Just thought it best for a quick sanity check. One can get quite lost going down various hypothetical rabbit-holes, when it’s all you keep staring at.

She seems way too happy about ladders. Do you get much snow?

Yup. I’ve allowed to insulate the flow and returns along the lengthy landing area, to ensure any heat we introduce is going exactly where I want it to.

What areas are you using it in?

Not had great experiences with Nu heat previously either. And pricey.

Not assuming anything, simply answered your question Its not a small one iirc.

I’m working on an MBC PH project atm and we’ve had this chat. Defo going to install UFH on the FF, but I’ve spec’d it for only 70-80% of each of the room floor areas to be heated, due to the anticipated minimal heating requirements. I’ve asked MBC to make some changes to the upstairs construction to allow me to get alu spreader plates in as quickly as possible when they get up to wall plate height. Planning that to happen on a Thursday / Friday so we can ask MBC to stand down so the install of all the ff UFH can be done over a long (bat-shit crazy) weekend……I am well aware that MBC will be champing at the bit again at 07:00 on the Monday morning(!!) so I’ve got a few good people lined up to help out as it’s quite a big (400m2 iirc) house. After the slab detailing for ductwork, my next joy is going through heating and cooling / plant etc, and have planned some fan coils to blast the FF landing (full height, fully glazed gallery aspects each side) to scavenge unwanted stagnant heat away. Some powered Velux windows will step in early for a bit of passive purge, so the reliance on cooling or more specifically cooling under duress is mitigated against at the design level. Hopefully it all works at the end or I’ll have to move house. Lol.

Because upstairs are bedrooms, and each are individual…..to the individuals in them! Why would you not zone, and then rob yourself of any degree of control? The swing from north to south is considerable, and this cannot be rubber stamped from one project to another, particularly if there’s any discernible glazing featured.

Done. ✔️ Editing ability times out btw.

Get over it lol. They’re very good bits of kit for not much money tbf, if you can survive off fairly rudimentary controls. Anything complex, get yourself into the Stiebel Eltron stuff. The controls are just inarguably good for more bespoke stuff with multiples of different temp zones etc. Its annoying that someone doesn’t (appear to) do anything off the shelf (and manufacture coordinated in one instruction book) for a more middle of the road price tag.

Why not Panasonic? Cools out of the box, very good units and quiet too. Done a few of them (and some Stiebel Eltron units too) and I’m very impressed for the money tbh.

If you set off at 00:30 you'll be on site for 07:00

The crack is very likely to be installer error imho. They have likely screwed through the frame and into the masonry way too close to the corners; the effect of then overtightening these fixings just places huge force of the welded joints, forcing them to pop open. A way to prove (or disprove) this would be to remove the glazed unit and inspect where the fixings have been placed.

It can be set in behind the PB here as there's 60mm to play with to the back of the PB as above As for the adjustable lug, good point, but if you use a spirit level sat across some long plate screws you can get it spot on with near zero effort.
