You can get custom made units to go above there that will match the ikea ones . I did this . More expensive but not hideously so . Let me know if interested and I’ll dig out the company I used .
It’s more BS
I had to do a landscaping plan.
My architect laughed at it and said bco would never sign it off.
Signed it off immediately- another tick box exercise.
Did bco every inspect the landscaping ? - of course not .
If we go integral it has to be floor stood . I do wonder what stops these from shaking the housing and worktop apart ? . Why aren’t stand alone washers made with such specification ?
Kitchen design stage !!!
My plan was to integrate ( somehow ) our existing washer under the kitchen worktop . I was concerned though about it moving and vibration . Are integrated ones somehow designed to avoid this ? ; if so how ?
My washer can move and jump around quite a bit when on speed …
Cheap skate . I used tile backer board even in the minuscule wc - just so walls are flat for tiling and I don’t need a trade on site for plastering . You pinch those pennies anymore your nuts will start growing inwards .
HiD needs to be given a break .
I built an entire blockwork wall used a string , spirit level and laser - paranoid about drift . 1st time is learning , 2nd time is practice, 700000th time is skilled 😊 . It’s fixable ; that is what matters !! 👍🍷
I’ll try them . Apart from the odd grandchild hand marks ( I find if I break their fingers each time they tend not to touch the wall ) - rest is from trades …. 🙄
Zinsseer tend to do good things …

This wall at the top of the stairs might aswell have a sign saying “ scratch me , dirty hand prints welcome“
I really want something that is durable to hand prints / easily wipeable .
But I want Matt as otherwise a ‘shiny’ wall might look odd if I go for silk or “bathroom “ paint .
Here’s what I used originally
