With reciprocated respect, I think that the comment to which I was responding was also pretty pedantic (and not specifically relevant to the discussion) - which is why I responded.
OK. Vertical then
If so, a basic misunderstanding of the application of eu law, there was never any requirement afaik to have these regs converge
Presumably not 45mm of plaster? What else was between the surface and the brick - an 'air gap' or what?
No building regs rules about plaster, sincee eit's non-structural. The rules only apply to cutting chases into bricks/blocks etc.
Why did you bring up the 50mm.
It's was not about having convergence of national regs - indeed, had they 'converged', they would all be the same, and hence it would have made no difference which one used.
I don1t know of anyone suggesting the might converge (Other than some particular parts of (EN) for example in some of our BS numbers.
It seems certain themes come up regularly and this leads to long held differences of opinion being raised. It’s inevitable but arguably better than not having the post responded to at all. I imagine it happens in other sub forums on topics that are regulation based like central heating and gas but we are not party to those.
Yes, he was - and, as I said, it would be very unusual (I've never seen it) to have plaster 50mm (or more) thick.
That's what I guessed when I asked if theree was an 'air gap'. Mind you,45mm from surface to brick still sounds a lot,even with dot and dab.
I guess for the same reason they do in almost every on-line discussion place
It's usually the case (and I hope it was this time), that the 'digital noise' only arises after nevermore has exhausted what potentially useful contributions they can offer in response to the OP's question - and anyone is obviously free to ignore that 'noise'.
The chases were/are in solid plaster. There is no air gap- other than the bit I chopped out.
With dot and dab, there is inevitably an 'air gap' other than where thee 'dots' are - and that's what I was referring to - but I remain surprised that it was as much as 45mm from surface to brick.
Unless you're talking about surface-mounted trunking (which is pretty ugly) probably because there is no need/point in using trunking if it's going to be plastered over.
