My Self Build - Dorset
Discussion
It's interesting to see a different order of works between UK & Continental builders. For example, our decorating was all done after the tiling was completed.
Not sure it's been said before, but what's going on/around the 'fireplace' in the kitchen, since all the flooring's down already?

A tunnel gas fire goes in and then a fireboard false wall so that the opening is just for the glass tunnel. Then the whole thing is clad in stone.Not sure it's been said before, but what's going on/around the 'fireplace' in the kitchen, since all the flooring's down already?

Looks stunning.
Dont mean to be negative, but I wouldn't have had plasterboard in the shower zones, even if it is moisture resistant. Plus is there any form of Tanking between wet floor and walls?
No idea - some things I leave to the professionals without asking. I trust my builder implicitly and he's got a reputation for over engineering and the tiler is one he's used for years.Dont mean to be negative, but I wouldn't have had plasterboard in the shower zones, even if it is moisture resistant.

Hi Guys,
I spoke to my builder yesterday and he tells me we have this on the walls http://products.kerakoll.com/catalogo_dett.asp?idp...
And the floors are all being tanked.
As I said, I do not get involved in the details on some things as I know he'll do it properly.

All from Porcelenosa.
They are the PAR-KER Oxford range (which is a wood plank lookalike). The actual tile in the kitchen is PAR-KER Oxford Acero.
I also have PAR-KER Oxford Antracita in the bathrooms which I'll post pictures of when that's done in the next week or so.
Do you have the guts to tell us how much per sq/m you got these for? Would love to know.They are the PAR-KER Oxford range (which is a wood plank lookalike). The actual tile in the kitchen is PAR-KER Oxford Acero.

Unfortunately I cannot share - it's more down to the fact that my builder has an account with Porcelenosa and buys regularly from them and therefore gets a discount - but that's confidential between him and them.

That'll be fine if done properly. Menbranes are better but costly.
Front door is lovely! Urban front?
Thanks - I'm really happy with the front door. It's a custom build from a local joinery company.Front door is lovely! Urban front?
I love the Urban Front stuff but way too pricey for me!
