Thanks for the very-useful reply. My compressor is a Clarke ZX500 with only 5cfm so maybe that is the issue. Realistically, I am looking for a compressor to use as a spray painting system, for sandblasting paint off old doors etc, for pressure washing @ 8 bar...

Hi I have an Clarke Air Compressor which I tried using for the 1st time today. It saysit goes up to 8 bar but only maintains pressure at 2 bar!!! Is this normal? If yes is it because the air tank is small? What size tank is necessary to get 8bar continuous output/pressure without waiting...

Yes that is something I will look at. The lumber liquidators product performed supurbly in the delaminating area. Which is great. however the cracking is so unsightly that at that point the delaminating was a moot issue. However, this is my test and I am going to test up to 70c which is what...

You are correct- I need to provide temperature data for the STRESS test and mm wood thickness. I will do that. But obviously this thread is not about warning me about what I can and should or should not do with my own floor-or whether uf heating is a good option- keep that to yourself. So stay...

Comments please from other people besides retailers/manufacturers. Thanks- please send me 2 samples of planks (small- maybe 24 cm each) so I can test the tounge and groove and I will stress test it in the same way as lumberliquidators product and post results here. Just an fyi that the...

Have you checked for leaky copper rad (or fridge) water supply pipes below floor level in that area? This could be your culprit. I have had rising damp on all walls and so I tend not to believe you have it in only one isolated spot in your house.... How big of an area are we talking...

If you want a result that is good looking, you'd take down the artex, and take down the battens, and stick up new plasterboards rather than fuss with having old artex stuck under battens that you will have to match up. In the end it will take more time fussing. One thing to be aware of is...

Hello. I am in the market to purchase a new floor. At the 5k bill I'm looking at, I am being very cautious. I therefore am looking advice from other peoples actual experience. The floor will go over carbon film heating situated on plywood subfloor and 6mm depron. MY STRESS TEST I obtained...

Thanks... does everyone concur on price and, how much time on average does it take to complete a room? ie. room size 20m2. 1 day? 3 days, a week? And, how many people do the work- 1 guy or a 2 man team? regards,

Thanks for your very helpful response

Forget it.. Obviously all efforts to teach you to be human has failed.. I'm going elsewhere for info.. like calling a manufacturer or two. You guys really do need to find some gainful employment during the day. How about at the local waste site, there are fellow mates just waiting to chat...

No problem, maybe this should have been asked then before ppl provided answers. I thought I stated that the absolute MIN flow rate was 7 or 8ltrs of hot water per minute. This is based upon specs of the popular steam shower cabinets you see all over ebay. Max up to 15. As far as incoming...

It just struck me that the problem is, the lot of you likely don't KNOW HOW to propertly respond to a post. So here is your lesson: QUESTION EXAMPLE: I need above 7l/min flow rate for my shower using the least amount of lpg / min, what boilers are my options ANSWER EXAMPLE: -...

Oh, and PS ---> Only a clueless person would recommend a 3k OIL BOILER SYSTEM install (3k!!) to run a shower and a bathtub in ONE bathroom. READ THE ORIGINAL POST!

Once again you guys are all complete Arses! I never said I didn't have heating sorted for the property! *Underfloor heating* has already been sorted, I left that out of my spec ON PURPOSE because it WAS NOT AN ISSUE I WANTED CONSIDERED. For those additional arses who READ INTO the space...

I think that 1-3 mm would be more than sufficient, the walls are not *that* off where the seams meet. I don't understand the question about what I want to achieve- it is plain that I want perfectly smooth walls. I don't need any special plaster damp proof or otherwise mixture if that's what you...

Hi can someone give me an idea or price range typical for skim coating new plasterboards which are already up? How thick in mm is a skim usually? I had my builder try taping and jointing but my walls are too uneven for him to get a good enough result where the joints don't show. I am within...

Is foil backed plasterboard suitable to screw directly into a brick fireplace wall and if so, does the plasterboard go behind the fireplace or up to the surround? My fireplace is a 1 piece cast iron combination wood burning fireplace. I worry that the cast iron will get hot and either...

Hello---- "ass"uming people- the space heater is being used IN A BUILDING SITE with no closed doors. Unit was run for less than an hour before smell became intollerable. Didn't even think that a "non leaky" space heater could be faulty I mean, it is just a fan and an oversized propane torch...
