RF, Just to note, i have to use the same sort of laser thermometers in my job. We find they read most accurate if reading a 'black surface' We apply a 1" square of black duct tape to anything we need to take temp of. :D

reason you cant find a answer is because what you want to do is not a recommended way of installing hardboard. Also Hardboard is a very budget way of preparing a subfloor that is only any good for floating floorcoverings. Tell me more why you want to do this and maybe we can suggest a...

hi everyone. I have had a look at a socket and i cant find a make. It has all the BS numbers etc inside but no make. I 'think' they may be B&Q sockets as i recall the sparky saying he purchased a load of CU units and sockets from B&Q at a great price. Anyway, some of the sockets are...

[/url] Hi, Thats the one. I didnt touch the pins on purpose. It had just been unplugged and i went to move it grabbing the plug ! Ye, i also think its crap. You seem to get a lot more heat out of a normal domestic fan heater. However if its using 3kw of heating power then i pressume...

just to answer a few questions. 1- I have checked the tightness of the grub screws in the socket (was my first thought) 2- There is 4 heaters in total. 2 of one make and 2 of another. (every heater sends the plug hot) 3- No matter which socket i plug them into the plugs get hot...

would be worth me swapping one of the sockets with a mk socket to see if this eliminates the problem? im guessing the flex is getting warm due to heat traveling down the flex from the socket?

The plugs on the heaters are molded type. The flex seems pretty heavy duty. defo bigger than 1.5mm. The actually sockets are brand new but i dont know who makes them. The heaters are also brand new but of two different brands. They are honeywell and clarke heaters. I dont want...

Hi, we are running some 3kw heaters. All are brand new and plugged into plugs that are all on separate ring mains. (new rewire and i know what sections of the building are on what ring) Every one of the plugs are getting very hot. The outside of the plugs are getting very warm but...

screw down a batten to work off. When you have got to the other side then remove the batten and install the last row. You will also find it easy to centralize your cuts both sides.

a surface dpm as in a epoxy etc should go on the subfloor and then the compound on top. However, it can be applied to the surface of the compound if it is latex or acrylic based with a 25+ nm strength along with correct primer etc used. Have you done it right? dont know¬! I dont know the...

floating solids is a big no. Solids move around a lot more than a engineered. As a example- for ever 1%mc change the face of a solid will move 0.25%. So if we had a 4% MC change the solid wood will now expand by 1% of its face size. Lets take a 100mm wide product. If we had a 4%mc...

Mac, Anhydrite is a pain in the bum. It is fairly new in U.K. It is used over underfloor heating as it 'flows' so minimizes voids. Due to this it can be laid thinner. It is also much faster to put down as its pump applied and almost self leveling. That is the + points ! The negatives...

as your fitting a solid i will presume you are fitting the correct way which is to glue it down? There are only a couple of latex smoothing compounds that you can bond to. You need a 25nm strength compound and above. Most latex products are around 6-16 nm so no where near suitable...

Hello ???? Mods i replied last night to the op but me post is gone? When deleting posts you should have the decadency to tell us users why? Anyway, as my reply seems lost. Me answer was NO "sorry im not interested in quoting for you. I only do bespoke work. We could possibly look...

where has my post gone? Mods?

yep. Your carpet seems VERY thin tho. A good felt back will be 5mm thick before they actually attach the felt to the carpet

quarry tiles need to come up, dig down a massive 7cm or so and install DPM, insulation, screed. Really is not a big job and for the size you quote it will be done in 1 day? Are you really sure you want to float a solid on underlay? Floating floors became fashion for fake wood- like...

i would speak to a company called Mapei. They make screeds and repair compounds etc. They have a product called 'eco rip' or something like that . its a epoxy you poor down cracks and it bonds the concrete back together. However i would speak to mapei tech people and seek there advice.
