The hallway is 'L' shaped, with two front doors, a PVCu outer door and a timber inner door. The inner door opens inward hinged to the right as you walk in, the door opens back to the radiator so draughts are kept to a minimum (thinking of the radiator TRV at this stage)
As you enter the hall and turn right 'L' shaped hall, the room stat is on the right hand wall, just after the bathroom door. This should protect the room stat from any draughts from the front doors when opened. But there is a towel rail radiator in the bathroom, (room stat outside the door to the left, towel rad in bathroom to the right) so I am aware of heat from this affecting and cutting off the room stat. The bathroom rad doesn't have a TRV value so is always on when the system is on, we tend to make sure the bathroom towel rad is always covered with towels to absorb the heat from this radiator.
So the room stat in the hall should not be affected by draughts from the front door, and should not be affected by the bathroom door which we keep closed most of the time. The hall radiator is on #1, the room stat in the hall 25 C, so at this time of year the heating shouldn't come on, as we have not yet had cold autumn weather heating is probably only likely to come on at night, and the temperature in the hall would never be high enough to trip the room stat off. Doors to all rooms are closed at night time which means each TRV should control heat to just the rooms they are controlling, if I am understanding correctly, if not please say.
Some radiators, one in particular, we have found come on (through the day) with TRV at #2 to #2.5 when the room temperature is 20 C or just above.
Thank you for your help.
