Thanks for the info, I was just wondering about the architrave boxes because they are half the width of a single gang backbox and would look much neater if a speaker wasn't on the wall for some time...

Cannot thank you enough for this in depth reply. It really has cleared alot of things that were bouncing around in my head to the point of being quite a stress! I'm totally in for starting with a base setup and then adding the ATMOS and upgrading further down the line when budget allows. And...

Thankyou for the reply, without using a wallplate behind speakers how would you finish the the area where the wire comes through the plasterboard, I don't want it to be an eyesore incase my budget doesn't stretch for a speaker system at this time. Regards finishing behind TVs with a brush plate...

Also here is my idea for the Lounge Setup if I were to go with a surround setup instead of Sonos, I have omitted the RB and LB speakers as they will be on the back wall, I also plan to run wires for 2 ceiling speakers for future ATMOS support. If I plug all my devices into the A/V receiver will...

Thankyou for everyones feedback, its become quite the topic for conversation. As the OP of this thread I would be more than happy to take delivery of some Hardiebacker to put it to the test and give my honest feedback :)

Thanks for the feedback Doggit, looks like ill be going for 38mm Thermaline PIR for the walls and use some 27mm Thermaline Plus for the reveals (they don't do thinner than 38mm in the PIR).

Hey everyone, Thinking of installing a log burner during my current renovation, the chimney breast looks a little shallow right now so I was wondering if it would be ok to batten out the face with 2x2 in order to gain some extra depth? another option would be that c-stud metal. Thankyou, any...

Thanks for the reply, im just replacing old downlights in my parents house but the old ones were different as they didn't have loop in/out and they didn't require an earth, the bathrooms actually really small but it has 5 holes. Regards vapour sealing/thermal insulation the loft space really...

That was quick! Thankyou very very much.

Hi everyone, I have 5 downlights to install in the bathroom (Enlite EN-DE8), they have in/out loop connections. I'm wondering will I be able to loop in/out of them all one after the other or is there a limit on how many you can run consecutively? Thanks any feedback is much appreciated.

Quick update, Started the insulation today, if anyone can spot anything I am doing wrong please do tell :) Thanks.

Thanks for the info, I'll be running hdmis/coax/ethernet in walls between TVs/dvd players etc and have room for 32mm so I'll shop around for that.

Anyone have any conduit recommendations? need to start thinking about getting some, thanks
