up and over. Of course less moisture produced in a workshop than a house.
