I bought this Clark drain cover from Wickes for my garage manhole. Seems quite soft when walking over it despite it saying it can take 650kg or whatever. I’m worried about eventually driving my car over it which is positioned where the wheel will be stationary on it. Are they generally ok...

Would you guys in know, opt for Daikin over Panasonic?

Thanks. Are these for both internal and external or one of the two? Can you or anyone personally recommend any black American wallnut door suppliers that I should consider?

Hi I'd like to know what size width doors (both internal and external) are generally available in. I know that 27" is usually for bathroom doors, 30" (762mm) is for the majority of internal doors and 33" (838mm) is for wider disabled access doors. Is there a size wider than this (without it...

Yes I was considering 24v and also I was told to run the cable from the driver to different sections of the length of the LED strips.

Indoor for around the walls in a bulkhead and ceiling.

Could I please have some recommendations for a colour changing LED strip as I’ll need to buy this in quantity circa 70m.

Was it worth fitting?

Is that a serious question or are you being sarcastic?

Correct, no bath or shower in the proposed W/C for the garage (JohnD do you have a WC in the garage too?) We just plan to have a 1.5m by 1m partitioned room with a back to wall toilet, sink unit and then hang a central vacuum system on the wall and potentially this bulky ventilation system...

My boiler and hot water storage tank (mega flow type) will be sited in our internal garage. I'll be making a small 1.2m by 1m partition in there to house and fire protect a heat recovery and ventilation type system that will be on the inside of an external wall and we might put a toilet and...

Yes, that's the issue, I do prefer the darker shade of American black walnut and concerned it will fade. Here is an example door we like. https://www.todd-doors.co.uk/iseo-b4500-walnut-door

Interesting thanks. The American walnut doors you get off the shelf from LPD, Todd doors etc, they will all fade but they have a lacquer coating which prevents it or make a very difficult to re varnish or stain again. Regarding the comment on hardwood, perhaps it was a blase coming for me...

Saw a joinery firm yesterday who suggested I might be better off with Wenge as my wood type instead of American Walnut for my stairs and doors. Said that walnut will fade in the sunlight and is not a hardwood and though better than pine, can scratch easily (as it did when I gave him my sample)...

Yes, this is exactly my worry and I'm rather shameless to stay we are quite lazy at cleaning! Might just stick to the white glazed. On another subject, how can I find wider toilet bowls? In my culture we tend to wash ourselves with a douche shower spray but I find it somewhat annoying sitting...

I've seen some nice black matt coloured toilets, taps and accessories for my new bathroom. Has anyone had any negative personal experience with matt black coloured toilets, basins, shower mixers etc? I plan to use a water softener in the home but wondering if reduced limescale will be an issue...

I know this very much depends on individual preferences and taste but what do most people consider aesthetically pleasing with respect to the colour of the light switches and sockets as part of a high end home renovation project in which many of the sockets and switches will be visible? Most if...

We actually cabled every major ceiling room in the house because our building inspector first said to us that we could avoid using FD30 doors as part of our renovation project if we did it this way but then sometime later could not recall saying that. I kind of also wanted it that way so I...

What's the significance of 12 volt LEDs and drivers and 24-volt when given a choice?

Do you or anyone else know how loud the receiving unit/display is when someone rings the button on the intercom? If you have a two storey home for example can be heard from quite a high or long distance?
