    About two years ago, we had a pitched roofed porch built on the front of the house. At the time we didn't consider having a radiator installed. Now we wish we had.
    Your advice is sought on the following. To tee off the main heating pipes under the floor boards of the front bedroom ( overlooking the porch ). To drill through the outer wall of the original building, and run the pipes ( possibly in flexible ) into the loft space of the porch. Then drop down through the ceiling to the rad. The porch is approx. 2.2mtrs x 1.6mtrs.
    Any advice will be gratefully accepted. Especially as regards drilling through the outer wall, and the type of radiator that would be best.
    Thank's in advance.
