    Kingspan insulation

    Depends what is above it. If it's another room, I'd stick to plasterboard. If it's an attic or flat situation then insulated plasterboard is more effective. If you go down the board route, make sure they are fire rated. I am sceptical about the effectiveness of rolls since draughts can pass...

    S-plan+unvented cylinder with combi ?

    The problem is I use weather comp with 24/7 low temp heating so managing the differing temps is a tricky affair. The combi is an annoyance since DHW turns off the heating.

    Distilled water

    In what respect ? Distilled is pure h20, and demin has some impurities - They aren't exactly the same, but they are very close, no ?

    Bottom window protruding out

    I had a side open window with a broken bottom hinge. The bottom left section on the hinge side was sticking out by about 5mm, the top left was fine. So I thought the broken hinge was the cause of this anomaly. I purchased some hinges from screwfix and installed them but there is still a 5mm gap...

    S-plan+unvented cylinder with combi ?

    Would the wiring be the same for the combi as it is for the system boiler ?

    Distilled water

    Has anyone used distilled/mineral free water for the heating system ? It appears some boiler manufacturers recommend it, but isn't it corrosive ? Not sure if inhibitor should be used with it.

    S-plan+unvented cylinder with combi ?

    Makes sense. With the S-plan then, since the CH feed is used for both cylinder and rads, does that mean both can be heated at the same time ? is that advisable ? and how does one control the temps for hot water and the rads as there is only one control for CH.

    S-plan+unvented cylinder with combi ?

    How would that work in say the summer period where no CH is utilised ?

    S-plan+unvented cylinder with combi ?

    As the title suggests, is this do-able ? if so, how would one go about doing it. Would the DHW feed into the mains feed for the cylinder ?

    Isolate boiler

    I need to drain down the boiler (not CH) and replace the divertor valve. I've done loads of plumbing but never really isolated and drained the boiler before. I can see the CH pipes under the boiler, which direction do I need to turn their isolator values to close the circuit ? Also, how do I...

    Israel under attack

    You're making a value judgement based on ratio - Does that mean a lower ratio has less relevance ? 3000 to 330 million in the 9/11 attacks. It's a silly point. You do realise you are making my point ?

    Israel under attack

    Or the millions killed in 1947 indo-pak war, 15 million Congolese, 10 million Algerians - What's your point ? The persecution of Jews is a very unique phenomenon spanning over 2000 years, justified on theological and then racial grounds. This is the ground on which the Zionists justified the...

    Israel under attack

    I don't know why the west imposes its historical guilt onto humanity. These are western crimes, and the world should not have to shoulder this burden. The west has systemically persecuted jews for millennia because they partook in the killing of Jesus (See Jewish Deicide). The arabs on the other...

    Israel under attack

    But Israel has practically wiped Palestine off the map. Hamas wanting to do the same is unsurprising. With that said, it wasn't always like this - Hamas for example were open to the prospect of a two state soltuion only 4 years ago. These are dynamic situations and sentiments are in continual...

    Israel under attack

    Therein is the grand irony. These pro-zionist Christians are amongst the most anti-Semitic people on the planet. They do this every few hundred years. They cosy up to them, and when they see their stubbornness they return to butchering them.

    Israel under attack

    Just to clarify, it was not a Hamas attack on Israel, since there are several Palestinian political bodies in Gaza and a more accurate description would be that it was a Palestinian counter attack for the numerous killings the IDF was doing in the West bank. Also, since Hamas are ruling Gaza...

    Remove door panel when installing new door ?

    When installing new upvc doors, deglazing is necessary but what about the door panel (not sure what the technical name is) ? Should the door panel also be taken off and the door frame installed first, then the panel screwed in and glazed ? I find that if the panel is still on it makes it...

    French door bolts catching on door frame

    I've just installed the door. It fully works when door is open. Not sure what else I can do.

    French door bolts catching on door frame

    When fully engaging the door handle, the bottom bolt doesn't fully extend out (it hits the bottom aluminium frame) and so the door won't lock. Is there any way I can adjust how far out the bolt shoots ? I've already adjusted the door height and lateral positioning but it seems I still need...
