But I'd still like some ideas about how to…

Could someone let me know…

My tiles were $47 per sq m, so I guess they are 'cheapies from china'

Wouldn't it be worth sealing with a penetrating sealer? btw, does…

hi stormy
the tiles I've bought are polished porcelain but aren't sealed as such.
I left some water on one tile as a test for a couple of hours. Wiped off…

Is it difficult to use?

hi all
I've seen the 13w CFL downlights that claim to be equivalent of 50w output.

once again, thanks for the good advice.
Do you know if there is some kind of 'edge' tape that I could get to match whichever laminex colour I go…

hi earl
the T piece in the open shelf is just resting on the bench and the shelf is adjustable so I should be able to compensate for the 30mm benchtop…

Did you mean the complete right hand side or just the cupboards at the top, or just the 2 tall pantry doors? (incidentally, my plan…

I think it's a bit cheaper than the other manufactured stones around. Do you think the quality is any less?
I'm keen on the Turino colour which in real…
