First off, let's see some pics. If the grout is rammed into the corners and sponged back nicely you may not need any silicone. My current job has none and is looking much the better for it. No silicone anywhere, just CT1 under the glass.

Do you already have Makita / DeWalt / other cordless tools and chargers? If so, buy one naked ( do NOT go the the shop with the wang out !! ) which uses the batteries you have. If not, the big tool players all do one. Saw a guy next door to here with a beast of a DeWalt one that I think takes 2x batteries.(?). Probably the Flex-volt.

You will regret using charcoal I shit you not. It'll go blotchy and be harder to clean than the white. Noooiooooo!

Then let science prevail ( or is it chemistry? ) Spent most of my school days on my Honda CR125 ? Still did well enough in my gcse's to get offered an apprenticeship with two of the industry leaders down here though, much to my teachers amazement ( annoyance more like ✌️). ✅ I am on the edge of my chuffing seat. "Let the games commence!"

Would it be possible for us to maybe conduct this test ? Id say at that point this could be concluded, and anyone who wishes to buy one can, anyone 'else' can select an option that they otherwise feel more confident will serve them best.

You two will be banned if you don't pack it in. @Onoff could use the time to finish his tiles and @pocster can give him a weary-joints massage to relieve the 'tension'. .

I would never fit just a rainfall head, I 100% always compliment with the shower spray headset and riser rail. Othewise you have to go get a bucket of water to clean the damn shower. When you explain that to da' ladies they soon say "out with the minimal look, give me a handset too". .

Does the product, or does the product not have a current patent ? NOTE : There have been some requests to have this thread moderated. Until there is a breach of BH T&C's the content can stand. It's a healthy debate at the moment and will be of value to anyone else considering buying this product. If it is decided that a certain number of magic beans have been discussed, and nothing of factual content brought to the exchange to the contrary, then this thread will be edited back to whenst it came. Mods. In the meantime, let's keep it above the belt and factual. ?

No need for CT1, just washing the grout off willl do the job. You grout as normal packing every little nook and cranny, and then when sponging off you just rub it into the gap between the trim and the tile. Youll see as you grout that it's all you need. Just make sure the 3 degree benched tile is slightly proud of the top of the trim and set back away by about 1mm so you can get grout into the void of the trim / tile and you'll be fine.

Your a dick lol

I just used to turn the handset to one side, so it sprayed against the wall, and I waited the few seconds for it to heat up. Never got a cold arm

Not really. As most folk are used to an electric shower or a standard bar mixer / concentric valve where the business goes on in one place, then no. If people have been fortunate enough to be able to afford higher speed installs from day one then yes, it may well seem standard, but most have not. When I demonstrated this to my current clients ( who I steered away from B&Q and the 2 x new electric showers they were going to just replace as it was the easy route ) they were blown away, having been used to two utterly shit electric showers for a very long time they were simply unaware that there "was a better way". I very rarely remove concealed stuff tbh, and its mostly bar mixers or electric units, but then the good stuff goes in and the smiles emerge.

Stuck with the window and the soil pipe but it actually works really well. Loo roll stays dry lol

Sprays against the glass like every one should. I'll take a pic later.

All of the mosaic'd area is the sloped former. WC is tight but retrofit so best of what we had room to do things with.

Hot water tanks, Temperature and Legionella
Nickfromwales replied to ProDave's topic in Boilers & Hot Water Tanks
My thoughts, and practices are in line with that thinking tbh. Better safe than sorry. Mitigate against dead legs, eg I routinely promote a HRC if the customer has PV as its 'free' to run and when experienced by the punter they say they never go back to not having a hot return , and I make sure there is a means of 'boiling' the tank either routinely or by purge program. Its very easy to do so needs no speciality plumbing or controls, just an immersion and a cheap ass 7-day time-clock. -
1200mm is the smallest screen you can go for if you have a true wet 'open' area afaic. The ones I'm doing now ( 2 wet rooms same house ) are 1500x740mm ( window called the width ) with a 1200mm glass, open-ednded, and the upstairs will be 1850x850mm again with a 1200mm screen open-ended ( even though I told them to take it back and get a 1400mm to no avail. The 1500mm long downstairs former is mosaic tiled beyond the glass screen but is still part of the sloped floor. Ill take a pic later and that'll explain in seconds. I've set the mixers out away from the shower heads, as frequently mentioned here, and it goes down a treat with the punters.

Room for the table and the other 3 chairs

My company motto for the last 2 decades has been "Grout will save the day". Whatever you think you can see when on your hands and knees, diminishes rapidly when you stand up, but when you grout you'll wonder what the worry was. I STILL, to this day, do exactly the same thing, ( screw eyeballs up and think...."Eeeee, I could get two fag papers in there, shall I cut a new tile"....), but I've already been offered another wet-room off the back of the two I'm doing now so they must look ok to the man.

Get that done sooner than later as that leading edge is now very susceptible to getting chipped Grout float looks good............."You can do it, Deeds!"
