    Resurfacing naff stained wood veneer doors

    Yes, I removed the glued on mouldings. You have understood what I'm trying to do, wanting to get a smooth modern painted surface to these doors. It certainly does look awful no matter how much I fill and sand where the glue was. You are definitely on the right tracks with the iron-on veneer...

    Hi, I'm trying to turn a lot of dark stained wood veneer internal doors into plain surfaced ones. The problem is when I take off the fancy decorative beading/moulding, no matter how much I fill and sand, the marks where the beading was still show through. Anyone know of a product like a...

    No trickle vents

    If you install upvc double glazed replacement windows in the bay of a bedroom, does it need trickle vents? Cant find any threads on this but Building Regs mentions 'adequate background ventilation of a minimum 8,000 mm2 must be provided for all habitable rooms'. Any info much appreciated.
