    Is there such a thing as soft open hinges

    PS: I'm going to be using stops like in a normal door, so a push click equivalent won't work. My opening is 700mm x 700mm so door size will be around 694-696mm

    Is there such a thing as soft open hinges

    I was originally going to use normal cabinet hinges with one of these to lock closed, but now I'm thinking if it's possible to have a solution that self stays in place (the "Stays and Lifts" terminology in that Blum option) - would they be strong enough?

    Loft hatch door

    I have some 28mm thick Spruce Timberboard. I'm looking to use one of those push click or magnetic catches so not sure if it will be too heavy. The 2050x600 sheet I have is labelled at 17kg, but I only need a 700x700 cut (I will rip some off and glue to make 700)

    Extensions - how they're done now

    That's a bit harsh. But not all extensions in the last half century have been done this way. I've seen plenty that have been toothed in. My neighbour has a side-extension, done circa 2005 which is all toothed in. My parents had side and back done circa mid-90's, all toothed in. My parents in...

    Extensions - how they're done now

    Hi, I've seen a few extensions go up recently, all on various type (semi, detached etc.) houses. One common theme I am seeing is that the brickwork is no longer stitched/toothed to the existing brickwork and rather just butted on the end. Whereas over the years they have been done 'properly'...

    House Temperature

    This. But the problem is apparently "smart" devices do not understand this concept to allow such customization. There is guidance from both heat and health organisations (including NHS) that a "comfortable" temperature is between 18-21/22degrees which they seem to follow.

    House Temperature

    Our downstairs in open plan except for the hallway. Our stat is next to the door that leads from the open plan area to the hallway so close enough to work, but far away to not be too sensitive. I always understood the stat should be nearest to a radiator with no TRVs of any kind - otherwise the...

    House Temperature

    Hi, I've recently become interested in "house temperature" from a conversation at work, plus I have smart heating conrols (all but one radiator also use a Smart TRV) which consistently tells me my house is cold and humid. Doing some research, most articles agree on 18-21/22degrees (especially...

    Refund only option in warranty - price increase

    Yeah I've had nothing but great experience with Amazon returns, even things past their warranty date. So this isn't a dig at them individually, more the general fact; we as consumers should never have to pay more to replace an in-warranty item, especially one that's newly unboxed! Moral of...

I have been live chatting Amazon directly, not the seller Amazon have offered 100% full refund, which is the Black Friday price They cannot do a direct replacement, but don't/refuse to divulge why (4 different chat agents have said this) This means I have...

    Cable hole grommets/tidies

    Computer desk inspiration

    Hi, I can't decide between standard MFC (or similar) or solid kitchen worktop-style. Problem is I'd like something between the 2 thickness wise (maybe 26-30mm). What I do know is I want colour to be grey; really like this https://www.egger.com/en/interior/decor-detail/H1313_10?country=GB (had...
