- im hoping this is the start of me being back.
I forgot how long it takes to upload and edit and im wondering why and how I did it before.
These doors are the best IMO and here's how to fit them with as little fuss as possible .
hope you enjoy. - Jak na to + styl
Liam, Its great to have the detailed guidance and you have a great back catalogue of this. But I'm sure most of us are just enjoying being out on site with you and your team and watching it a project come together.
I built my shed/summer house before I found your videos and after watching them I am kicking myself for being so impatient, great videos, really enjoy them just for the entertainment value and the knowledge gained.
Really enjoyed that Liam. Having that level of knowledge and willingness to share is incredible mate. Keep up the great work !! 💪
That was a brilliant film, thanks so much for taking the time to share the know how !!!
Absolute legend. Thanks for all the advice warts and all. Great product, great advice.
Love the warts n' all commentary Liam!
Just as it would be in real life and the explanation to the young lad as to why you do certain things answers a lot of the queries that "joe public" would also wonder about but would be too afraid to ask!!
Cheers!!
Think Davey could give Spielberg a run for his money with the camera work 😉👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Great tutorial Liam keep them coming mate
Thank you I learned so much, you are a great teacher.
Liam great video. This was by far the most informative tutorial on fitting bi-folds I have seen,well done. One thing I don’t think you mentioned the name of the lad filming with you 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Another great video Liam !
Thank you for recording this for us!!
Another brilliant video Liam
Nice work lad’s and girl 👍👍👍👍good little how too video 👍
Just fit my new garage roof using EPDM rubber. Had loads of help from your channel with roof deck preparation and installing the new roof kit! Looking to do a garden Room in the future so this CZcams channel is exactly what I need! Thanks for keeping up with this mega content mate!
Wow… looking to install a bifold in my Southern California home. The local aluminum bifold company that makes these in house is quoting $11,000. Another locks company for PVC style 8k. Checked the UK direct website for similar size 2400 British lb. Crazy. Jealous.
Awesome video btw. Very informational. We’ll done.
Class these videos. Keep up the good work
Great Job , really good attention to detal , I subscribed
sexy piece of craftmanship great job on the glass and door fitting plus jenny is looking great
Another Wonderful Job Liam and gang... Couldn`t stop laughing at the Door V Sleeper Wall lol, That would definitely be one of My tricks... So why didn`t You get Jen digging out the garden and move the wall back, I`m sure Customer would not have noticed :-) Well done Guys, Keep em coming and Keep er lit.
Love how mad you was that the osb was slightly over hanging when i was doing my joinery aprenticeship i would of loved a mentor like you. Things like that realy anoy me too 😅
Great video, I would run a circular saw along the top of the sleeper wall and do a rebate enough for doors to open
Very good job ❤
Great video
Thank you for another great video. remind Davey to measure twice and cut once
We just miterbond the endcaps on, putting the glue on the inside lip, before spraying the sill, but i like the silicone way, keeps it all water-tight, am going to pinch that way off you, lol
Liam, congratulations on the 70k subscribers!!! Expecting a series of celebratory CZcams videos of a new build soon? 😀👍
That one crept up on me👀 video soon mate, promise
Would be good to have a rough estimate cost price per build pack size, giving indication to buyers if the build pack size they are considering buying is within their budget.
Think with the prices constantly shooting up
Would be impossible but a ball park would be decent
Unfortunately there is no ball park either, a price mentioned today, wouldn’t be relevant in a week at the rate things are going. Then I’ve the issue of a potential customer saying, why am I quoted this price when you said it was this price on CZcams 🤷♂️
I was filling the vans for £80 this time last year, today I can squeeze 130 in them, all the builders merchants are increasing prices monthly, a timber pack in leeds will be around 45% more expensive in London. Too many variables to even mention cost tbh
@@thegardenroomguru when furring windows doors etc always screw the cill onto the frame before fitting . Why don’t you do that with the bifolds ?
Hi thank you , can i ask,, do you think there is any downside to internal blinds in double glazed units?
I really like your videos and the way you explain things, I really do.
Just a couple of tips to improve your videos because I think you deserve:
- change rhe microfone. When you are talking your voice is very low and it comes up and down a lot, when you use a drill is way louder because the microfone is closer to it. Just check a couple of them and see what suits you better.
- stand for the phone, it is 20£ and you leave the phone in a better position when you need help in the video or need to leave the phone on the floor, there are models who can even be grapped in a stick usefully for medium high works (the heist of your chest or so).
The last one, ask your camera to have a coffee before the videos, just teasing, he is not a movie maker, but need to be more "awake" sometimes.
Take care mate.
P.s: lovely feature the blinds, they don't get dirty but I hope they work forever because fixing them is not a easy job neither. 😉
great videos liam,how much would these doors cost in the video.
When fixing the sill to the deck are you drilling into concrete under the OSB?
I've a slightly unrelated question for you!
On one of your previous video's you install the kingspan roofing panels, then you used the metal trim panels to create the corner covers wrapping around the complete corner. My question is which bloody video is this shown on as I've watched loads and loads but can't find where the sodding thing is shown. I've installed the kingspan panels on my roof and want to give it a good finished look. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏.
Did you release the bogey wheel spring prior to toe and healing ?
Easier fix just Rebate plane to the wood that way you’ll get the clearance 😁 and save a load of work moving the sleepers back 👍
Question: In many of your builds you install opening "letterbox windows" for additional ventilation. Can I ask where you get them from? Most suppliers (including Express Bifolds) quote minimum dimensions of 500mm height. 500mm is huge for a letterbox window. Where do you source ~H300mm letterbox openers? Thanks.
Hey Liam love this vid! Q what’s the build for this with the 3m bi folds? 5m?
Yep, 5mtr that looks to be, possibly 5.5, with out watching it all mate 👍🏼
Would 450 DPC wrapped under the joist then in front of the osb and then under your bi-fold be the best thing to stop any rising damp from the patio and stop any future rotting? I take it you’ll be Wapping in breather membrane then cladding but what’s the finish detail under the bifold cill?
What about the OSB that is so close to the ground, won’t that rot over time?
Hi Liam. Just in the planning stages of a 7x4m garden room (with your build pack). For the footings, would you consider using Postcrete sacks for the M24 rods, or is this not strong enough? Postcrete is the simplest solution for me since I am building this alone(!). Thanks
When Liam did the build on his own, he explained that it isn’t really strong enough. You can buy single bags of 40kn concrete from builders merch. Good luck with your build.
What blade do you use in the saw?
Roughly how much do these cost to build start to finish
Love the videos, have you ever done a house extension with the same style ?
Could your base framing system be used for low level decking?
Yes mate, we often use it for decking
Thoroughly enjoyable watch as ever 👍🏻 Gotta ask those pencils, they rectangular shaped so they simply don't roll away?
Gr8 videos as normal do you have 2nd fix video 🙏
For internals?
What’s the cameraman’s name?
got nothing better to do for the next 104 minutes so lets find out what's what then 😁
I really want to know how you resolved the issue of the doors hitting the garden wall ? Move the entire wall, or cut and plane the sleepers ?
Customer dug out and put the sleepers in, we came back after the weekend, he’d dug out more and moved the sleepers back. He did such a good job, you could only tell because the doors opened fully
Just wondering if you are fitting the garden rooms in the Liverpool area or are you just staying local , thanks
Just local mate atm
Ok cheers , do let me know if and when you change , thanks
Is there enough space between the bottom of the OSB board and the patio? Wouldn't heavy rain make the bottom edge wet?
Totally agree way too close to the ground , seems a bit of a bodge to me . But I assume the gentleman fitting the doors had no part in that side of the job
That gentleman designs and builds the whole project, he owns the company. Think he knows what he's doing😂
What steel work do you use above the doors?
160x80x5 hollow beam mate
Were can i order the rod system from? Looking to get it started asap
get their buildpack. I got one from them and it was great, had loads more detail and specific vendors you'll need.
@@d1ffer but i dont need a material list or a guide? I just want the rod system 🤷♂️
@@zlock97 it's literally just threaded rod. Oakwood have videos on it here on YT. Or.... you could get the build pack that details exactly what you are asking (along with everything else)
I know its threaded rod 🤦♂️ amd i know its c sectiom steel... however i didmt know if theyre was a supplier that sold it all already pre drilled and cut to length
Bapps bolts mate
They do the full kit, delivery nationwide
Everyone seems to be using this flex wrap tape for windows and doors but I don’t see this company using any is it really necessary?
Fiver for a tube of silicone seal is crazy
Don’t use silicone use CT1 ..
Liam do I need to have a cill? I’m installing a single door on my build?
Preferably mate, or some other means of deflecting rain water running down the door, as it will want to seep in
You want to get yourself a gasket roller, much easier
Why don't you screw through the packers
Why wouldn’t you de-burr the cut?
Highly appreciate & thanks for taking time and sharing your skills and knowledge. A question, How did you cladd the rear of wall? I am assuming before installing the wall ?
Why couldn’t the doors be set back into the room slightly?
Cedar won’t be wide enough for the reveal , makes no difference where they are tbh, apart from our cedar won’t fit the depth of the reveal
I only fit Korniche Bi Fold Doors - they are far superior to these. Check them out!
Hi, your cill has no reinforceing in it
It’s aluminium not uPVC
@@jameswiggins3200 I know that, but as I worked in making uPVC we would buy in Aluminium bi-folds. They had reinforcing in their cills
It’s not required at all mate
@@thegardenroomguru 👍
Take an edge off the sleepers
Hi Liam I’ve dropped you a facebook message hoping you can help me with a question please
