Need inexpensive way to manage conservatory temperature
Comments (4)We had the ceiling insulated by roofrevive (no longer trading) a few years ago and it has made a vast improvement. We too have a south facing garden and it does not get as hot anymore but is still the hottest room in the house obviously with all of the glass. We have air con too. We use the conservatory regularly 3 seasons of the year and less in summer (but much more than previously). Would recommend....See MoreHelp! our new kitchen is too cold.
Comments (49)We had a similar problem. Had two rads and two plinth heaters, but they weren't working properly and we were freezing. Had the plumber in and he adjusted them and now we're toasty in a matter of minutes. Get one plinth heater put in and plug in a small electric coal or log effect stove ( cheap enough) to bridge the gap. If your windows are thermally bridged have you thought about contacting the window installer to complain , about the problems you are having? The builder, too , as he should have ensured your extension was properly insulated. The suggestion about thermal lined curtains that pull right back during the day is spot on as it will help insulate the room and the kitchen will be warmer in the mornings to come down to. Finally the door is essential as both the hall and front door area are most likely sucking away any warmth from the kitchen area, especially if there is a stairwell. I now think if I was doing mine again I would dig up the floor and put in underfoot heating but this is way too disruptive to consider now. Best of luck....See MoreFinal Kitchen Layout - Can this be improved?
Comments (15)Daisy England - I like your suggestion for the corner. If i understand correctly if I made this change then the length of units where the hob is would remain unchanged (or would i need to find an extra 5mm?) and along the sink run I would have a 45mm unit and a further 55mm to use somehow. Just trying to imagine how this would work with the above units. I'm loathe to ask magnet to amend the plan again particularly based on Jonathan's latest comment. Jonathan - I'd feel a bit of a traitor going elsewhere especially as the designer i have been working with has been so helpful. As it stands (which is far too much) i have been quoted just over £16,500 for the kitchen and utility using in the kitchen their highest spec units ID3 and planar doors and in the utility lower spec Luna units and ready built cabinets. Worktops are the top end luxury laminate with splash backs for wall area, or if I were to have quartz it would be about £21,500. We spec'd high knowing we could make cost savings by changing cabinet types. It also includes an AEG integrated hood, Electrolux Integrated hood, Warming drawer, Full Height Fridge, Full Height Freezer, Dishwasher, 5 Ceramic Hob, Combi Microwave and 2 Single ovens. Franke sinks and taps. I have no idea if this is a reasonable price but nevertheless it needs to be cheaper. In view of this would German engineered kitchen still be an option in your opinion? The other issue (which I've only really just realised as we had been concentrating on the layout) is that their colour choice for handless is limited....See MoreI finished a room!

Comments (111)Funny you should say that ED; a friend and I just decided to do our compilation show again at Edinburgh next year. We did it for the first time in 2017. It's called Laugh begins at Forty and has five or six different comedians over 40 performing every day. I'd better get the house finished!...See More

10 years agoThey are called 'Kachelofen' which means a tiled stove. These stoves do exist until today and have actually had quite a revival in recent years due to high energy prices. They can be either rustic or modern, built-in or freestanding, some are even antique.
