Thanks guys. Have attached a picture this time to see if it’s more clear. The threshold in the middle is 20mm high, this can’t be covered with anything as doors attach to this. The floor height both sides is 12mm + 5mm underlay so that’s 17mm. Floor colour at one side is like a brown and...

Hi guys, My little extension is almost complete so will be looking at flooring very soon Now I have laid laminate a few times and do ok with it, but am looking for advice on the best way to finish it against some internal doors. Basically I have added another room onto my existing living...

Hi guys Looking for some real world knowledge from people in the know. I am looking into starting with lightwave. Just had a new extension and was going to start here. Reasons for lightwave are 1. It’s easy (I think) 2. Dimmers look great and have an oem look about them. 3. My garden has...

You could do a floating panel up the middle. Mine is wood but they look good with split face tiles on as well. The wires for mine I had buried in the walls when we first moved in but the tv looked lost against the wall. Wife would t get a bigger tv so we opted to do the panel to break the wall...

Thanks I was leaning towards aluminium but in my head at least I have concerns over the UPVC expanding and contracting with the heat then giving us problems later down the line. Our window guy was trying to steer us towards Ali but did say UPVC was ok for less than 3m. He wouldn’t do them...

Hi guys, my little extension is starting to take shape at last. We are having some 3m bi folds. ( well probably 2.85m now to be exact due to some other issues but that’s another story. Anyway. I had in mind aluminium. Not sure why but I was adamant I didn’t want UPVC. Think I was worried...

Hello, The builders start work on my extension next week. It’s only small and I’m torn with radiator position. Well for making the room work for me anyway. At one side of my bi folding doors the internal wall is 300mm wide and the other side is 400mm wide. What I’m wondering is, it is...

Thanks everyone. Pretty much what I hoped to hear. After the last guy wanting to rip it out I guess it made me think everyone would think the same. Nice to know someone built something to last!!

[/url] Thanks for that, will have a read of that thread tonight. Its possible the pan connector isn't sealed right, it looks ok but disappears under the floor in what looks like some black concertina type flexible joint? The toilet is floor boards which are tiles.... so access just to...
