Do I need a Louvre door.

[Moggaman]

Hi. I have my plant room under my stairs . It’s a small room approx 2m x 1.5m which stores the air to water unit, the MVHR Unit and also the manifold for my UFH pipes run to there. There is no vent as part of the mvhr system in there . The guy who made my stairs said that it shouldn’t get too warm in there cause it can cause the stairs to expand/contract !!?. I presume this room will be warm cause of the UFH pipes running back to the manifold and also the UFH pipes in the slab. There is no stat in this room so it is governed by the hall stat..The stairs is standard red deal and will be carpeted.

QUESTION: Do I need to get bespoke Louvre doors to allow more airflow in the room or just put in a standard door…? Opinions appreciated.

Most likely the heat will be similar to an airing cupboard.  You could insulate and box in the manifold and any of the pipes.  We have Louvre doors on our airing cupboard, where the UFH manifold lives.

 

If you want Louvre doors custom made, we used these for the ones we have.  Good service, doors didn't even need painting.
