Thanks for the reply - but would that work well? I would guess that the underfloor heated part of the house would heat up fastest, and then would need to be shut off while the radiator part is still heating up? In which case, I'd really want some sort of thermostatic control on the underfloor heatin...

Any idea if its possible to do it without the motorised valve? I'm not keen on them - one extra point to fail. Thermostatic valves maybe?

Combined radiator and underfloor heating

Hi, Can anyone give advice about whether it is possible to have a mixed radiator and underfloor heating (hot water) powered from the same boiler? ie have some rooms that use radiators, and other rooms that have underfloor heating?

damp proof membrane position

Hi, I'm about to put a stud wall, and a raised wooden floor onto an existing concrete floor. What I was thinking was to put down a damp proof membrane about 1 brick wide, put a single layer of brick on this, and then put the stud wall/floor boards on this.

I figured that building a breeze block wall inside with a cavity might not be a good idea, as the breeze block weight may crack the concrete floor. So, I wa...
