Think we have decided on the Bosch one as it can fit on the wall outside the bathroom. The Rinnai one can't! Question though, I don't know much about these…

Thanks. I actually spoke to the architect of the 2nd link and you're right, they used a topical sealer - Porters All Purpose Clear Sealer.

Onc_artisan, is it possible to do a penetrative sealer on a burnished finish, which I'm assuming is the finish in the links I put above?

Completely agree about the options, I try not to get lost in it all!
I really like the colour and texture of the second picture, I just have no idea…

Haha...I like the idea of choosing the greener options so the condensing one is definitely appealing. Bit off topic, where is your boiler in relation to your bathroom? We're a…

Wow, that's awesome!!
I was looking through some of the whirlpool forums and they were saying that the difference between the condensing and non-condensing wasn't worth the extra $$. Did…

We originally were looking for something like this: http://www.houzz.com/photos/1745651/Mil ... -francisco
But thinking it's easier to go with the natural colour...one less decision to make! So something…

Hello,
Trying to choose a gas boiler for our domestic hot water and I'm looking into the condensing ones. So far I can only find:
Bosch: http://www.bosch-climate.com.au/product ...…

I think we're going for similar things bridget! Are you putting a colour in it or leaving the natural grey colour? Whereabouts are you located?

That's a shame that your builder wasn't willing to cooperate! Did he have his reasons why?
Do you have photos of your floors at a light grind?
We have a new…

Wow sceen7, that vid was amazing! Got me excited to start build! So what 'finish' would you call your floors then? I'm struggling with the terminology...I have a very clear…

ooh, I like the second pic! It does look like there is a bit too much sheen though for the look we are going for. What grit has that been…

Sorry to hijack but I didn't want to start a similar thread! I'm trying to decide on the finish for our open plan living/dining/kitchen areas but can't work out if…

Ok I will take a look into that. I'm starting to think that we might not need insulation for the slab...based on this information...http://www.yourhome.gov.au/technical/fs47.html#where

Thanks for the response. Would you recommend any type of insulation? I need to let our engineer know, but I have no idea where to start!

We are laying a new slab and trying to get some more information about whether we should insulate it and if so, whether we need to do under slab insulation…

Just wondering what the benefits are, if any, of the home owner purchasing materials themselves. Obviously this wouldn't apply to materials which require specific knowledge or where the builder gets…

Hi,
I was advised to check out a Fulgo stainless steel drain for our courtyard but google is no help! Does anyone know what this is or where I can get…

Also, CEK - I may give you a buzz later today to organise a quote....

Bumping this - any recs for a cabinet maker in Sydney? We're in the Inner West..

Great topic...we are getting kitchen quotes at the moment and I'm not really sure what the difference is between going with a kitchen company such as Impala, or going with…

haha... I hope it's possible!!

That sounds exactly what we want ! Now the challenge of getting such a big screen into a 2.4x1.695 bathroom!!

Hi, just bumping this thread as I'm looking for a frameless shower screen fixed to the wall/ceiling/floor. It will need to be 2700h x 995w. CuttingEdgeKitchens - is the U…

Thanks rocketship! We did consider the video intercom, but it's really not necessary for us. I will take a look at the PSA ones. Cheers

Hello,
Trying to pick out an audio handsfree intercom, but not sure of reliable brands. Our architect recommended this Aiphone http://www.aiphone.net.au/db1md.htm but not too keen on the…

Thanks! Can you post a link to the photos? Would love to see. Cheers

This might sound like a real obvious question, but hoping to get everyone's input on what the role of a builder is. What is generally included, what should be included,…

The bathroom doesn't exist at the moment and will be built on a brand new slab.
Starting to explore the options of dark large rectified tiles with a thin grout.
