Have a look at bottom up blinds.
You can then cut the diagonal angle to fit, and have one seamless look when closed.

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Its funny how much you notice the radiant heat even with 25C flow temps. And it feels different doesnt it. No draughts. Just comfortable. The 3G will pay off and make even more of a difference, as you say. No point not to do so. Good enough is not best you can get, and best you can get is the money ...

Re: Solar PV advice

Thanks NoraBatty... Dya reckon you could get 2x lugs on each pole on yours? Are they an old model? Looks like the documentation on the newer ones are M10... https://www.bimblesolar.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=1898 https://i.postimg.cc/Q9tBHN4D/Screenshot-20250115-161738.png A...

Re: Solar PV advice

Has anyone used either of the Jean Muller keto 1 or Mersen NH1 disconnect switches? Do you know if they only except M10 lugs or can the cable just be wired in? If not it's gonna be a pain with all the different size lugs on the end of these short length 35mm² cables to connect everything. Original ...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Annoyingly hard to get out if there is an issue though so we will wait to see how the toilet fares. It will store fine in the garage in the meantime, and if neccessary can be used extremely liberally in the garden and for sowing seeds. Maybe do like JB, but cut the access hatches at the bottom of t...

Re: ASHP & triple glazing

Perlite was delivered yesterday and we set about filling the cavities for the cloakroom. We went with supercoarse 3-6mm stuff. No point having dust was the thought. Its very very dusty, and even at 3-6mm there is still alot of superfines in there. Fine layer of dust everywhere in the house this morn...

Re: Battery plant - Fire supression?

our local station is too small to have any sort of specielised other equipment like foam sprayers etc. Its the hidden batteries in the garage and the huge stack of visible firewood i have here (approx 20m3 as my main heating source is wood) that i see as the elephants in the room - as well as the n...

Re: Battery plant - Fire supression?

Anybody discussed their home installations with the local fire brigades at all? Seems sensible to understand what they would/wouldnt do/expect in the case of a fire, especially if remote with minimal equipment in the area to fight any issues. Might just do that with my local lot (although i suspect...
