You can use much thicker engineered flooring directiy over it, but it has to form a solid deck eg minimum of 18mm. Its about point pressure, and laminate relies on a solid subfloor as it needs to be fully supported.

Try and keep up will you Were on about using pex for potable. Don't go taking a Kango to your slab quite yet.

I only use the Pex for potable services if it's 'left over' from the UFH order. Some ufh loops leave long off cuts so it's ok to use it then imo as it's just too short to ever use again as an UFH loop and would otherwise be binned. On the last job I ran it as hot & cold there was around 140m2 of UFH and a lot of leftover pipe so the cost of the 15x16mn connectors soon became insignificant. Fwiw, I'd never choose to use a non standard ( 16mm ) pipe from choice as it's not going to be economical, so if designing and installing from scratch it should all be 15mm ( Hepworth ) so it's directiy compatible with the range of fittings it'll need connecting to.

Get the plasterer onboard, it's his job so get his POV. .

WRAS approval is usually a benefit as this pipe is also ok for running hot and cold ( potable / drinking quality ) water through it. . I've used it plenty of times as a robust alternative to copper when I've had the house ( renovations ) open and free reign to pull long lengths in with no joints.

The pipe is the type I use, and if that's £155 for 300m then not a bad price too Its "make an offer" too so try just taking the £14 delivery fee off .

?? Your on it ? @JSHarris blog is very informative from the ground up so maybe check some of his earlier entries and have a damn good read there first. ?

You'd be surprised what 2 guys on a big bow saw can do. All you've got to do is condemn it

The trick is NOT to be seen

Just run above the skirting and use Talon clips. They have lugs on the side to hold Talon trunking ( 10 / 15 / 22mm ) and just cut mitres. Tbh I'd just surface mount 15mm pipework and paint them, acceptable in most homes so ok for an office . Go to a few local plumbers merchants and ask for damages return radiators. I just bought 4 med /large radiators for £45. Tiny scratches / dents on side panels, hardly noticeable when fitted. ?

No more Speckled Hen for you tonight.

One Bond film too many ? ?

Neat little unit. How much was it ?

It's not how much you earn, it's what you want ( or don't want ) to spend it on.

It's a digression, but I think your logic is arse over tit with that statement. If someone lights a fire now and then youd still rather a lifetime of high and higher fuel bills Not me . I'd go passive in the wink of an eye. Then all the money your used to throwing at the energy companies can be thrown to your mortgage instead. It's a no-brained afaic. I hate the house we're in, as I'm paying to keep it warm and like @Onoff I can literally hear the meters going round whilst I continue to pump heat in to offset its draughty inefficient ways, but capital expenditure puts any sensible anti-measures in place. .

That should have got a round of applause. ?

@JSHarris My bad. I meant snorkel down. Just thought that air from the ground may be clear enough.

Might some kind of snorkel be an idea / fix? Maybe it's best to consider where you glean intake air from for the mvhr at the design stage ? This could be super problematic for some ?

Beware having big spacings, you can start getting hot / cool feel to the tiles where the cable is / isn't.

You may want to go 100w per m2 as that 150w mat may be a bit untameable.

Ian, could this be merged with the P2P thread ?

Nick, I've posted that they stay seperate as there will no doubt be a lot of information sewn into each as time goes by. For future searches and readers it's imperative that they stay focussed on the title discipline so they must stay apart. Otherwise we will have one monster thread which requires an inordinate amount of sieving to get the required subject matter. As each subject is quite different in many ways, some small, others more significant, we shouldn't merge as it will likely cause confusion and may lead to disinterest in the subject. .

Each of these threads are specific in title to a particular discipline. . The only rule here needs to be that each thread is kept from any non specific digression . We can compare the titled methods to others in each respective thread but members should know to toggle to the other threads to add any related information there, and there only. This kind of housekeeping is imperative so that each title, when searched in the future, isn't lacking any specific information which may been incorrectly inserted into a sister thread. These subjects have been made divisible as they each stand on their own merit, so the threads MUST remain segregated to keep subject matter and subsequent searches concise.
