Fibreglass shower bases? Don't get me going on that G. No - we are on a slab. I don't like the look of FG bases in showers. I was just surprised with the "wood look". I have seen wood floor and thought I was on one ... Re showers - what is it with hobs ? I thought all showers were now hob-less and slightly down. But, G, Might have FB sealing ... Re: Wood flooring in kitchen 16Nov 25, 2012 10:54 pm Not sure of Lino, we had floating floors (Boral sydney blue gum) in our last kitchen and they didnt wear as well. The house we bought (1950s) had a reno in the 1970s and is tas oak hardwood throughout. Just sanded and polished. amazing indeed, very hard wearing indeed. i fear if you drop a knife or cup or glass, maybe the laminate or vinyl will just scratch? I guess it depends how thick the "colour" is. Good luck! btw, nice jarrah floors belial!

You need to go in and see it side by side. It has a few features that are better than actual wood too. Re: Wood flooring in kitchen 18Nov 26, 2012 7:52 am We have laminate wood flooring throughout the house, which includes the kitchen. We have a large open area (living, dining, kitchen), and I love the way the floor flows into each area. So far no issues about it being in the kitchen. I wipe up spills and I have broken a few things already without any dents or scratches. The only thing I see is scuffs from shoes, and they come off when I mop. So far the only noticeable dent in the floors is in the activity area where my cat knocked a very heavy trophy off the top of a tall bookcase. And even that gouge is tiny. Plus I'm pretty sure you can get filler for laminate flooring gouges. Hope that helps. If you want photos of the flooring in my house, see my thread.

We are tossing up between a Jarrahdale radiant wood fire (the Pioneer) and a convection wood fire (Innovator or Countryman) but cannot decide on which type of wood fire is… 0 5411 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5413 1000000% definitely add insulation. I have in my home and it makes a big difference minimising sound transfer. Insulation is pretty cheap and definitely worth it 2 6458 |
