    I’ll be fitting some of the same floor you have, read your original thread on this, looks like it’s still holding up well

  3. Mine has high density 25mm insulation, hence the electrics aren’t hidden. Bit of a comprise between warmth and loss of size. In hindsight, if I’d have known electrics wouldn’t be behind the plasterboard, I’d have go 50mm
     
  4. I’m going foam tiles again. Worked brilliantly last few years so treat myself to some new ones ;)

    may go red/black chequer this time.
     
  5. if who done the taping and jointing was any good, sanding out a room (double garage size) is only a half days work at most... ya can get that down to an hour if ya get one of these.[​IMG]
    dont use it like the guy in this pic though! it has to be flat on the surface....

  9. A little but not that much. A centre stands leaves dents that can take a while to come out. Don’t really scuff or tear. And at £10 for a pack of 4 they don’t break the bank. Are insulating to a point and not bad on knees

  10. Are you aware of these type of tile cause a condensation build up if placed directly on a cold concrete floor?
     
  11. just build your own bench, super simple and you can spec the size and height exactly as you want it, I made this one to renovate doors

  15. Haha
    Nice bench btw:upyeah:
     
  16. Just doubled up by biscuit joining two pieces together, enough to give proper support to the old tongue and grove part of the door, the boards part is then biscuit jointed in the new frame pieces and the new frame pieces connected to the old frame with two 14 mm dowel rods per side, very basic but lack of joinery workshop means all done with basic hand tools .
