Thank you Rodders53 and exceedhanful - very usefull links.

Maybe I will have to cut the dado (will have to check with her highness). This is early stages at the moment. Ultimately, I want to be in a position to get a heat pump when the time comes. The boiler still should have ten years of life in it. I was experimenting with low flow temps last winter...

Thanks for your reply. I need 614 watts at a flow temp of 40C. I will have to do some calculations and find out the correction factor etc. I don't really want to go higher than 600 as there is a dado rail. 125 wide is certainly too wide. I think I saw a designer K2 rad somewhere that wasn't too...

thanks, I will look into that

Hello All I am wanting to upgrade my hallway radiator to a K2. 600 x 1600. Because of the front door, I am limited to 100mm deep including the brackets. Does such a rad exist? (I cant really go longer with a K1). Thanks in advance for any help. RG

Hello All I made the mistake of getting a thermal camera last year and now I am in full eco mode. I have a bay window with a small roof over it and you can see the heat is gushing out of the house in winter. I’m thinking, I would like to lift some tiles and shove some insulation under there...

Yes, that would be ideal but I am having trouble finding a frame to match the vertical height. The closest, I could find was the one I mentioned.

Hello all I volunteered to change my partners external front door and frame. The cill is completely rotten and the bottom of both jambs too. I am thinking it’s easier to change the whole frame and the door too as she wants a new one. The current door is standard 2032mm x 813mm. Regarding frame...

many thanks sorry for delay in reply.

Hello, many thanks. Any particular brand of foam you recommend?

Hello All We hod our loft converted some years ago. They didn’t use insulated plaster board by the stairs which is an outside wall (9” solid and rendered). We get these cold spots in condensation season where the dabs of plaster adhesive are creating bridges. Having done a bit of research, I...

so I guess if they heat up the room more quickly, they are more efficient which would be a good thing?

They are just straight panel. Some of them are double panel. No fins. Two out of the ten are bathroom towel rails.

many thanks, it will be a job in the summer for me. Just getting my research in early.

I am mid terrace.

Hello all I want to replace 5 of the 10 radiators in the house with more efficient modern ones. The five are at least 25 years old (as that’s how long we have been in the house). Can I just go for a similar physical size of type 21 or 22? I know, I will probably have to adjust the...

Just came across this thread. I have a similar problem. Did you fix it ok in the end?

dont worry, I think it is sort out now. thank you

Hello All I did have a thread about this last year but not sure if it is still 'active', hence this new post. I have a Vaillant Ecotec plus 630 and a VRC 470F Controller. The controller has a radio receiver in the boiler facia. Now I have a Sensohome controller to install with internet gateway...

Hello I finally got round to getting the new controls. Any idea how I disable the old VRC470F receiver? It's in the boiler facia and attached to the boiler control panel via the pcb. I connected the new sensohome to the ebus and it appears to work ok but I had two controls working together. I...
