What about a piece of 40mm white L angle pvc bonded to the underside of the cabinet to give a white shadow then the reduced plinth in front of that ? That coupled with the white topped / veneered plinth should take your eye off it.

Ok, so is this contained to one room if only one is marked or will it also need to match in the kitchen diner? Are the kitchen diner thresholds level with the one marked ?

Don't forget you'll have white goods etc to consume any excess whilst the immersion kicks in and out. Pv isn't just for hot water, and during the summer / peak times of generation you will export and get paid for each unit you 'sell'.

Ok. I'll open that on the iPad later when you've updated the info ?

I think I'd want to discourage that from going through the drawers. Maybe just increase the cut to 14-15mm ? B&Q do a white plastic U section which has you can get to fit over the top cut edge. Easier than veneer and hard wearing too.

Ok so you left a purposeful 10mm gap all round so no specific draught at one point. Good way to deal with that .

Add as much info as you can. ?

But at least you can export that energy with Pv .

I've taken as much as a half inch with adhesive, but then I was getting 3-4 600x600 tiles laid from one 20kg bag. At that stage I stopped and chucked some self leveller down ready for the next lot of tiles to go down as it was getting silly. Popped the laser up and showed the customer the floor ran out 15mm from one end of the kitchen diner to the other, about 5.5m. Got just over half way before I stopped laying and levelling as I went with adhesive. I kept the floor running flat as a mill pond as I was running past the sliding doors to their conservatory and wanted to give a flush finish to that threshold. The floor was partially raised with insulation boards, for UTH, so the final levelling was just to raise the 15mm I simply hadn't seen to level, ( the builder who did the knock-through self levelled the whole area before my arrival, but just made it smooth not level my mistake for assuming it was done properly ). We really need to establish where this floor runs out in relation to reference points such as sliding doors and internal door thresholds etc before commenting further. Edit to add : the above floor could have followed the subfloor and just have had half of the undulation taken out if it want for the sliding doors, so only 7.5mm taken out rather than the full 15mm for eg.

@Barney12 Ok, just to better grasp this. Your rooms are to be tiled through from one space to another, room to room, seamlessly? Does the tiled floor run past several external / folding door thresholds, and have you established that all the door thresholds are all exactly the same level off a datum you've fired through the floor space ? Do you have a flor plan you can post with an example of where the tiled floor starts and finishes ? Saves a lot of typing. .

One of many Online calculators

I'd also screed and tank all the floors with a fall to the door so a running tap / burst pipe wouldn't cause any serious damage. Tiled all round too so it can be bleached and power washed.

I'd have thought lol. No worries about legionella / seasonal disinfection / purging then too. Easier to mothball it with electric showers and instants over sinks with no stored water in them.

I take it they already have / will have a chunky electricity supply. ? Electric showers seem the easiest solution.

Don't think it'll go on my roof rack

Now they do look cool. You could even have 2 of those and run them at lower speeds so extraction rates were high but noise was low. Good for those who like to cook and chat / entertain. Linky

Ok, that's not going to work. What stitches ? ?

What he said ?

In a nutshell, yes. Would be dependant on the type of pv diverter if you can cascade from DHW to the buffer.

Hi and welcome Mike. Sounds like a meaty project . Take a seat, the replies will follow ( and we have some damn knowledgable folk here too ). Any chance of a site map? Maybe some lurkers on here who may be near you / interested.

I sooooo need a shedshop. ?

Ashp ? That with a large UVC seems a no brainer, coupled with a buffer and just drive the Ufh direct. Re the wood burning stove ( WBS ), you can have one with a ph, just fit it outside . Why build an airtight low loss house and then stick a chimney in it ? ? With 6 of you consuming DHW I seriously doubt that the SA stack would be the best choice. Pump all the Pv into the UVC, and the winter won't be a problem you just boost off E7 / grid as necessary. Check out @Stones blog. He's getting some really good numbers back off his ashp.

@SteamyTea On an extension I worked on, the customer bought fitted wardrobes from Sigma. The fitters weren't exactly 'precise' with the cutting of said £11k's worth of chipboard and MDF ( lol ). My customer complained so much that one of the area managers called around and apologised. He then went on to further apologise that they hadn't responded quicker, and said that the installation manager was out of action. Apparently he had gone to another site, got pissed off with the incompetence of the particular fitter, grabbed the jigsaw off him and proceeded to cut the offending bit of wood freestyle to demonstrate that it could be done. He had such a tight grip that it was only when the carpet turned red and the fitters started shouting at him that he realised he had, I shit you not, cut through two fingers and was half way the through the third. These blades cut bloody quickly when you don't want them to. In my youth, when Dewalt first brought out the 18v skill saw, I, in my infinite wisdom, turned it upside down and wedged it in a workmate as a baby table saw, jamming the trigger on with insulation tape. Got about 3-4mm into my thumb before I noticed I was about to end my classical piano career. Soooooooo stupid, but also soooooooo easily done. Looking back I still shudder at my various hair-brained shinnannigans How I've still got all my digits is anyone's guess, let alone my leg which I nearly chopped clean off with a 9" grinder ( that was a close one ? ).

Still bright red too, and no plasters, upgrading him to 'legend' status amongst trades folk "The show must go on!"

The second you can confirm that, we'll make you a staff member .
