I am trying to locate a wood burning stove in region of 7 kw with a left hand side outlet flue position when viewed from the front. Do they exist? Thanks in anticipation Colin

Best suggestion I can make is to make the wall as dense as possible by filling the cavity with rockwool insulation and to double up with plaster board on each side of the wall. If possible stagger the board so that the first layer joints are covered by the second board. Don't underestimate the noise transmission through joint gaps and holes for services such as pipes and wires. Make sure board goes right to floor and ceilings and fit skirting. resist temptation to fill gaps with expanding foam.It will help but it is not very dense. Far better to stuff rockwool in gaps by hand. No idea where to get rockwool in France probably Big Mat. It worked for me Good luck colin

Neigbours have it as a h...[/quote] A bit late posting to this but Jap Knotweed has red vertical stips on the stems. Mine is definetly french at least 4 generations. I am winning the war. Most effective solution I have found is to cut off the growth approx 20 - 30 cms above ground and insert a spike down the inside of the hollow stem to be low ground level breaking the internal knuckles of the stem. (like bamboo cane) remove spike then pour neat round up down the stem. It gets the stuff down to the roots more quickly rather than spraying the leaves and waiting for it to be absorbed into the plant. Obviously spay all young / new shoots when approx 50 cms high. Burn all the stuff you cut down straight away.   Colin
