There seem to be many questions about using these jigs but I don't understand something. All the instructions online say the rh and lh joins use the jig face up and flip the whole worktop laminate up for one side and laminate down for the other to get the opposing hands. Why not just flip the...

Gents, I'm finally ready to lay my kitchen floor and want insulation boards down 1st. I was going to use xps, the blue foam sheets but I know tilers don't like tiling if xps sheets are used. I only have a maximum of 30mm from my existing concrete floor to the top of the tiles. My tiles are...

Yes, UK seller. Yes it's CE marked. Made in China. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120955565155 I'm sure the choc block is where it's got to go, it goes to the switched output of the IR switch, 2 wires go also from here to the led driver. Without instructions I'm only...

Photo of the mirror unit and rear of the glass. Moulded plug to connect led's top right of back box and top left on glass. A 'spare' choc block presumably is the connection point for the demist pad. I was basically asking if it is expected for the purchaser of an item to be expected to...

Usually the ad for the item will say some assembly required, then its obvious and accepted. I guess you didn't have to connect the wires to the motor though? Whilst I'm happy to just connect the pad myself, there are no instructions to say where the coiled wire goes, I 'think' I can work it out...

Hello. Strange question this one but someone may have an answer. I bought a fancy bathroom mirror with led lights and a demister pad. When I got it I found the wiring inside wasn't complete, the led's have quick connect plugs but the demister pad wiring is rolled up and taped to the back of...

Just for info for anyone buying the Rexon RTC200A. The machine CAN’T accommodate a 600mm tile, the end supports for the cutter head slide rail are only 590mm apart. You can cut ~70mm slivers off a 600 but only then by doing a cut then moving the tile, checking for straightness and completing...

Thanks JCts. I bought the machine but missed its delivery so will now get it Fri. Its a 'b' grade new item, £70, box damaged apparently, seller unable to answer specific details of machine. Looking forward to getting on with my floor. Tiles waiting for me at warehouse. Will no doubt be...

A post I read says use a 20mm half moon notch, why do you need to use such a large notch trowel for laying floor tiles? Wall tiles go on using a 5-6mm notch so when the tile is set in position the bed will be ~ 3mm. A 20mm notch floor trowel will end up making addy bed over 10mm thick. Why...

Brian, Hopefully you are still active on here! Did the rtc200a fully cut a 600 wide tile, 12mm thick. How do you rate the machine? JCts, did you use one also? Thanks and sorry for dragging up an old message, I can't (don't know how to) pm Brian.

I'm possibly going to buy a Rexon 200A tile cutter. The spec says 330mm cut at max of 30mm deep but a post a few years ago says you can get a 600 tile in the machine and make a cut. I can't find an online manual but photos of the machine scaling the 200mm blade makes me think the machine is...

Sorry about that, I meant have the socket fed from the lighting circuit. Take a supply from the ceiling rose to the socket, choc block live to a wall switch brown sleeving the return to live pin of socket. Wall switch now turns socket on/off. I know its not going to be double pole switched but...

Very quick replies, thanks guys. LED strip tx units are 2A, only 2m of led strip off each tx, 2 display cabinets each side of fireplace. I'd like to keep it off the lighting as then if anyone takes off the switch front they won't get a surprise having isolated the lighting, I want to switch...

The existing kitchen floor is concrete, and currently very cold. I want to have elec ufh so will be using a 10mm board. Rapid set flexible adhesive I believe? I thought about only using 6mm board to limit the overall increase in floor surface but 6mm just seems to thin for decent insulation...

I'm not sure what you are trying to say/advise here. I'm here trying to research what I would like to do, there's bound to be someone who's done it before so a question usually gets an answer. The floor is chipboard as I said. The walls are currently partly plastered, ripped old tiles off where...

I want to use led strip lights in a display cabinet and the power adapters are usually 3 pin plugin types. Can you use a light switch to switch the live feed to a hidden 3 pin socket so you turn the cabinet lights on from a wall switch? The room light wall switch would then be a 2g with one...

With my bathroom being in two parts separated by an open archway can I have a ufh controller on the wall of the part containing only the hand wash basin and toilet? I posed this question in another post earlier today. I also want a towel warmer in this section of the bathroom, I was going to...

Another tiling question. I'm stripping my bathroom next. The walls are plastered and painted, tiles from floor to half wall height. I want to put a wetroom shower in and have a roll top bath, the toilet and washbasin are in a separate 'room', an archway goes into the bath/shower part. The...
