Many thanks :lol:
So what I am doing is this:
1. Placing plastic sheeting on the floor
2. Plywood, 18mm treated. Have been recommended to seal the gaps between the ply and walls with a caulk?
3. Insulation boards, 10mm
4. Depron insulation, 6mm
5. Underfloor heating matt - super thin...
should i put some sort of membrane on top of the plywood but under the wooden floor?
I have read in places that this is a bad idea as the floor should be allowed to breathe, andthe sheet may create condnesation...?
Hi
I am planning on installing an engineered floor in my ground floor living room. The subfloor is of suspended wood construction, with wood jiost that i will cover in ply. There is a 3 feet void underneath, onto rough earth.
It is a little damp underneath and as part of the installation i...
the thing is that I can have hot water and not heating....
the thermostat does seem to have some sort of effect on the programmer (which is separate from the boiler), in that the heating will not come on unless the thermostat is on high enough. It just won't turn off properly, without the...
I live in a victorian house and one of the bedrooms has quite a slope in it due to historical settling of the walls. The floor is made of original floorbaords with wooden joists underneath. It is on the top floor of a three storey house with only the attic above the room.
Initial research...
In answer to the above - The programmer is a honeywell, don't know the model number. Can look tonight. Not sure what you mean by the other questions. There is a separate hot water tank for the hot water with a separate gravity fed heating system. Don't know what a diverter valve or cylinder stat...
That sounds like a plausible explanation...thank you.
I managed to get some more information last night so see what you think of this:
I went to work yesterday and in the morning turned the heating off manually by physically sliding the switch on the programmer to off. (I have a sliding...
no I checked that...pressing the override button makes the red light go on and off on the progammer but does not seem to affect the heating..
Will try your suggestion and report back..thanks :lol:
It is a gravity fed system with the boiler in the kitchen (ground floor) and a hot water tank in the bathroom (1st floor). There is a thermostat in the hallway on the ground floor and a panel in the kitchen that you can (or should be able to) control the timing of the heating with and turn the...
Hello experts...
My thermostat is at the lowest setting (10 degress) but the heating is on continuously. The boiler is set to automatic so it should run off the thermostat. All other settings work fine (eg the timer times the heating properly and it turns on and off fine..), The thermostat...
Looking for a bit of advice. I am in the process of replacing my existing ceiling lights with multiple recessed halogens. I live in a victorian house, so the lights are recessed into the ceiling voids, made up of plasterboard and wooden joists (quite old and messy with debris around). So far I...
