Will I have any problems if I connect a manifold to the main feed and return of a closed loop system to add 3 new radiators? I am joining the manifold quite close the the boiler. The main feed and return supplies the rest of the house 10 rads.The boiler has the btu, but will the pump be over worked?

Thanks for the replies, I dry laid a row of herring bone blocks from the side to the middle and it seemed ok and looked fine.. The side is low, the middle and the other side are level. the side that is low goes down at a very slow gradient- it's only noticeable with a level. What sort of...

Just wondering if anyone has actual experience of playing parquet/block flooring, I have a floor that is 23 foot long and one side is lower than the other side and middle by 1 inch that gradually gets lower from the centre, Is it worth all the hassle of leveling it or will the block flooring...

I have 6x2 joists with 18mm ply and travertine tiles on top, I want to put 100mm rockwool in between the joists does there need to be ventilation for the 50mm gap above? or I could put 150mm celotex and glue it to the underside of the ply? **** See also...

That's quite a leap you've made from 18mm ply to a log cabin! My intention isn't to heat the room just the tiles so its not like walking on blocks of ice or in this case travertine..

Yeah I think your right- the simpler the better,bath mat it is.

I don't think ply is much of an insulator but its obviously going to effect it some how,probably take ages to warm up.

in-between the joists..

ok thanks for the straight forward answer.

I have got a towel rail to plumb in but I noticed the tiles are quite cold to walk on. but it seems too late anyway..

I just noticed the tiles were a quite cold to walk on which made me think of UFH,as I understand it,it is supposed to go in the tile adhesive..but there are companies in the US that put it under ply or a chipboard subfloor.

Unfortunately I have just tiled a bathroom floor and didnt think about underfloor heating until now:eek: The ceiling below hasn't been plasterboarded yet so I was wondering if I could put those electric heating mats or heating wire under the floor which is 18mm wbp ply?

I put the bath and basin waste through the wall into the cavity, now the soil connection for the toilet is 60cm above the boss strap for waste water instead of 5cm..It all works well thanks for the help

Thanks for the replies, I could drill through the block wall and joist and put the drain through the cavity 400mm lower than the shower connection, The toilet is at the top of the soil pipe is that a problem? The soil pipe is on the other side of a cavity wall and exits through a flat roof to a...

I am fitting a bathroom and I'm a bit stuck on the waste pipes- I have a bath waste joined to a basin waste with 50mm pipe which goes to the soil pipe- The shower has 40mm pipe that goes through the joists and then changes to 50mm once out of the joists and tees into the bath and basin 50mm...

I have rendered a stone wall with a haired scratch coat and a smooth second coat, I was wondering if I could do a third very thin coat of just lime and water to fill in the tiny imperfections?

We have a modern oil boiler that heats the radiators, our hot water is heated by an immersion heater in the tank, along with a rayburn that is connected to the coil inside the tank. Is there any way to have the oil boiler heating the water along with the rayburn when the rayburn is off without...

I'm going to render a small building that is partially stone and block. It is slightly exposed so hydraulic lime seems right from what I have read. But I'm unsure of the consistency, is it a problem to have quite a wet mix? Also I saw on Utube that a primer coat of watery mortar was "hauled"...
