Hall radiators in Anthracite or white?
Comments (16)Thank you again for all these thoughts. The windows used to have Roman blinds with a pair of dress curtains framing the door. I think we'll probably do the same again. As to the other wall for a rad, certainly something to think about. At the moment it's designated has having a console table as its where the phone/broadband services are. The wall above will have a wall light, mirror and the central heating stat. It's the only wall for a table. I do like the grey/pale gold colour scheme with a bit of teal. We also need to recarpet, recurtain and decorate the dining room so I'm thinking about running the same carpet as the hall into the dining room and dialling up the furnishings in the dining room too echo the hall colour scheme. We've got a very traditional light fitting in there and Victorian-style mahogany furniture which can't be changed but could be reupholstered. The jury is still out on the rads I'm afraid. I agree it would look very busy on that wall. Oddly, although it's the front door of the house it's rarely used as 99% of visitors come in the side door of the house into the utility room. What's that all about?...See MoreHow to efficiently run UFH
Comments (4)I would recommend Heatmiser controls have a look on their website. If you would like to send me an email, we can discuss further. Maybe worth having a commissioning on the existing system which is recommended by the manufacturers for yearly maintenance and will ensure that everything is running correctly and efficiently....See MoreRadiators or underfloor heating ?
Comments (10)Trying to be unbiased....lol.... Check your ceiling heights, underfloor often is a great option if you have lower ceilings and good insulation but in Victorian properties with 3m high ceilings for example, underfloor is unlikely to meet the heat output require. Also bear in mind reaction times, underfloor takes hours rather than minutes to heat up so you should have it on all the time in theory even if just on low. My parents have a Victorian house and have electric underfloor in their basement kitchen/diner, but have a small vertical radiator with hooks on for tea towels and a traditional style column radiator as well. They have the radiators on most of the time as per their central heating programming but they "turn the floor on" when they are planning on doing loads of laundry or its really cold (like today!); it does really speed up drying times. It definitely feels nice having it under the tiles They don't have it on all the time as it is expensive to run. So if you are doing the whole house and decide to go with underfloor, I would definitely try and go for the central heating underfloor as the running costs would be very expensive if electric....See MoreEngineered wood floor floating or glued with wet UFH
Comments (0)Any advice on our flooring dilemma, do we glue or float? We are having 150mm celotex with 60mm screed over wet underfloor heating pipes, throughout our ground floor. The traditional method appears to be engineered wood glued directly onto the screed, but several suppliers have recommended a floating floor using a special UFA compatible underlay with a 0.3 tog value. Has anyone got any experience of the performance of UFH using this special underlay and floating engineered floor combination? Many thanks Nicky...See MoreE D
