I regularly fit inset mirrors, building up wall with hardibacker and using glazing adhesive/silicone, but usually in cloakrooms. I need to fit 2 in a wet-room/ensuite and think a demister pad would be good in this situation. My question is, how good a grip can i get with the demister pad between...

Went to Ideal Home show yesterday. One of the official stage demos was this guy promoting some tiling tools. The tiletracker looks excellent but at £160 way, way too expensive. I intend to make up something similar which would do the same thing unless anyone knows of a similar product at...

Have a 1400 x 900 wet room to do over concrete floor. Plan to mix strong fiberplan slc mix and create the straight 20mm fall over the 900 width.

Friend is building his own house, concrete floors, yet to have wet ufh and 50mm screed. To avoid waiting the 'day per mm' to lay floor tiles, is it simply a matter of a de-coupling membrane? Also, the ufh will be incorporated in the c/h circuit so impossible to control the temp as you would...
