Do you know why not? Two panes of glass with a gap in the middle, what else is going on with double glazing?

Ah yes that would suck.

Hi, so we have these original sash single pain glazed windows. They feel cold and let in a lot of noise so I've been thinking (usually dangerous). What if i add another single pane behind the original pane wouldn't that be like a cheap man's double glazed window? At the moment there is 22mm of...

Ok that's a good idea. Down lights are 240v.

I've attached some photos of the components. IKEA lights are run through a transformer and all lights are switched via a pir. Current main ceiling lights are led down lights.

Hi so I just added some IKEA under cupboard lights to my kitchen and when they are connected I hear a buzzing now.not a serious buzzing just one of those annoying little ones. Any ideas what can cause this, are the IKEA lights faulty?

hi there, just trying to find a solution for a smallish kitchen in my flat conversion. Does anyone know if its possible to get a bi fold glazed fire door? if not could a glazed fire door be cut in half to create a bi-fold door? Also do all these internal fire doors need self-closing mechs...

Hi, just about to embark on fitting my new floor to 1st for room. The existing floor is pine timber nailed to timber joists. I'm putting 9mm plywood screwed down into this, then 4mm sound insulation roll. Then the new floor boards on top. The floor boards are click fitment. My question is...

yeah they look pretty good, think I'll grab a set of those. those are the only tests I use any way.

you have shares in that company ;)

a new one is like 5 quid I'm thinking I'll just order one, I replaced the battery in this one as I left it on Ohms testing, the battery for a fiver! could have a got a new meter with battery for that! :)

so turning it on to 600 it counts down from over a 1000 to around 20 then settled around 10.connecting the prongs together or on my finger doesn't do anything significant. just bounces around 4 EDIT: VDC seems to look ok, crossing the wire shows an immediate 0

will have to give that a go tomorrow. if that shows something would that indicate a fault?

I really don't want to believe that, my alternate test is a old fm radio, that seems to detect voltage ok :)

to see if the circuit is on

humm. no volt. does there need to be a load on a circuit to get a reading?

same shows a 1. I'm measuring straight into a plug socket, red wire to live wire black wire to neutral. this shows a better picture of the device, I am using the bottom and next hole up, not the top one...

hi there, I have a multimeter, albeit a cheap one, it works fine for the usual Ohms test, my most frequent use. however I wanted to check for live circuits recently and so I turned the dial to the V with the squiggle and set to 600 stuck the pins across the wires and it just shows a 1 in the...

I want to avoid the Evohome as its appears to be a simple but expensive solution. and as my place is very long I think RF will be an issue.

Yeah thats going to be ok, well not ideal but I will put in some inspection hatches. thanks for your info so far. As I already have a wireless thermostat, do I just need to buy the valves and another wireless thermostat. I'm thinking the clever wiring all happens from the boiler and wireless...
