You may well be right. Thanks for that. It's odd why Chantilly is classed as privacy level 2 whereas Oak as level 4. Chantilly appears to obscure more in the photo.

Thanks for the link. Would anyone recognise this glass pattern? I can't seem to find it at the Pilkington Link.

Would anyone know of a website which shows readily available designs in the UK of obscure glass patterns for DG units - ideally showing the same background so the privacy level can be compared. Thanks.

Someone mentioned to me that when a textured design privacy glass is installed in a double glazing unit, for a bathroom for example, it's a buildings requirement that the privacy glass only goes on one pane - not both. Is that correct; if so, I wonder why this is the case? If it's restricted...

Would a Rehau sash window usually be more expensive (much more?) than a Rehau tilt and turn of the same size? ( 1000mm wide, 1700mm high )

Which would be cheaper a uPVC tilt and turn of 1000mm width x 1700mm height, or a uPVC top vent window of same overall dimensions? Assuming both from same manufacturer/supplier. Perhaps similar in price?

Is a window of 1000mm width and 1700mm height too large to have as a one piece uPVC opening double glazed window? Either hinged the full length down one side, or alternatively hinged along the top, or alternatively a tilt and turn window.

Thanks for that.

As you will be aware a tilt and turn window can be in closed position, or vented, or completely open. If children have access to such a window (on 1st floor) obviously you don't want them being able to open it, but okay for them to close or vent it. Is it possible that a child could set such a...

Does a coupling exist which allows an external cast iron soil pipe to be connected to a modern plastic soil pipe? Thanks.

I'm aware of someone who is considering having a plumber install a rimless toilet. Are there any known problems with regards to installing these i.e. specific to this toilet type? Thanks.

Are there any 1-gang 2-way touch dimmer wall switches on the market which can be used in conjunction with a 2-way mechanical on/off switch? It does not need to have wifi/bluetooth/Alexa connectivity or have a remote control. Thanks.

Potentially either.

If I wanted to have an LED bulb which had an equivalent of at least and old-style 100W (maybe even 150 W), I guess the dimmer switch shown in the attachment could not be used in conjunction which such a bulb since it's probably impossible to obtain a 7 W LED bulb which is equivalent to an...

Would you use 40 mm masonry nails where the rail attaches to plastered brick wall?

Once the plaster has dried over a couple of weeks on a plasterboard wall, would you apply the grab adhesive to affix the picture rail directly onto the bare plaster? Alternatively, the plasterboard could have a thinned coat of emulsion applied, then coated with full emulsion. However, this...

If wanting to apply affix a picture rail to a stud wall which has still to be boarded and plastered, would you: a) attach picture rail to studs using a small wooden block on each stud, then boarding above and below the rail, then plastering above and below rail b) board entire wall, affix...

This would be one double socket, and not a single socket.

It would just be one standard double socket, so just the one cable.

If a 25mm metal pattress, with standard 20mm knockouts, is set into a brick wall, to allow the installation of a standard domestic electrical socket, does the conduit need to be 20mm round conduit? That is, conduit running from floor inside wall up to socket. Was wondering if conduit of a...
