    MDF or wood door linings?

    So, that wall is plaster skimmed for the most part and then lined for the smaller part? Or is it skimmed the entire length and then lining put on top? Would MDF make for a good replacement for solid wood lining when it comes to installing 3 lever mortice dead locks etc or will it be easy to...

    MDF or wood door linings?

    I've never known the full wall thickness to not be lined. It would look odd wouldn't it any other way?

    Clark manhole drain cover

    I honestly don't know and it's not mentioned anywhere and not easy to weigh unless I bring a pair of scales to the building site and Mr standing on it as I'm not living at the property yet.

    MDF or wood door linings?

    Can I have some views please on using MDF for door linings and fire linings. Will pink 25mm fire linings be sufficient as I know wood linings needs to be around 30mm or 32mm. Also is best to splash out and us moisture resistant ones everywhere despite it going to be painted white? How do I...

    Clark manhole drain cover

    Yes that is the one. John there is a risk that my car when parked in the garage, my left front tyre (therefore the heavier engine load bearing weight) will either slowly go over it or park on top of it as it's the correct position where my car will eventually come to a stationary stop. Not...

    Clark manhole drain cover

    The whole car is not going to put its weight on one wheel. Whilst I don't know what the weight is on one wheel most tyres including mine say that the tyre can take 650kg. It just feels soft when walking over this drain. Curious to know what others experience when fitting manhole covers.

    Clark manhole drain cover

    I bought this Clark drain cover from Wickes for my garage manhole. Seems quite soft when walking over it despite it saying it can take 650kg or whatever. I’m worried about eventually driving my car over it which is positioned where the wheel will be stationary on it. Are they generally ok...

    What's the next size door up from 33"?

    Hi I'd like to know what size width doors (both internal and external) are generally available in. I know that 27" is usually for bathroom doors, 30" (762mm) is for the majority of internal doors and 33" (838mm) is for wider disabled access doors. Is there a size wider than this (without it...

    How much heat is released from an insulated hot water tank?

    Correct, no bath or shower in the proposed W/C for the garage (JohnD do you have a WC in the garage too?) We just plan to have a 1.5m by 1m partitioned room with a back to wall toilet, sink unit and then hang a central vacuum system on the wall and potentially this bulky ventilation system...

    How much heat is released from an insulated hot water tank?

    My boiler and hot water storage tank (mega flow type) will be sited in our internal garage. I'll be making a small 1.2m by 1m partition in there to house and fire protect a heat recovery and ventilation type system that will be on the inside of an external wall and we might put a toilet and...

    Wenge v walnut (for stairs and doors)

    Yes, that's the issue, I do prefer the darker shade of American black walnut and concerned it will fade. Here is an example door we like. https://www.todd-doors.co.uk/iseo-b4500-walnut-door

    Wenge v walnut (for stairs and doors)

    Interesting thanks. The American walnut doors you get off the shelf from LPD, Todd doors etc, they will all fade but they have a lacquer coating which prevents it or make a very difficult to re varnish or stain again. Regarding the comment on hardwood, perhaps it was a blase coming for me...
