Of course this entire thread conv is largely academic as the likelihood of it being fitted in this millennium is, well, erm, SLIM!

He will finish it before I put the last 6 tiles on my bath panel . 3rd year this Xmas. God I need a few days off, ( but no work no cash ) ?
Roundtuit Posted November 30, 2017 Posted November 30, 2017 Double, nay, triple check the direction-of-flow arrow. You don't want your bathroom decorated like a portaloo on a rollercoaster ride.

You don't want your bathroom decorated like a portaloo on a rollercoaster ride. So from a quick look and connect up it's a 3 speed motor with a "0.18m3/s nominal flow rate". It certainly blows some air out! Maybe not for the bog then, don't want the s*** hitting the fan.
Onoff Posted December 16, 2017 Author Posted December 16, 2017 In the spirit of Silly Season I'm going to let SWMBO and the youngest stick to-scale tiles on an mdf model to calc how many we need / where best to place then for cuts etc:

I knew that size rang a bell. It’s the size of the warehouse barcode labels we use: https://www.labelsonline.co.uk/code-39-barcode-labels-paper-40x25mm-bc1011&P.Height=13&P.LabelColourMaterial=523 1

I'll tile it for less I suppose you could use some of those 12 x 12 mosaic tiles, which must be 25mm x 25mm. I have some of those in the LBB, and I paid about 10p per mini-tile. Hmm. Last time at B&Q I had 10 cuts without charge. I must just have a nice looking fizzog. [Edit: It says 15 free here - new policy: http://www.trade-point.co.uk/services/timber-cutting/ I see they do MDF in quarter sheet size. So 4 of those into 15 x 40mm slices each can count. 4 separate videos on 4 separate occasions are acceptable.] [Edit 2 Well, @Onoff, Man or Mouse?] Edited December 17, 2017 by Ferdinand

My local B&Q is 8 cuts from memory and they’ve never enforced beyond that with me. I guess they have to have a policy in place to stop abusers of the service (and dodgy looking, limp armed welsh plumbers ) 1
Onoff Posted December 28, 2017 Author Posted December 28, 2017 Got further than I thought with the tiling and got the mirror on the wall! 1
Nickfromwales Posted December 28, 2017 Posted December 28, 2017 Bloody hell. I thought you were actually tiling then ? Some of the grout lines differ slightly, and your missus will go nuts when she sees that pool table ? 1

Onoff Posted December 29, 2017 Author Posted December 29, 2017 (edited) This is actually HELPING me never having done it before! The plan for the wet room corner, nom 1200x1200, was to have a vertical strip of mosaics to define the wet room corner and break the big grey tiled walls up. I'd also anticipated I might later need to add glass wings to protect the wc / towel rail from shower spray. Thus I put vertical studs behind these strip lines. Happy enough with this wall where the wc is going though I'll end up with some slim bits to the left of the wc. Thought it important to put the tiles symmetrical to the wc centre line. This wall will have pockets above the wc and in the wet room area. The shower controls will likely be to the right of the mosaics: This wall though, a few issues. As an aside this wall will have no pockets or shower components: Slivers up the right hand side and under the window. If I lost the mosaic strip and shunted the tiles to the right of the strip right, that would help but I can't really lose the vertical mosaic on the wc wall. I was thinking of cheating and trimming all 4 sides of the window in mosaics. It could change again if I mitre the corner! Going to sleep on it. Edited December 29, 2017 by Onoff
