Any comments on 6mm Diall fibreboard?

Still no comments re steel floor. No experience?

I have read yet another web page which says that a 10-15mm gap must be left between rooms and hall. I am too nervous not to leave a gap in case of creaking etc problems. Any comments on this?

I have decided to use 6mm Diall fibreboard. The main reason being that the engineered wood floor has to butt up to a porcelain tiled floor. The tiled floor will be about 18.5mm high, ie 8.5mm tile over 6mm ply with about 4mm adhesive. The engineered wood is 11mm plus 6mm fibreboard underlay...

Have changed my mind about the 3mm underlay. I have decided to use 6mm Diall fibreboard. Anyone laid over a steel floor before?

Question 1. I am about to lay an engineered oak floor. I have read some manufacturer's instructions where it says that gaps and thresholds should be used between rooms. However, I would like an uninterrupted run between lounge and hall as well as hall and bedroom. When I thumb through the...

This is a top floor flat. Which is the best underlay for a new chipboard floor? I am thinking of 3mm acoustic underlay without a vapour barrier. What do you recommend? Any particular brand?

This is a new build flat and the stairs up to the flat and vestibule floor of the flat are 100% steel for fire escape purposes. I want to lay engineered wood over the steel floor in the vestibule. The vestibule is on the top floor. As this is a floating floor should it simply be laid...

I personally installed a new kitchen which required 2 new circuits for re-positioned oven and microwave at the opposite side of the room, with additional sockets for dishwasher etc. The work was done by an experienced but unregistered Polish electrician. He was supposed to be buying a new...

Many thanks again

Good news Schvink and Tony, your advice has fixed the problem. Once again thanks for your help. I had been wrestling with it for about a week. Now that the problem has been fixed could you please assist with 3 supplementary questions? After draining down the system to fix the faulty...

Tony. thanks for your help. Yes as they are so small they look like manual air vents. One is knurled and the other has a slotted head. Would air in the coil cause the problem I have been describing and if so would opening these manual air vents bleed the coil and cure the problem? I...

Thanks for trying to help. The primary flow and primary return on top of the Tribune Premier are each Teed off vertically, and end in small knurled cap/valve? They are both a little gunged up. As I said there is no water dripping in the tundish until I open both relief valves to test that...

I am coming at this again because thus far no diagnosis. I have an unvented system powered by Ideal Classic FF250. The hot water tank is a Tribune Premier. When the pump is running there is a constant dripping and frequent significant continuous running water sound from inside the tank...

Thanks Tony, Your comments have put the final nail in the coffin of making this flat purchase. It is a nice flat, but I am not prepared to pay that sort of money, which will probably increase with rising energy costs. There were other negatives in that it had a flat roof and the master...

Do you have a reference for this where I can read through it?

Thanks for your considered reply. It is a property I am interested in buying. As far as I am aware there is no possibility of gas, and the Electramate is situated in the centre of the flat. I am used to a relatively economical gas combination boiler and would not want to take on the...

No gas and flu not possible

Thanks for that web site.

What gauge of tinfoil? :P
