I'm no expert here, but have had a few conversations about this recently because i've been ordering flooors for myself. it may have a matt finish or be oiled i guess? i think you can test it by tropping some water on it, if it beads then it should be sealed, if it gets absorbed then not...

If you don't find a use for it i'll trade you. gummy bear leg sound fair?

Thanks for the info, i'll need to look into it further, as it is i've only stuck my head up there a few times, so will need to have a proper investigation. lol of course, long day.

sorry not sure if i have explained myself fully. the house was bought developed to a certain point, my contractor is making ajustments to the first fit, and then completing the second fit. We haven't asked him to look at the loftspace because in theory it's fine as it is, and it would only...

Yeah i've seen it done that way, but the house is already fully rendered and insulated, will just have to use a wide backing plate to spread the load and hope for the best i guess. Really don't want to be cutting chunks of insulation and rendering off the wall now. thanks good link

Thanks, this will take some carefull consideration i guess, luckily i have the rest of the house build to worry about first so plenty of time. I also read about infra red alarm sensors that are supposed to be useable with pets, anyone had experience with those?

ignore me then, i'm being a muppet today

Thanks guys. It's a masonary wall so i don't need to be worried about finding studs etc. I will have a read through that link now thanks! One of my concernes was with water ingreess and damproofing, any ideas if silicon sealand into the holes and around the backing plate would be...

:lol: i expect you're right, just seemed strange that noone pointed out the obvious. ahh well

Hi guys, Feels like i have a ton of questions right now :oops: I have a new home which is externally insulated 100mm+ of polistyrene and then rendered. I will need to drill holes for fitting external lighting, sensors, etc and a possible satelite dish (would rather avoid this)... I...

seems like everyones overlooking the obvious here... OP have you checked the signal strength on the box? It's very coincidental that this has just started occuring after high winds, at a guess i would say your dish is very slightly out of alignment leaving you with a borderline signal...

Hi all, I'm in the proccess of finishing a new home, and whilst our contractor is finishing all the living spaces we also have a small attic space i would like to use for storage and such. Currently the attic is just open beams with insulation layed between them. Is it just a simple...

Yeah shutters are very popular in Poland, never really came across them back in the UK that often. i'm just fitting them to the ground floor initially, and if i decide against the alarm i will put some individual sensors on the windows upstairs i think

Hi guys, My first post here hopefully these aren't questions that have been answered too often. I'm finishing off a new house, the developer i bought is from has put wiring in for an alarm system, and i'm considering how to best make use of it. I'f i do decide to go for an alarm there...
