I guess the difference is, a wall unit isn't as deep. The server rack is 600mm deep so this would create more of a pivot force than a wall unit.

I'd never heard of a stacking kit, just did a look online and I can see that it would take care of the washing machine and tumble dryer stack. Any ideas on how to manager the server rack?

Anyone?

I'm planning the layout for a new utility room. There's a couple of items I'd like to fix to the wall inside the utility room but due to layout constraints, I can only put them on a stud partition wall. The wall is about 230cm wide and about 240cm high. In the centre of the wall (but standing...

That's good info, thank you. Totally get that about the B&Q and not being able to find the same laminate after a few years but I'd imagine that'd be the same with most things. Even with reputable companies, they also discontinue colours/textures etc so you could have the same issue. I guess...

I ordered some samples of the Quick Step Creo and I'm not expert but it does look and feel worse quality than the B&Q laminate I'm currently considering (https://www.diy.com/departments/goodhome-brisbane-grey-oak-effect-laminate-flooring-2m-pack/1717658_BQ.prd). I guess all the glowing reports...

I don't doubt it given the glowing feedback I've read. However, they have a range of products from the budget end to the high end. I can't imagine that their budget end is as good as their high end stuff. Therefore, the more accurate question is: Is Quick Steps budget range (Creo £12 to £13 per...

Ah okay, fair enough. Definite food for thought. Thanks for the help.

I'm really confused. Loads of people go on about how B&Q laminate panels produced with varying degrees of spec and thus it is a right pig to install. The same people then go on to mention how Quick Step is so much better. Is it that the cheaper range of Quick Step is comparable to B&Q and the...

Sorry, what are you referring to when you say both?

I've often read that Quick Step are probably best manufacturers of lamination. I'd assume that the Creo (even if it's £12 per sq m) should be better than the equivalent priced products at Wickes/B&Q. No?

I need to put flooring down for some rooms but I'm on a tight budget. I've decided on laminate. I was initially looking at the options around £10 per sq m at Wickes and B&Q and found a couple of options. However, a lot of people highly recommend Quick-Step. Initially I thought this was out of my...

Just spoke a friend and they suggested (without any experience of whether it is a good idea or not) maybe I can use the a think layer of cheap MDF (or other appropriate wood) underneath the thin laminate that has square edge. So I have the normal underlay, a thin layer of cheap MDF wood and then...

I have a couple of rooms I'm deciding whether to get laminate or tiled vinyl. If I go for laminate, then I'm keen on the thicker 10 or 12mm ones for the more quality feel under the foot. The tiled vinyl (I believe this is also called luxury vinyl) is quite a bit thinner (3mm to 5mm). One of the...

I need to purchase flooring for a few bedrooms. Budget is a bit tight so I've decided to use laminate. The cheapest of the cheap laminate is very thin around 6 to 7mm, I feel buying this is false economy as the quality will be really poor and I'll end up having to redo the floor far sooner than...

Yes, he did say something about the minimum power. So sounds like that misaligned information was my fault by not relaying it properly. In all honesty, I didn't fully understand 100% he said and I don't recall everything he said either. I wasn't talking about putting in a 37kW when only a 12kW...

I spoke to a heating engineer (who is Vaillant Mastertech certified, he said this was slightly more certified than the normal Vaillant certification), and he said that a higher power boilers (at least with the Vaillant ones) the power can be dialled down to run as efficient as the lower powered...

Someone coming in to do the assessment before doing a quote seems like a lot of scope for being impartial. I'd rather pay someone to do a professional assessment knowing they have no personal incentive to suggest one thing over another. Not saying everyone is dishonest, but there's enough to...

What's the typical cost for a heating engineer to do a professional assessment?

That's a fair point but I'm still not sure what the input values are for that calculator. To make things even more difficult, I'm expecting the size of the family to increase in the coming years so I have to account for that. It might be oversized initially but it could end up being just right.
