Hi everyone, I’m currently going through a double glazing renovation and have a concern which I’d like to clear up for myself. I have discussed and agreed with my double glazer that I am wanting the Kommerling C70 profile which he himself recommended. However, he has sent me over an order...

I spoke to the fitter about this, as the glass in my current windows start at approx 850mm so I thought I could have maybe a low value standard glass but the fitter recommended I still use toughened glass. I have no problem going with his recommendation but wanted to know if using standard...

thank you everyone for your responses. I have posted in a couple other sites too just to get the best overall advice, as I can imagine there’s many professionals that can be on one forum and not another. The answers I’ve had so far are very helpful. I guess my next question would be, how do I...

Hi everyone, I am putting some porcelain tiles in the garden, on the floor, but also some against a wall (vertically). The tile shops have advised me to use this type of grout...

Hi, you posted a thread in 2005 in relation to your heating the rads up until they were hot then cool down. I have the exact same problem. What was the fix please?
