Installation instructions read and state: “To cut off bottom 25mm of closure plate and to cut a new 50x38mm relief opening.” However, I knew the relief opening/circulation vent was a legislative requirement; just surprised how obtrusive it looks and thought it could of been placed in a less...

Never thought of it like that.

There’s no additional relive hole other than the letter box opening in the closure plate

The new fire has replaced the old identical fire, which was also mounted on the wall, so too was the original gas fire. It was Landlords decision to replace the fire due to fault and installer fitted the new fire higher; because the faulty fire, the closure plate and tape protruded above it and...

Where would the closure plate circulation vent be located on a conventional radiant wall mounted gas fire. Images online and in brochures, the vent isn’t visible at all. However, the Gas Fire fitted at my Father’s House has a huge unsightly hole in the wall under the Fire, which looks terrible?

Thanks for the additional post and suggestions, much appreciated. My primarily concern is a vinyl flooring that isn’t susceptible to dents caused by furniture, especially when fitted in the living room and bedroom. A vinyl that requires a welded seam/join wouldn’t look so attractive in a...

Yeah, I think you maybe right. I’ll order more samples from the links you’ve provided... thanks. Also, I’m beginning to wonder whether it maybe the concrete floors within my home which has prevented the vinyl laid by the Housing Associations from acquiring indentation from the kitchen...

Although the Wood Effect samples I’ve received from Polyflor are much thicker and far superior to any vinyl floor covering I’ve ever come across; they’re totally different to the flooring which the Housing Association fitted in my kitchen; which is very robust and since it was fitted during...

lostinthelight....Thanks for the link.

Thanks for prompt replies, yeah both products/brands appear to be what I’m after and both offer a wood effect version. It was so difficult to find online without knowing what it was called, thanks. I can’t understand why traditional vinyl is so soft in comparison and susceptible to damage from...

As Subject title request; During 2007 the Housing Association fitted a gritty texture type vinyl to my kitchen and bathroom floor, which after 12 years, still looks as good as new and there’s no dents or furniture marks from the cooker, washer or fridge freezer; it feels very tough and durable...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I know the use of tails and iso valves isnt really necessary. I only planned to use them so to update and to tidy up appearance under the sink; current pipework to taps has turned black n green. Although, I'm the only one to look there, now I know...

ktuludays.... Thanks for your reply. The tap data sheet states only 2 taps, 2 washers, 2 backnuts supplied, no flexi tails mentioned. So, the term "Screw in Tails" means exactly that, the Flexi tails screw into the base of the taps ? I did intend to connect the flexi tail female connectors...

I wish to fit these taps: www.deva.org.uk/products/other/commercial/cross-handle/show/cross-handle-sink-taps They are near identical to the old Pegler taps which I'm finding difficult to find replacement valves for. However, the taps state they have Screw in Tails Does this mean something...

Ok; I'll look into this, thanks.

Thanks for the prompt and very informative reply; I'd planned to use isolation valves However, you say the hot & cold water must be reasonably balanced ? Currently, at my elderly Father's house, when a hot tap is opened, for a split second, the hot water is scalding; I have to keep...

Yeah, sorry; my own home and that of an elderly relative, both private residence & 2 bed.

Any legal requirement which has to be adhered to or, which prevents a DIY'er from installing TMVs into the hot water system of a residential property ?

Ok, thanks

Any opinions in regard to the other questions asked within my first post ?
