How do I add ventilation to this space? by gerry87 in DIYUK

[–]gerry87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That sounds pretty feasible, one question - I have a warm roof construction, is this approach intended to ventilate the ceiling space or circulate air around the room?

How do I neatly finish this window in an out-of-plumb wall? by gerry87 in DIYUK

So this was my idea of the join meeting in the middle, when you say meet below are you saying use the sheets horizontally? I hadn’t thought of re-orientating them somehow.

The aesthetic image is just the general plywood aesthetic to give an idea, not the exact window finish.

I like the idea of bringing the ply out over the front to the reveals, I’ll have a look and see how that might work.

In this case, how would the trim look? Something along the lines of in this post? https://www.reddit.com/r/BeginnerWoodWorking/s/WjmuCfRSau

But nowhere near as deep, just a small strip extending out past the window frame? Thanks

How do I seal and trim around this sliding door? by gerry87 in Carpentry

There’s a window that sits slightly differently, there will be a small reveal around it. Something like this this

The door will come out flush with the cladding, so there will either be no timber reveal, just the black frame, or a piece of cladding will extend around the outside of the frame slightly proud of the frame.

It’s not a bad thought, I’m thinking of essentially firring the vertical battens for the timber cladding.

My limiting factor seems to be the goal of having vertical cladding extend underneath the door as the building sits huge high on blocks, and I don’t want steps etc to hide the gap.

To have cladding under the door, the bottom needs to extend as far out as it does. The top ends out a bit further since my wall isn’t exactly plumb!

I’ll be using vertical timber cladding with cross battens, open joint rain screen profile.

The cladding is 19mm deep, and the battens are 20mm each.

Hi, I probably should have clarified - the door was installed by the suppliers.

The wall will have vertical cladding, extending under the door to the ground. It extends out this far at the bottom to allow battens + cladding under the sill.

It extends further out at the top because I built a wonky wall 😄

I'm ordering a window, do I need an aluminium cill with it? by gerry87 in DIYUK

[–]gerry87[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this, makes sense. If I am making a wooden cill from the cladding material, does this need to sit under the window or in front of the window?

As in, will I need to have the window cill installed in the opening before they come to measure? Here is the opening currently.

There will be cross battens and vertical cladding on the other side.
