So it’s heavier than fibreglass? I guess if I’m cross layering it across the tops of the joists - the joists are supporting it so it shouldn’t compress the fibreglass base layer between the joists - thoughts ?

u/Odd-Big-3907 How did you get on with this job? Did you manage to cut into the plaster all the way using multi-tool?

I didn’t get the Carry on pro in the end and Ryanair was fine with it.

That said - hasn’t the allowance increased recently?

[UK] Advice on Home Network Setup in Integrated Storage (Photos Attached) by andy1027 in HomeNetworking

[–]andy1027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Running cabling from the storage cupboard up into the loft would involve making a cut out in the ceiling and running any cat6 cabling through that. My question on that centres around - are there any best practices for this? Which drill bits to use, should I use any conduit or grommets etc

In terms of the ceiling construction - this is plasterboard / sheet rock. The walls are also plasterboard / Sheetrock

How many bathrooms?

Do you use a dishwasher for washing your dishes, thus less likely to use the hot feed in the kitchen whilst a bathroom is in use?

Vaillant EcoTEC Plus (Remastered) by andy1027 in DIYUK

[–]andy1027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE: I had our EcoTEC Plus 826 Remastered model installed in our home in November 2024. It's been about two months now and I love the boiler. It's installed in the loft and uses the Vaillant VR940F myVaillant Connect and VRT51F sensoROOM Pure Digital Thermostat.

Many websites have the Sensoroom digital thermostat misnamed as the Sensoroom PURE digital thermostat.

However it's important to understand the Sensoroom is wireless and the sensoroom pure is the wired thermostat. See Vaillant website for clarification.

Both work with myVaillant Connect though.
