Hi All, After recently having my soffit and facia cleaned, one of the vents has fallen out and smashed. I have been unable to locate the same vent to buy anywhere. I have taken a couple of pictures and am posting them here in the hope that some of you may have come across this particular...

Thanks for the reply big-all.

Morning All, I am looking for advice on a brad nailer for light wooden cladding that I intend to use in a small (9ft x 4ft) room that is to be used as a wardrobe space. The cladding is pine, 7.5mm thick and will be hung on battens. I would like to be able to "secret nail" them to the...

aaargh, Tile onto the smooth side - it has the printed text on it (got this from one of the numerous Knauf websites). Just finished refurbing my bathroom, using Aquapanel. teddyk.

Hi, I have recently had my bathroom tiled. I asked the tiler not to tile an area above the sink so that I could get a mirror installed. This area is 1100mm by 900mm. I am ready to order the mirror now, but I'm unsure about how to install it. Should I order the mirror slightly smaller than...

Hi, We have decided that we want to convert our ensuite into a walk-in wardrobe. We have already had the shower, sink and toilet removed, leaving the pipework capped off. I have removed the tile from the shower cubicle, leaving the plasterboard in a fine mess. I am hoping to clad the...

I'm in the process of fitting some at the moment. The Knauf website says that it should be bedded into a flexible cement based tile adhesive, so that's what I'll do. I don't know if you can get away with not using it. See...

Thanks very much Jasonb. teddyk.

Hi, About to start laying Aquapanel Thermal on 3/4 inch ply, over tongue and groove floor in bathroom. Using BAL Single Part Flexible adhesive. Is there any need to PVA the ply before applying the adhesive? Thanks, teddyk.

Hi, On a lot of BAL literature for their adhesives, it states that the adhesive is suitable for Ceramic tiling. I am wondering if the term "Ceramic" covers Procelain tiles? i.e. is Procelain just a different form of Ceramic? Regards, tsddyk.

Thanks again. Think I understand what your're talking about now. teddyk

masona, Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm not sure though what you mean about packing out the base? Could you elaborate a bit more please? teddyk

Hi, I'm getting a new bath installed shortly, prior to tiling. It is a fairly standard 1700mm Ideal-Standard, made from some sort of fibreglass. Not very heavy, as I can lift it on my own. The bath will be surrounded on three sides by walls. Should I build a wooden support frame for it...

Thanks Jasonb. I have loads of Aquapanel for the job. When ordering it, my local builders suppliers insisted that I would have to take a full pallet (24 sheets, when I only required about 12) as they would be ordering it in especially for me. I was surprised at how difficult it was to...

Thanks for the reply. Two of the walls are exterior block walls with a plasterboard covering. The other two walls are internal partition walls with plasterboard. I am planning on removing all plasterboard (need to do this anyway to get plumbing, electrics moved) and replacing with Aquapanel...
