  1. Hi, I have a bathroom tub that sits on its legs but also on wooden support. How can I cover it? I don't want to tile around it. Thanks
  2. I have these EUR pallets already so I will need to improvise. I could put the 2nd pallet in vertical orientation to get to 2.4m however with the concrete blocks underneath I will be well over 2.5m limit. My structure is above ground.
  3. How do you think I should achieve this 26cm height extension so it is viable? Probably the roof will end up flatter so I can fit everything under 2.5m.
  4. This is the design of the shed based on the EU pallets. There will be EU pallets supporting the structure and the empty spaces I will have to fill in with some lighter pallets and cut to size. It has been adjusted to the PCV windows and doors I have. Same with the garden office where I have double doors and a wider PVC window. The size is the same as the shed.
  5. thanks for pointing this out because if I don't know this stuff then I have to look at these trims as you said. By the way what glass filters do you recommend? Should I just go clear glass? Also are there any like fly/mosquito screen doors system like they have in US? I reckon the hinges would be together with the main door frame.
  6. Hi All, Are there any leak detection systems for domestic use? I reckon some humidity sensors would make the most sense. I reckon to install them under the floor where all the pipes go to get notified as soon as possible. It can probably take hours before the humidity changes in the room which is already too late - destroyed floor. Thanks
  7. Should I drill through the window frame or try to go around the frame through the wall?
  8. Why? Bad experience? I could try to fit a window myself but not the doors. Too heavy.
  9. This would be standard swinging doors. Is there any brand in particular you would recommend? Should I order them myself and arrange the installers separately or just let the deal with it? I reckon the installers have their suppliers.
  10. Right Should I just search for any double glaze doors or are there any other things I should pay attention too? I understand in the UK there is several factories that make UPVC windows/doors on order for some local window installers but from factory to factory there isn't much difference. Or should I pay attention to some brands?
  11. ok thank you what about single large or two smaller glass panels? Do glass in such doors crack frequently? I reckon more often in doors than windows. If two panels then less glass to replace.
  12. These spiders come from the house don't let any more spiders in.
  13. what coatings do you mean? There is insulation on the outside. What about the glass. Does it make a difference if I go for 2 sections rather than a single large piece?
  14. Hi All, I have this old air brick for the old gas heater in the living room but this has been replaced with a 5kW stove and I don't need this airbrick anymore. There is insulation around this ventilation grate. How should I remove it not to destroy the whole think? Use the oscillating saw?
  15. Hi All, I am going to replace old wooden doors to my backyard and I was wondering if I should go for double or triple glazed does it really make a difference. I reckon triple would make these doors pretty heavy. The existing doors are W 80 x H 192cm. What would you suggest I should pay attention to? Thank you
  16. Hi All, I was wondering if these things can this be fixed? This seal is now broken and lets in a lot of draft into the house. Best regards
  17. Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I want to install 2 PoE cameras front and back of the house. I have two small PVC windows and I want to screw the cameras into the plastic thing under the roof. How should I drill a hole to run the Ethernet? Through the window frame or at an angle through the wall on both sides? Please advise. Best regards
  18. I have found a similar one at B&Q for about 20 quid. This transition trim is the only one I found that makes sense in this application.
  19. I have been at Wicks and Topps Tiles and they pretty much have the same selection of trims and nothing to do what I want to do. I will check at B&Q.
  20. I have checked and these ones are either 14mm or 25mm. My tiles are 9.5mm thick so I think the only that would match is Genesis one which is 10mm. It's definitely a stair tile trim not transition trim. I have not come across any more stair trims that the one you have shared so I think I order this one. It's out of stock in many stores.
  21. I have searched extensively hoping that these T trims are common but they don't. All T shaped trims are mainly for transition only and the one you found is for steps but I have not found any more than these Genesis ones.
  22. I don't think I can get T shaped one anywhere but online. I checked at Wickes, Topps Tiles and B&Q online but I don't see any T shaped ones.
  23. That was easy. LOL Indeed it's a T shape. It looks like I wasn't good at school, I managed to learn the alphabet up to L but not up to T.
  24. Hi All, I hope you are doing well. I have bought these L shaped trims however I see around the window that my tiles are not exactly flush and I don't have extra lip to compensate for surface undulation. Is there a trim that can cover these imperfections? e.g. rather than this: ___| something like this: ___| |
  25. I think I order some 50mm Celotex over summer. What is the best way to cut it to size without destroying the edges?
