light
Light or visible light is electromagnetic radiation within the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is perceived by the human eye. Visible light is usually defined as having wavelengths in the range of 400–700 nanometres (nm), between the infrared (with longer wavelengths) and the ultraviolet (with shorter wavelengths).In physics, the term "light" may refer more broadly to electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength, whether visible or not. In this sense, gamma rays, X-rays, microwaves and radio waves are also light. The primary properties of light are intensity, propagation direction, frequency or wavelength spectrum and polarization. Its speed in a vacuum, 299 792 458 metres a second (m/s), is one of the fundamental constants of nature. Like all types of electromagnetic radiation, visible light propagates by massless elementary particles called photons that represents the quanta of electromagnetic field, and can be analyzed as both waves and particles. The study of light, known as optics, is an important research area in modern physics.
The main source of light on Earth is the Sun. Historically, another important source of light for humans has been fire, from ancient campfires to modern kerosene lamps. With the development of electric lights and power systems, electric lighting has effectively replaced firelight.

Hi,
I have bought some light beige 600 x 300 porcelain tiles for the bathroom walls and floor. I'm not sure what colour grout to use as I'm worried about white grout discolouring on the floor. Would it look odd if I use white on the walls and a beige grout for the floor?
Cheers

Hi all,
Will I be ok using grey adhesive (Mapei Keraflex Maxi grey) to fix 10mm thick light-medium grey porcelain floor tiles? I will be using ultracolour plus 112 medium grey grout which is pretty much the same colour as the tiles. I obviously want to avoid any shadowing but i've been reading...

Afternoon all

Desperately need a minimum of 8 tiles to complete a project. Foolishly didn't buy plenty of
tiles at the time and now wickes have discontinued the range. Wickes code number for these tiles is 230130 and they are a pack of 17, 19.7cm x 29.7cm in size. Here's hoping that somebody out there can help.
Hi there, I have just had beige porcelain tiles fitted to a bathroom and left a section of around 15cm for some brown mosaics tiles to go.
They grouted the mosaic tiles today using Mapie 144 (chocolate brown) which I got and it appears to have stained the tiles a little.
He says that he has...
