I think another member made a good suggestion. When it arrives lay it flat, outside, and level it by whatever means. Then run water over it to see if its all free running to the drain and doesn't pool at the corners / other.

Could you elaborate on that a bit please J? Do you mean 2 ducts joined into a reducer, say 2x 75mm ( cant remember the common size, maybe 65 / 63mm? ) into 1x 150mm for a single point double capacity terminal? Im looking at a proposal putting 2x single extracts into a reasonably sized utility ( beefing up to remove a bit more heated air generated from all the white goods that will reside there ), plus the plant room would be in that room too, eg a door into the utility. So the thought is that one may struggle, so put two in, at opposite ends. Outside the utility entrance door there will be a cloakroom WC, so an extract in there too. The utility and cloak doors are linked to a tiny sealed lobby, the seal formed by a third door to the kitchen, so next thought is to increase the single inlet in that lobby to a larger single inlet to match the 3x local extracts, doubling up 2x 75mm ducts into one 150mm. Any issues with a 150mm inlet servicing those 3x 75mm extracts in close proximity? Also; Is there any scope to put in some kitchen inlets at low level, even though a typical kitchen 'room' should only have extracts? It'll be an open-plan room, with fresh inlets over the dining / living space just off the kitchen, so a myriad of difficulties to overcome in order to get the right air shifting in the right directions in the right amounts

Ahhh, the old outfit in an aerosol can. "Make it so, number 2" . Tres bien. -
Just down the road from me. Used to live there. Less than a mile from my house there's a load of underwater canals which were apparently used for mining that have caused mid-terrace houses to just drop and fall to ruins whilst the ones to the left and right are still up and intact. I doubt if their mortgage companies are too respondent to lending on the equity

Benefit or necessity? Check with the manufacturers first to see if their panels need that for warranty etc.

Your supposed to ask first. Grrrrrrrrrr. At this stage id only have bought the manifolds to connect up. Keep it clean and return it asap. -
Stone resin is the one to go for. As long as its not composite coating / foam centre then your good to go.

You may struggle with that blending valve then tbh, , as it'll not drop down as well as a TRV / capillary probe type mixer. The temp setting will say it'll drop down low, but youll have nowt for the return side to suck in to cool it. If you can change it whilst its new and clean then I would. Dont forget room for your buffer. -

I think judging by the fact theres a bare board over studs and no insulation, that its just so he can mock the ufh up and drop the screed in
