  1. Get me some ratchet straps, some RedBull and some running shoes. I'll have it in before nightfall.
  2. There's a lot more work with a wetroom, but it's easily doable and is a very nice solution. I bought my last 1800x850 Wetroom former from Diamond. Very good tray and went in without a hitch. I'd fit a different trap to the one that came with it tbh so I know for the next job to ask for it to be discounted accordingly. Low profile trays are quick, easy and negate tiling. Cheaper too if money's stretched so maybe one with a tray and one as a Wetroom
  3. This is an infold door, just two of them. If you zoom in on the tray edge you'll see a chrome threshold that I butted up to the raised floor tile. That is about as frameless as you can get without having a Wetroom. Those doors came with the receiver that would have gone opposite so it could be fitted in an alcove. They got ditched and the square magnetic strips got switched out to ones which were at 45o. Both got supplied as it's an universal setup eg it could have also gone against a fixed glass side panel .
  4. HOW MUCH ?!? Ill be up tomorrow to fit it. I can have a month off then.
  5. +1. Your areas are not large enough to go 'walk-in' IMHO.
  6. The ensuite / bedroom door could do with being swung away from the shower, agree with AliG on that point. Couple of things to consider. Bifold ( or infold for the posh ones ) with for the 800mm one as hinged will have to open out wards, or hinged if your happy you have the space for it to swing open. The nicer infolds have a very low profile threshold, often just a chrome over brass strip which affixes to the tray to act as a drip deflector, so have a look at a few before you dismiss that option. A small fixed panel, say 500mm, and a 700mm hinged door for the 1200mm one. You'll need some sort of stay bar which will secure the open end of the fixed panel, particularly if the door is swung off that instead of the wall. Both options are available. Another thing to try having the spray aimed at a fixed panel or wall space and not directly at the doors.
  7. With most ASHP's heating Ufh in a slab / screed, I doubt if you'd ever notice the absence of it's input whilst briefly topping up / heating dhw tbh. The entire fabric of the property wil have warmed through too, so it's not just the slab that would be retaining / regulating heat.
  8. Pivot doors are the work of the devil, write those off straight away please My choice would be frameless & hinged if that arrangement works for both of your instances. I've fitted a LOT of various and differing shower cubicles / arrangements over the last two decades and the more expensive, frameless stuff is in a league of it's own. 8mm glass would be preferable for the bigger setup, but 6mm for the 800mm would be more than adequate. Can you post plans of the rooms and layouts etc so I can see how to best advise. ?
  9. Using an uncoupling membrane is basically a way of floating a tiled floor over the substrate. It's commonly used for display tiling etc and temporary installs.
  10. Yup. The little ones my mates use for charging the RC cars on the rally cross days out. This kind of thing .
  11. Small 'pocket' super silent generator? Can also be used for other tasks / charging so universal if the horse isn't phased by the slight noise of its running?
  12. Sod the heater. I'd have bought the video quite happily.
  13. Ashp's switch into dhw 'mode' upon demand. Upon doing so they revert to a predefined or max flow temp output to produce dhw as fast as possible. Modulation won't come into that factor and CoP goes south until the cylinder is satisfied. Solar Pv is your friend when you have a heat pump.
  14. Fermacell doesn't get plastered though does it? Don't over sink the screws in plasterboard or you'll completely lose the purchase of the fixing. Drywall screws are bugle head so as to pull the paper of the PB in without tearing it, and also all drywall guns have a good depth gauge to ensure this gets repeated uniformly. If your really worried then scrim over each line of screws and put two sets of skim over. Fwiw two walls in my bathroom both white boards, I know, and only one wafer thin coat of skim and 2 years of splashing, high humidity from shower, and no paint on one wall ( it'll get done ) and not a whiff of bother . Normal drywall screws set to regular 'depth' and it'll be tres bien Rodney.
  15. Pick out the internal reveals then, and hey presto!
  16. Uncoupling or decoupling? The former doesn't get bonded to the slab, the latter does. Eg one more layer of adhesive with a decoupler.
  17. That's what the Chinese ones do.
  18. Simple, you don't. If you want level you wouldn't buy a wonky tile
  19. Use that as the buffer between your ashp and the Ufh ? Worlds first oven with a CoP of 3.5
  20. Is there a replacement door going back in like-for-like?
  21. You can always grind the slab a bit if there are a few nasty bits kicking the tiles up.
