The reason i ask is because when i turn on a hotwater tap upstairs the pressure is not anywhere near the pressure of the downstairs hot water tap. If i added an extra rad are you saying it could effect the pressure of the upstairs hot taps even more.Thanks

Hi, When you say power do you mean to heat the hot water or pressure?

Hi, I have calculated the Btu for each radiator and added them together. This gives me a total Btu of 28,252 Btu/h. From what i can tell the output of my Worcester 24CDI combi boiler is 81,900 Btu/h, which seems to be giving me a hell of a lot of extra capacity. :?:

Thanks to Oilman and Ollski for your help. Much apreciated.

Hi, It is 28mm from the boiler to under the floor upstairs. It then comes down into the back living room and to a rad in 24mm then goes to the second rad in 22mm. I want to fit a small rad in the kitchen which is on the other side of the wall to the rad that is fed with 24mm.

Hi, How do i find the btu of the radiators that were installed when the system was fitted??

Hi, I have a Worcester combi 24CDI boiler with a shower and 9 radiators connected to it. What i would like to know is, how many radiators can this type of boiler take, as I would like to add an extra small 18in wide radiator in the kitchen to this system. Thanks.

Having given the patch a coat of emulsion the other day, i gave it a coat of Pollyriple this morning. It seems to have taken ok. All i can think of is that when i originally coated the whole ceiling with watered down emulsion i must have mist a couple of places. The only problem now is that you...

I have given the patches another coat of emulsion. I thought about unibond, but the adviser at Polycell advised against using this. I don`t know what to do??? As i have given it another coat of emulsion i will try pollyriple again, if it happens again i think i will give uni-bond a go.Thanks :?

I left the filler for about seven days before applying the polyriple. I have given the patches another coat of imulsion. I will leave this for a couple of days and then try the polyriple again, and cross my fingers. :oops:

What a disaster. I painted the plaster board (and also painted over the filler i had used on the joints), with watered down emulsion. Two days later i gave the ceiling a coat of polyriple with a roller. It looked good, apart for three patches were the polyriple has shrunk and blistered. This has...

I totaly agree with you, if you can afford it it is always best to have it skimed. However if i was to decide on using a textured paint. Would i have to prime the board with anything before painting it or not. Given that i have used tapered edge boards which can be used for painting or papering...

So if i was going to use artex or textured pain would i still have to seal it.

What would i use to seal it?? As to why paper it well, this is my first attempt at renewing a ceiling and although i have made sure the tapered joints look good i have a couple of joints that are made by having to butt two square ends together. I taped and filled them making sure i feathered the...

Hi, OK can I just clarify something. I have just re-newed a bedroom ceiling with tapered (cream) plasterboard. I have filled and taped all the joints and sanded them down. Can I paper directly onto this now or is it best to give it all a coat of, say emulsion paint before papering. Thanks.
