[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 4806982, member: 1498"] So [USER=1136]@renewablejohn[/USER] your loft has floor & ceiling insulation? Am I right? With a 35 degree pitch I've effectively no loft space mind & I hate stuff in lofts. One of my dilemmas was the cold water tank position in one section of my project. Condensation being a major issue along with the mains cold pipe feed through to this. The tank now lives within its own compartment. The cold feed in & both feeds out are heavily insulated. On the unfinished part where I'm still on 1950's imperial plumbing the cold pipe continually drips condensation when there's a lot of water used. :confused: To get around the British door design the main entrances (one built, one still on the drawing board) are both effectively air-locks (posh name for heavily insulated porch) This works well with very little heat loss. Bench seating, UFH, boot rack & coat hooks result in an area where folk can remove outside clothing in comfort & boots/coats will be dried in reasonable time ready for the next time outside. The dogs like the floor as well! SS [/QUOTE]
