    self leveling compound cracks

    ok thanks, not what i was wanting to hear. It also goes under our newly tiled shower room. Will it have to come up? or is there a chance it maybe ok. I can only see things are going to get worse when the underfloor heating is on.

    Utility area cupboard idea

    ok hows this idea. part shelf on the floor to give some height for the closing doors. Then a stacking unit like this for the washer / dryer. I`ve given 4cm to the side of the washing/dryer to allow access. Plenty of room at back for waste/water and electrics...

    Utility area cupboard idea

    Thanks for all the replies, those are great. Yes now I think about it on the floor wouldve been better, and yes I`ve seen a universal stacking shelf that even has a pull out shelf for putting the clothes basket on. I did give about 5cm space to the sides of the washing machine/dryer so it could...

    Underfloor heating & engineered flooring thickness

    Underfloor heating & engineered flooring thickness

    Hi , thanks for the replies. As someone asked its electric underfloor heating and a ply floor covering. I think will probably go for something around 12mm thick engineered board, at least then it will be within the general UFH manufacturers guide lines. Would rather not have tiled or vinyl...

    New bath required, P or L shape?

    Thanks, I`ve come across a 1600x800 corner type bath, its just slightly curved on the outside edge. It has a straight shower screen so thats easy to replace in the future which is my main concern. It does hold 230 litres mind, we are going to install a megaflow boiler and a 210 litre cylinder so...
