Irrespctive of the conservatory floor it's really not a good idea to use laminate flooring in a conservatory. The extremes of both temp and humidity can cause havoc wifi laminate!! Your better off using engineered wood planks, the construction allows the planks to remain stable!

Im not expert but recently finished my own conservatory and looking at flooring options. The important thing is to give the floor plenty of time to dry. This all depends on the thickness of the concrete base. I have some damp coming through because I used a base that was already in place and I...

I must say that thinking back to last year when we had a fair bit of snow even though our insulation is not up to scratch the snow remained in place on the roof... If our insulation was that bad the snow would surely have thawed?? Also last night I felt the bedroom walls and they were very...

Thanks for the really good feedback!!, it would appear that the loft needs a major insulation!! It would appear that is the reason!! I think the radiators are big enough as they run the full length of the double aspect window. The loft it is!!

Yes thanks for that, I am sure its not overly insulated. If im honest its pretty thin..... Im being thick here but would it make the room that much colder with insuffient insulation?

Help and advice required! We moved into our house some five years ago and in the process completely overhauled the heating system, new boiler radiators, tank etc etc. I also made the point of changing the room thermostat to a Digistat 3 instead of the conventional scroll wheel version which...

Thanks for all your advice, much appreciated Yes I've noticed quite a price difference!! Cheers!

Thanks for the advice, I think I will paint the floor with a liquid dpm and then cover with a material before laying the floor, engineered wood maybe? I think your advice about painting up to the damp course in the dwarf wall is a good idea however how will I get on when plastering the wall...

the dwarf wall covers the concrete base completely. The concrete base is about 2 bricks higher than the patio. Rain will not fall onto the base. I have in mind painting the floor inside the conservatory with a two part epoxy liquid damp course. There are a number of product about. My concern...

Thanks that makes a lot of sense, question is how can I sort this prob? Please can anyone help Thanks

The original sun was constructed with full height single pane glass panels. The frame was screwed down onto the concrete base.

Yes there is a damp course but not sure if there is any damage somewhere, maybe a rip or tear beneath the concrete. Because the concrete base is two bricks above the ground you can see signs that a damp course layer was used. I think there is damage to the damp course under the concrete?

I have recently built a conservatory on the rear of the house. Originally there was a old sunroom which was built on a substantial concrete base. I have built the new conservatory on this base as the thickness and structure seemed more than adequate. The conservatory has a dwarf brick wall...
