For insulation in the floor they have specified a Celotex system with Marmox blocks in the interior masonry to stop the cold bridging. I said i would give it some thought but in the back of my mind I felt that there had to be a smarter solution. After some research, I found this Tetris system, www.cellecta.co.uk/cellecta-brands/tetris-structural-floor-beam-block-flooring-systm/ that looks far easier to lay, you can walk on it and attach the UF heating direct before screeding.

Has anyone had experience of Tetris or maybe can suggest a better alternative?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139783#Comment_139783 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139783#Comment_139783 Sat, 17 Mar 2012 12:09:40 +0000 borpin https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139858#Comment_139858 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139858#Comment_139858 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 07:52:30 +0000 Pugliese Cellecta (makers of Tetris) are at Ecobuild, so will go and have a chat when I visit next Wednesday.

Borpin - Did you get as far as finding out the cost of Cube6?]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139861#Comment_139861 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139861#Comment_139861 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 09:07:51 +0000 Timber
edit- just looked at the drawing that shows timber frame. You need to consider upstands for internal and external load bearing walls.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139898#Comment_139898 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139898#Comment_139898 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 15:51:05 +0000 borpin Posted By: PuglieseBorpin - Did you get as far as finding out the cost of Cube6?No as it was a non starter.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139945#Comment_139945 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8811&Focus=139945#Comment_139945 Sun, 18 Mar 2012 20:42:37 +0000 DarylP
Cube6 came in at around £7k for 156m2 at 0.1 W/m2k, if that is any good or not I don't know?

Our Groundworkers won't shut up about how brilliant it is and plan to recommend it on to other clients.

The positives are that it is very light and easy to handle, can be cut with a handsaw and unlike all the other B & B insulated floors, you can walk on it. All of these factors have sped up this part of the build.

Using the 160mm FF (foil faced) we are expecting performance to be around 0.12 W/m2k.

The only down side was that when the guys stopped for lunch, they sat on the Tetris that they had laid, but had to move as their bums got too hot!

I also see that the House Builder National awards have just nominated Tetris as one of the final ten products to have made it through to the final for 'Best Product of 2012', so I guess we will be seeing more of it in the future.

I am looking at Tetris as a retrofit when we rip out our suspended timber floor next spring and am interested in his experience now the honeymoon period has worn off. What problems me might have encountered with it since, whether he still thinks it's the bees knees.
