How about radiator enamel, looks nice enough when its on.

Thanks p.pittstop, the tiles weigh 2.3kg each and there 9.26mm thick so it looks like i will be ok for the weight limit although they are a bit over the 9mm thickness. So is this APD strong stuff as i seem to have developed this paranoia about tiles falling of, dont know why as the last lost...

Im glad to say you havnt upset me, i am not paying for the job my insurance company is. Can you give me some more info on ( acylic based primer) cant say ive heard of it before, a brand name would be handy. These tiles are hefty brutes 17" x 12" and i would hate one to fall of, imagine the...

Ive just had a new plasterboard wall fitted and its been skimmed, im going to tile it do i have to gouge it to help the tiles stick. Seems a shame. Whats the best preperation for the wall before tiling. The plaster will have been on a week this friday 16/sept/05 how long should i leave it before...

Cheers for the info masona, Ive decided im going to let the job get finished and take it from there. Ive thought i might install the new wc and cistern and once its screwed into place it could be solid, So no point in worrying about something that might not be. But seeing as youve mentioned...

I think thats what they have used (screws for chipboard). To be fair the cistern isnt on the stabelest backboard but this will be getting rectified tomorrow. The cisterns coupled to the pan with two bolts, it never felt that secure before the floor was renewed. I just dont have much faith in...

Read the tutorial and done a practice with an off-cut of pipe on my newly acquired pipe bender. I can report that its spot on. Ive got some tricky pipe bending coming up and am i made up i read that tutorial. I would memorise that little table but having the memory of a goldfish makes that...

I have just had a chipboard floor replaced in the bathroom sadly with more of the same. In a couple of weeks i will be installing a new wc in the mean time the old pan has been put back and secured to this sad flooring material with four screws by the firm doing the job. It doesnt feel the...

How much would it cost to aquapanel a wall 116" long by 93" high. Im talking getting the material and all the sundries that would be required plus the labour. Also could some on tell me how its afixed to the wall and is it covered with a skim of plaster prior to tiling...

I can believe you jbonding, this house is about 25yrs old and some of the stuff ive come across are just an eye opener. There seems to be so much incompetence about and not just in the building game. I put a lot of it down to some tradesmen not having much training if any, so they dont know how...

Yeah i agree 100% with you there masona. Thats what i was saying, why not use Aquapanel its not that dear.

Thanks jbonding, so from the thickness of the rock wool insulation i presume the studs are 3" by 2" is that right as it was a question id asked earlier. masona, cheers for the info on Aquapanel looks good stuff, what i meant though was why arnt the builders proposing to use something a bit more...

Yes and no, there was a bath against the wall and it had a seal round top. There was an electric shower and the shower head was over the bath. When the bath was removed thats when the damage was discovered, looks as though pipework under the bath had been leaking. Looking at what you said over...

Thanks for the info, you will have to bear with me here as im no builder is the plasterboard you mention in anyway waterproof/resistant. How thick is the mineral quilt and how good is it at providing sound insulation, im presuming that this is its function. Now seeing as i havnt fully adopted...

I am having a water damaged plasterboard wall removed and i have some questions regarding sound insulation for the replacement wall. In a previous post i asked about why 3 layers of plasterboard were used on this wall and 2 contributors to the post said it would be for amongst other things sound...

Brilliant :lol: love the animation.

Thanks jbonding, im just waiting for the builders to give me a start date and official details of what they intend doing and i will take it from there. From the workmanship ive seen round the house some of your comments seem very apt. Only one that wouldnt apply is the wider casing as the doors...

Thanks, yes it is a newish house. Ive had a surveyor from a building firm out looking over the job he didnt really know why there were 3 skins of plasterboard in place. He said they would only want to put one skin up, but i thought there would be a reason why the building firm used 3 boards...
