| 688818 | 2008-07-15 07:53:00 | What is very interesting is last week we got a HRV home ventilation system put in to stop the condensation, the control panel on the wall shows both the roof temp and the room temp, currently at 8.40pm, the roof temp is showing as 10, the room temp is showing as 17, so the heats staying in. Even in the early hours of the morning like last night at 2.30am, the roof was down to 4, yet the rooms were at 12, so somethings holding in the heat, I would say the batts work better. Would you be able to post a couple of pics on image F1 to show what the ceiling fitting looks like please. |

| 688820 | 2008-07-15 08:35:00 | Its most likely that it will happen, but........ knowing what sort and thickness is going to be the next question...... and how do you work out how much you need? beetle :) |

| 688821 | 2008-07-15 08:44:00 | It tells you on the package how much each bale of batts covers in sq/m so you just need to measure your house length*width and divide by the number on the bag to see how many you need. Make sure you get the area number from the bags you are going to use as different bales of batts cover different amounts of area. |

| 688822 | 2008-07-15 08:48:00 | Would you be able to post a couple of pics on image F1 to show what the ceiling fitting looks like please. Errrrr Ok - The ceiling vents are 195mm Dia on the ring that is on the ceiling and the outer plate, is 180mm Dia, the gap between the outer plate and inner ring is 20mm, they can be set closer, but you lose some efficiency so the guys said. Its silent, cant hear anything even in the quiet of night. Had these in since Thursday last week, was told it takes 3-4 weeks to notice any real difference, we have noticed it already after three days. excuse the unclear pic's the cameras knackered, the ceilings are actually white and the walls a thorn colour One vent (www.imagef1.net.nz) - that rooms in need of a renovate - good things take time :rolleyes: Another Vent (www.imagef1.net.nz) & the Control Panel (www.imagef1.net.nz) - as you can see the roof temp is 10, yet the hallway is 15, and thats the coldest part of the house. When the room temp is warmer than the roof temp, the fan goes down to idle, almost off completely. Not really that clear, but Size comparison (www.imagef1.net.nz) in the front lounge |
