greenlands Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 Hi Marc ,just had a look at your thread on Chimneys/ventilation.This is a photo of the outer sliding doors on one of my lofts (Y/B )I made wedges that fit down the sides of the door cut a piece off the top of the window and fit a piece of perspex over the wedge.Note I have a mesh covered sliding door inside the loft to keep the vermin out.Hope this helps you mate. Lindsay. ps. the wedges are 8/10inch long x 2 inch thick.Click on pic.to enlarge.

Guest rodders Posted October 24, 2009 Report Posted October 24, 2009 if they work on same basis as the old cowls peep use to have on chimneys and if wasnt spinning water use to get in and as we all know water will get in any where and it dont take a lot to make a damp patch in loft :)
