Fitting a Laufen form bath with an aluminium frame to which the bath panel fixes then I will be tiling the panel with 457mm x 305mm travertine tiles. I was going to use 18mm wpb but it will be too thick when the tiles are fixed to it so I thought about 12mm wpb or aqua panel,but will these be...

Thanks for replies, been trawling through internet but can't make up my mind. Any more thoughts on what sizes to go for considering I only done a couple of ceilings and walls before. Would 13" be more suitable for a beginner. I think my shopping list will be as follows 13"/14" ss trowel...

Decided to invest in a full set of plastering trowels,tools etc but not sure what size trowels I should get and what other tools I should buy. I have plastered before to an ok standard using cheapo trowels but they have gone rusty and pitted so thought about buying stainless steel. I will be...

:oops: got square in wrong place should have read 15sq/m.

Had a couple of quotes for converting my leaking flat roof over my 3rd bedroom extension on my 1930's semi. The size of the roof is 15m square and quotes came in at £2500 and £3000 which I thought was reasonable. The second more expensive quote included plastic soffits and facias and I think he...

Thanks Tickly T I did think of what you have suggested but don't think there will be enough margin for error.

Thanks for reply seco. I know but if you look at the design of the trap the hole I think will be quite large once its raised up on the bed of mortar. I suppose its unlikely anyone will be jumping up and down in this area so probabally nothing to worry about.

Installing a stone resin shower tray to 25mm wpb and wish to use one of these http://www.hansgrohe.co.uk/uk_en/65957_32313634315F32355F3632333631.htm My concern is the size of the hole I will need to cut in the wpb to accommodate the trap as the trays area over the hole will be unsupported and...

Yep I know, does sound like an extension I suppose I was hoping it maybe seen as a bigger conservatory so no need for planning but can't find out much on my local councils/planning website regarding replacing a conservatory with will be as you say will be an extension. Anyway emailed them to see...

Thanks for reply, thought this may'be the case will contact them nearer the time.

At sometime in the not too far distant future I plan to replace the crappy conservatory at the back of my semi with a bigger structure. The plan is to make it mostly of brick/breeze block with large windows and bi/fold doors and depending on cost either a glass roof or tiles and large velux's...

Yes, thats what I said in the earlier post.

Not fitted permantly at the moment, I've fitted a joist at the shower head height and grafted in a piece of aluminium for strength then I mocked up the thickness of plasterboard and tiles using a piece of wood. The outside of the stud wall will not be plasterboarded until the inside is finished...

I can at the moment but obviously wont be able to when plasterboard and tiles are fitted.

Anyone know who sells 22mm x 1/2" bsp bent tap connectors, it's for fitting a rainfall shower head and the manual says to use 22mm pipe where possible. I could reduce down to 15mm and use a 15mm bent tap connector but thought this would cause a restriction and reduce the flow.

Ok will do wasted too much time on this. Thanks for thr help in making up my mind everyone.

I was only joking about the snowfall. How much the water would cool would depend on the distance it fell and the air temperature of the room, I wouldn't worry about it. Yeah I know, but I read something else that mentioned that so thought there may be something in it.

who 's bothered about her :lol: seriously though she's 5'9" so should be ok, is there a way of working out how much the water would cool when it drops a certain distance.

Thanks Bahco My sons 6' 2"and I'll be running a 1.5 bar pump. I read elsewhere 82" and the wife thinks that looks right would I be ok at that.

About to install one of those large square rainfall shower heads and can't make up my mind how high it should be, I'm looking for the measurement from shower tray surface to the underside of the shower head.
