Hi All I am installing a shower tray and pivot door inside an alcove that is constructed from three stud walls. I did this once already but had to rip the whole lot out recently as a result of various leaks that occurred. It lasted twelve years so I don't think it was a bad result for a first...

Interesting concept, I find myself wondering how to seal the gap between the sheets though? I think I will try and find out what the correct calculations are for this sort of thing and try and confirm for certain whether the sealed gaps in the panels will be of benefit, I should also be able to...

Well I came to my conclusion on the subject after reading this http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/thermal-conductivity-d_429.html which states that thermal conductivity of atmospheric air is better than polystyrene but also states that a vacuum has a thermal conductivity of 0W/(m k). I originally...

I have already tried two electric convection heaters (2000kW each) and two fan heaters (also 2000kW) running simultaneously but this only just got up to 6 degrees c (I measured the temp). Will stick with the heaters i already have (one or all) for now. Want to avoid gas heating to minimise water...
