Not sure if it's something you're now doing regularly, but I quite like this style of video. It's really informative and I'd like to see this teaching style continue :)
mate this is brilliant. reminds me of the first time i watched a matt risinger video about building science. think it was about conditioned attics. very us-focused but the explanations are on point, still watch his vids just not as many
so how does waterproofing work with a modern cavity wall with brick insulation block then no air or gap between? as google says brick itself isnt waterproof ive seen your videos about the ventholes letting moisture out but isnt this only in certan sections? what stops the insulation from becoming damp and or mold growing
Great explanation. Can you do similar demo how the roofing support beams are constructed. Would the removal of brick work affect the structural support 👍
Does anyone know if shared / party walls in semi-detached / terraced timber frame houses have any brickwork? Is the external wall cavity continuous across adjoined properties or is it split up at the boundaries with timber / brick?
I was going to call you about my 2nd floor external front and rear wall built in the 70s, from inside out its plasterboard, timber frame, felt and upvc cladding. But this winter shown how bad its insulated so was going to take the upvc off felt then pack the frame out 100mm then insulate 50mm then 50mm air gap then refelt and new upvc... would this be correct. Many thanks
Ha find a timber frame that’s straight and we need to keep a 50mm cavity so nsbc dosnt tell you to take it down. Then you come along and say the works out! Can’t win 😂
Cavity walls must NOT be bridged with insulation(insulation touching outer walls inside cavity) or else moisture will transmit from the damp outer wall through the touching bridging insulation into the inner wall ! If cavity-wall insulation is to be used , there must be a LARGE air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the OUTER WALL inside the cavity ; this includes an air space gap in-between the face of the insulation and the cavity-wall-tie drip points which are in the centre of the cavity. Ask N.V.Q. BRICKWORK teachers for PROOF of this !
This way of explaining things definitely has legs to enable channel growth👍

Thank you very much and yes it’s a series!
Agreed
Got to give it to ya, chap. Using Minecraft to explain cavity walls is very clever. Keep at it!
Thank you! There’s more on the way 😊
For anyone still wondering why the whole house doesn't need knocking down it's because the roof sits on the internal walls.
I absolutely love this medium to explain build techniques. Could you expand it to underground infrastructure, too?
Very cool idea to explain it this way
Thank you! More to come!
Great explanation Ordlando. Which wall type is the more thermally effecient?
This is great, so simple and effective you could teach a child... maybe even a winkle-spanner 😂
Thats the plan! I don't want to get really technical just basic and simple. Please share if you enjoyed the video! I want everyone to see it! 🙂
Please do a hardcore minecraft series 😂😂

This channel is so based. Easy to understand and visually pleasing.
Nice and simple explanation. Could you do one on party walls please?
Is the brick wall tied to the block wall or timber wall? If so, how do they get the connecters through the insulation?
Love this!
Thank you! Please share! 🙂
Minecraft needs to include a weep vent block.
Definitely

Nice video! For some reason I'm surprised their isn't more types of insulation.
If you do another one of these look at game rules. You can disable the day night cycle which will give you a more consistent image.

They sell plasterboard with inso attached... you lose some space internally but it solves the u value problem.
Also, you can lock the time to day with these 2 commands: /time set day, then /gamerule doDaylightCycle false
What if a window is fitted to a wall that needs to be replaced
What if the internal wall isn’t square?
Top tip: Use flint and steel to quickly burn the wool "insulation"!
So how come you can have just air between timber and brickwork, but you can't between blockwork and brickwork?
The timber panel is insulated?
@@newhomequalitycontrol Ah sorry, missed that bit the first time. Thanks!
How can you know what walls your house has?
Get a sledgehammer and start banging away 🤣😂
I'm very not sober rn. You shaking the mouse around is really weird lol
👍
AtleSt you cant make em out of plum in minecraft
The shaky camera makes me feel a bit weird
3:06
No weep vents ? 😂
Brilliant !
Thank you 😊
Holy shit he plays minecraft.

What sbout from this month 150mm cavities
I don’t believe a builder will remove a section of wall and rebuild it up cos a snagging company picked up its out of tolerance
Well it's facts it's happend many times im not sure what else to say tbh 😅

No way are you going to take down a whole flank. Only what's necessary.
It depends on the situation
Can't believe non of those walls had weep vents ... 🤡
You'd think they'd have learned their lesson to get it right first time wouldn't you. I hate being out of plumbs, I need the Vitamin D.
There's 1 issue with this wall build. NO WEEP VENT! SHOCKING!!!
Please remove the bottles of Prime. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Where’s the wall ties shag? Bad example, poor show
