Hi…

The pipes under the tiles are not insulated when fitted. This under stairs area is becoming sauna when the heating is on.

I insulated the pipes as much as I could to prevent heating this space. I don’t know how to insulate the horizontal bars under the actuators and the flow red stuff.

This will not solve the problem of the tiles here becoming hot so I am thinking of laying a plywood board and leave some gap near the walls to prevent stressing the tiles and pushing them to crack.

But for the pipes… is this safe for the manifold to run like this? Any other tips are most welcome.

Hi.. This under stairs area is becoming like an oven when the UFH is running.

The flow and return pipes are coming from the right handside and pop up here.

The air here is very warm and the tiles are hot as well.

Can I insulate these two copper pipes and the white ones as well? What kind of insulation should I buy? what else can insulate without causing problems?

Can I add an insulation board on the floor to block the heat? or will it cause the tiles crack because heat has no place to escape?

Any advice will be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi...Rear of my house is similar to this in the photo. I have this camera: DS-2CD2347G3-LI2UY

The camera is placed where the green circle is at height of around 3.5m it is on the wall as no soffit available.

While I can see about 6 meters into the garden, I have a significant blind spot (the red rectangle) directly below the camera where the back door is located.

When I try to rotate the camera downward to catch the door, the horizon becomes tilted/distorted, and I lose almost all visibility of the garden depth. I’m struggling to find a balance between seeing who is at the door and seeing the full extent of the garden.

Is there a better way to angle this specific turret to capture both depth and the immediate area below, or is the mounting height the primary issue? Changing its location means visible trunking and losing neat finish.

Would it be better to point this current camera toward the end of the garden and add a second camera to cover the patio? What model would you suggest for full patio coverage? or if you have a better plan? Thank you
