Gone West

If you didn't want the cost of installing a complete system and you didn't like the look of on roof panels and it was only being done to improve the SAP rating.

Don't know how feasible this is, but in this situation has anyone just fitted a couple of panels temporarily to get the SAP rating and then had them removed. Does anybody check that they are connected. Relatively easy to fit if you have a single storey extension roof.

We have south facing triple glazed sliding doors and decided not to have solar control glazing. We are happy with them as they do provide solar gain in the winter and the sun doesn't penetrate very far into the room in the summer. We could easily build a brise soleil if it caused a problem.

It's a pitched roof.

Yes we have Schneider switches and in the kitchen we have them engraved.

It's a Fakro which can be opened.

I've played around with FindMyShadow which is quite good for basic, when the sun would be hitting the glazing. I wanted minimal solar gain through my bathroom roof window so asked for the best glazing for reducing solar gain without cutting out too much light. The g-value of 0.32 with triple glazing seems a good compromise. https://findmyshadow.com/

I watched my mates house having a silicone DPC injected back in the 70s. It wasn't ' a bloke with a mastic gun', it was a compressor pumping the liquid into the bricks under considerable pressure for quite some time. My mate didn't have a damp problem afterwards but he did a lot of work on the house and it might have been something else that solved the problem. In a Victorian cavity wall house I bought back in the 90s there was damp on the internal wall for about 0.5m up from the floor. The reason was the soil level was above the slate DPC. I lowered the soil level and the problem disappeared. If the water hadn't seeped up the bricks how did the wall get wet above the soil level? Not being awkward, just my observations.

Not that bright really. One used to come and try to attack it's reflection in one of the upstairs windows when I was building our house. The windowsill had flecks of blood all over it every morning. In the end I had to pin strings across between the reveals so it couldn't land on the sill. Only happened on one particular window.

No that was Waxoyl.

Like it. Have you had any ducks walking up the ramp yet and if so does it tip up a bit.

wot like 'Thermal Mass' whoops.

I've already tried that.

Can't you plumb the waste rigid with a longer telescopic U bend?

Four years ago we paid :- 6 * 2.5m x 150mm £369 13 * 2.5m x 100mm £550 Including VAT and delivery.

It's the rate at which heat is lost through a material. It's difficult to model accurately and there are endless constructions to reduce the effects. The effects are more pronounced where there can be a build up of heat on the outer surface such as on the walls of a well sheltered house. Where we are, near the coast in an open area, the effects are non existent because when the weather is hot there is always a sea breeze. https://www.greenspec.co.uk/building-design/decrement-delay/

We used EverEdge Halestem for edging our driveway, paths and lawn. There are different sizes for different applications. https://www.everedge.co.uk/product/halestem/

Let the radiator try to get hot on the first 1/4 turn and see if the hissing stops when it's hot. There are additives that can be added to CH systems to stop noise.

From what I read years ago it works, but only well, on a large scale.

So increasing the heat output by making it a triple panel would increase the heat going into the room by 50%. Many years ago my parents lived in a very old solid walled house and it was very warm because they had radiators that were large enough to keep it warm, around 22C, with an LPG boiler. Your ASHP will deliver much cooler water to your radiators so your radiators should be proportionately larger.

Is it a single, double or triple panel and is it a convector radiator ie does it have fins?

Oh no he won't.

The panel may be the largest you can fit in the room but you can buy triple or even quadruple panel radiators so I would be surprised if they were the largest heat output radiators around.

What you're saying when you say "it's just the rooms that are unbalanced" means the radiator is too small for the room.

So is the radiator in that bedroom consistantly the same temperature as the other radiators and it is the room temperature which varies.
