    How to seal a shower tray

    The shower tray that we have to install in an angle is so heavy that we need 2 persons pushing it on the floor to put it in place. How can we in that condition put the cement on the floor and then the tray on top without spreading the concrete all over the place. It will be a mess. There must...

    Textured Masonry Paint

    The instructions says 'for exterior only' but I read on that forum that some have their inside walls covered with textured paint. 1. Can I use that kind of paint in a bathroom on plasterboard walls? 2. Is there textured paint special for inside, I can't find that? Thanks.

    cork or laminate for a bathroom?

    We don't know what type of floor to install in our bathroom. My husband is suspicious regarding laminate special-bathroom. Would cork be more resistant to humidity? Are cork tiles easy to install? Is the uni-click system for cork plank better than cork tiles? Thanks

    Wall mounted wash-basin

    Thanks. I'm not sure we'll install a wall mounted one in that case. Althought I have been told on that site that I can install a wall mounted basin on a plasterboard wall, my husband is very suspicious and concerned about the weight of the basin.

    Wall-mounted wash-basins

    Should I brake the panel to see where are the beams under, then put new plasterboard and install the basin which will be fixed on the beam?

    In that case, shall I use a paint for wood or for plastic? I am a bit confused because I have been told a bit further up that a moulded fire door is not wood! Thanks.

    Can I varnish a fire moulded door?

    Ok, I did not know that. What can I use then to colour it? Paint only? What kind? Also, can you tell me what is the aim of this white stuff on it, is it something like a primer to protect it?

    Can we block airbrick?

    It is more cold then drafty (we can say 'drafty, I don't know, I'm french). We blocked the holes everywhere as we could be but still feel cold. I guess it is linked to the airbricks because the cold place is exactly located at the place where we see the airbrick outside. We put a new...
