Thanks, I think that’s what they are planning to do, not sure if the film will be going on the inside or outside of the glass, or if it even matters?

Exactly!! they are taking the windows out to redo them. I need some form of black boarding/cladding to put under the glass to hide the wall - any ideas what we can use? Needs to be 2-5mm and black

Yes it is closed, the diagram is just for explanation purposes.

Thankyou Woody, what’s the issue with the cavity? They will be putting it right

Thanks - it’s not me doing the work, I have a building form and yes building control are fully involved.

Yes, the opening is quite narrow so this gave the maximum amount of glass. We looked at other options but would have meant a tiny opening. Looks great inside, it’s down the side of the house so isn’t too visible.

Hi all, had a side extension built with glass panels in a pitched roof. Had the glass fitted today and they have made a pig’s ear of it. Ok from inside, but from the it outside looks awful. The glass goes over an exterior wall, they have used a white trim and plastic floor protection to close...

My boiler is a Viesmann 100-W system boiler, approx 2 years old, 26 kW IIRC (4 bed detached house). UFH control is a Heatmiser neostat-e programable roomstat. It was working ok yesterday, just takes a longer than normal to heat up, was lovely in the evening just a bit slow first thing. What's a...

Thanks Tony, I think the weather definitely affects it at present, would be good to be able to use different sensors at different times of the day so at night I could keep the slab ticking over and during the day use ambient temperature. I think with the cold weather it will be easier to...

I've got the floor temp (imbedded probe) set to 32 degrees, I haven't got a floor temp sensor but I doubt it gets above the recommended 27. Just on a hot day without heating I've had 38 degrees on the imbedded sensor! Problem may be at present its not cold enough to run during the night...

Yep, used a roll of foam supplied with the kit

100-120 mm screed, laid in January, has been heated properly so it doesn't crack etc,over 75mm celotex. The underlying issue is that the builders are idiots. Despite being clearly told to lay 80mm and having a datum line around the wall I came home to find they had laid the screed too thick...

Hello Does anyone know the max input water temp for UFH in screed?? Currently I have it set to the recommended 45 degrees, if I go higher is there any risk of damaging the screed or is it just a case of wasting energy??? Had UFH fitted in my new build conservatory, pretty sure screed is too...

Thanks

Hi I've fitted a thermostat in my conservatory for UFH. I'm using 4 core wire to send the switched live up to my airing cupboard (approx 10m away). I am only using one of the 4 wires. When the stat is calling for heat (one wire live) my test lamp is showing power in the remaining 3 wires...
