I don't have hardly any on 2 of the 5 thresholds into the sunroom. The others would take at least the 4mm foam and a 6mm ply covering. This would still allow me to fit a quality 10mm insulating carpet underlay. Perhaps I could make sloping thresholds between the two levels on the 2 tight...

Concerned that the PU foam could be flattened easily, what about putting layer of 4mm or 6mm ply over the top and then insulating carpet underlay on top? Think this would be the only solution considering I don't have much height to play with to the adjoining floor levels.

Would this be a better insulator than 4mm PU foam Multifoil?

Yes, due to limited floor heights I think this is going to be my only option.

We have a sunroom which was built many years ago with a solid concrete floor and no insulation. We've always had carpet laid but as it needs renewing I was hoping that there is a product which could provide a cold barrier between the concrete and carpet underlay. I know it's a long shot but...

So you have an R2 on each of the motorised valves and a room temp sensor which switches them on and off. How do they communicate? Via a Z hub/gateway? I’m not smart system technology savvy but what is Tasmota?

Are you controlling a UFH system? But I guess it’s the same whether it’s UFH or conventional radiators. What Sonoff products are you using?

Sonoff say their external temperature sensor will control the TRV via a gateway. I assume this must be their NS control panel device. Tapo Kasa also advertise the same ability.

No, I don’t have any existing smart devices so no experience with App controls. I did scour the internet for suitable devices and read up on those you mention. Tado is too expensive at £76 a TRV, Evohome again expensive and in my mind is outdated. TP-Link is around the same price so could also...

I'd like to make my central heating smart. Tried Wiser last year but after spending about two weeks talking to their Tech Support trying to get it set up I gave up and returned. The guy eventually admitted there there are some issues with their software/firmware with IoS devices. I've now come...

I've got about 40sq mtrs of 20mm porcelain slabs to lay. What are your recommendations for the cheapest one that will do the job. Richard

I've now worked out the the rads are split into two zones, upstairs and down. The zone valves are controlled by a Heatmiser Wifi neoStats on each floor via the main Heatmister control wiring centre. Which means I'm stuck with the existing system unless I rewire the zone valves to another smart...

Having the same problem. UFH in our new extension but radiators in the original house. Anyone found a solution

So there’s no ‘boost all’ function on the app then?

Our current system consists of TRV's on all rads controlled by a wireless Drayton thermostat programmable controller. We use it in manual mode and only use programmed times when it looks like it's going to be extremely cold over night then we might switch to programmed. I've been looking at the...
