Expansion strip 2
Phil recenty posted about an expansion strip on a new build.
Today I say this one a new build. http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/File:Es2_(2).jpg Nice white "silicone" hidden by the fall pipe - why not use a brown silicone And it looks like the person that actually fitted it used his knob for the final finish http://wiki.diyfaq.org.uk/index.php/File:Es2_(1).jpg -- Adam |

But I know that I am back there on Monday and I can do some measurements. It's a five property town house building, all are five properties are identical (2 bedrooms and IMHO not much more than a double storey garage). I believe the expansion strip was between plots 2 and 3. -- Adam |

I didn't mean that precise, just is it a house cut in two, or half a dozen terraced houses either side ... It's a five property town house building, all are five properties are identical (2 bedrooms and IMHO not much more than a double storey garage). I believe the expansion strip was between plots 2 and 3. The brick development association quote PD6697 as stating the maximum distance between expansion joints is 12m, so presumably less than 5m wide per property? |
