The make of all the windows & doors I'm installing is Euramax. There deepest sill is 185mm. Haven't actually opened the packaging yet to see if there are straps / clips for fitting. If there are none included I will most likely screw through the frame into outer leaf with frame fixers. I...

Hi. I have new upvc windows & doors to fit in my new extension with 150mm deep external sills.

I would like to build my 2 storey extension around the existing single story extension so we can carry on using it (part of kitchen) then once new extension is water tight, knock the old one down. I understand this is probably unusual and it no doubt would be easier to knock it down first, but...

It's a fair size. approx 2.7m wide and about 5m long. I know this does seem a lot of light though. Maybe 6 would be enough but i dont want to create shadows by not having enough light. Thanks for your help. :o

Thanks i'll daisy chain em then and keep the earth continuity going with terminal blocks. This circuit will have a total of 1100w and will be protected by a 6amp mcb. I understand this to be ok. So the flat grey 1.5mm cable is ok then, it doesn't have to be special heat resistant cable? Thanks...

Cheers crafty for your swift and educated reply! I will do as you say and hope i can squeeze those 6mm cables into the fcu's! :D

I want to wire 8 down lights (50 watt Halogen no need for transformer type) in my kitchen. Would anybody be able to tell me the best way of doing this please. I\\\'m thinking of either using 3 junction boxes and join them there or just more simply going from the first light to the next and so on...
