Hey all, What's the process to paint on floor tiles. I was going to sand the tiles (it's only a small porch that I'm doing.) and then paint. I'm not sure what paint to use since I've googled around and some have used normal emulsion, someone used chalk paint and other's used tile paint. For...

Hello all I have a enclosed porch which has some tiles already. In fact the ceramic tiles are on top quarry tiles - I think they are bull nose quarry tiles from what I could see from the neighbours houses. It looks like they did lay some self-leveling compound and then put the tiles on top...

Any recommended suppliers. I've seen a couple of suppliers, Castle and Permaroof. They don't have any retailers near me unfortunately.

I think he means the asphalt type of material not the felt. Showed me some photos and it was like the material used on roads.

Hello all, This year we are having our balcony refurbished. Currently it is a fiberglass balcony and is need of a refurb. along with the balustrade. It's not leaking as far as we know but we're not sure if there is rot going on underneath of course. We've contacted a builder and his preference...

Thanks. I found those. Look very good. Should be able to make the wife smile now. :)

Our current fiberglass balconey is in need of a slight repair. There are no leaks apparent but one support of the glass balustrade is gone so the balustrrade is wonky. Clearly maybe some rot underneath. The fiberglass does make a cracking sound in a couple of places. So perhaps the boarding...

Wife bought a few of these turkish wall lamps. Been looking at how to mount them Going to use screws with a washer to hold the lamp to the wall. As typical with turkish stuff, no ground wire. There really is no place to put in a screw anywhere so I was thinking of using a loop with crimp (see...

Thanks, Now that you mention it, a close look at the chips does seem to indicate a veneer. I'll examine it more. Your idea about a re-polish is a good one. Salik.

I have this dineing table which we've had for about 30 years. It has a significant amount of damage to it. Mainly clouding from hot items being placed on the surface, some small chips - probably from being moved a couple of times - and tape residue. The table is expandable so to keep it from...

Not all. It is not hanging over the landing or the top section of stairs at all. But you can still play with the lights as much as you like! :giggle:

Managed to get this on. Added a board into the loft beside the one already there. Used 60mm screws and washers for the bracket. This ain't going anywhere. Two ladders with a board in between with the son and wife help to hold it up. It was 10kg! each of those shades is solid cast aluminium...

Yeah I was thinking about this as well I can move it to the right. I found plenty of boards in the garage to put it up with. But found the insulation rather gritty and terrible. At least it's beside the loft opening so no crawling in a very dangerous loft. I can easily attach a ground wire to...

Eagle eyed I see. :) Your son's light is lovely. What my wife chose is ... well... not as nice if I am honest and probably taller. It's far more than 4kg. Probably around 10-12kg I reckon. I might have some scrap 4" wood around somewhere I can fit between the trusses and screw into that. The...

Hello. The other half has this chandelier which wants hanging. Replacing another chandelier. It's really quite heavy. each bulb shade it very thick metal. Not thin metal or glass. Quite thick metal. It looks like it comes with a bracket. I think it's a bracket. It came as it. no mounting...
