HI Nick. Yes you're right Shahina did write that about French doors. I was stuck on the bi-folds in to the Hallway looking slightly cumbersome. I'm was sure that somebody wrote about fire doors, but I can't see it, maybe it was a different post ( i read a lot ). Best to check with the local building control department as I believe your property is a top floor flat ( if the hallways leads to the stairs ), therefore, I think there are regulations that might need adhering to. This comes from an article at :- Arma.Org.UK " Replacement or removal of internal flat doors and internal layout alterations; Like flat entrance doors, certain doors inside your flat i.e. the kitchen door, or if you live in a maisonette all the doors between a room and your staircase, are also fire doors. Their purpose is to prevent a fire from spreading from the room it started within, to another room and to stop the fire and smoke preventing you from leaving your flat. As such if you want to remove or replace any internal doors or alter the layout of your flat in any way, you must attain building control and [the Landlords], so we can ensure that the work you want to carry out won’t prevent you being able to escape if a fire starts in your home. If the work you plan to do includes any work which will involve knocking or drilling a hole in any wall, floor or ceiling i.e. to install a flue or run any cabling, we also need to ensure that the integrity of the wall, floor or ceiling is reinstated. So in the event of a fire, in your flat, your neighbours or the communal area, that the fire and smoke aren’t able to pass through the hole into another part of the building. " The above may change what you can and can't have. The whole point of the false wall for the pocket door was that it was hidden inside the kitchen and therefore would not change the facade of the Hallway. Putting the false wall in the Hallway wouldn't work well in your property as it has period features all round. I put in the french doors that may or may not work and went with this as an alternative plan. Although you don't get the average 'walk room' of 1m around the little island ( you get around 80cm), the island is on wheels and contains two stools, so it's very versatile. I had in mind something like this, although i have seen albeit far more stylish ones available, just didn't have that much time to go googling! The washing machine is under the drainer of the sink. This gives you the impression of a more spacious kitchen as without the butchers block on wheels the space between surfaces is around 1.8m

Have you consider a Concrete finish?? These days these can be fabricated using "micro" concrete which is very effective , looks great and will not break the bank. These images are showing a concrete finish worktop:- If stainless steel "rocks your boat", then you can find plenty of commercial kitchen manufacturers that are making product for the residential world who work with 4 metre long sheets of material - for example - https://www.stainlessdirectuk.com/kitchen-worktops/ http://www.stainlesssteel.uk.com/pages/stainless-steel-for-the-worktop-covers-sector This company will give you a quick quote for your size - https://www.stainlesssteelworktopsuk.co.uk/product-category/standard-size-stainless-steel-worktops/ Best of luck with your project.

Hi Dan, Unfortunately I don't have photos specifically, it would most likely need to be bespoke fitted, but definitely possible if you did decide to go down that route. However it looks like you've recieved some really constructive feedback below, as Caroline has mentioned the 100cm rule around an island, most standard fitted units are around 70cm so if you had units on either side you should have just about a meter between if the width is 2.4m. As Nicky has suggested their space was possibly around 10ft wide its almost a meter more width than you have to play with, but as I say you should be able to manage it. Bare in mind opening the oven door into that space - would be a good idea to look into sliding oven doors to maximise convenience too. I am sure you will end up with a great design, you have a great platform here for advice! Look forward to hearing what you decide on. Georgie

What length for parquet planks?
Q
Comments (2)
That's a tricky one as traditionally, parquet flooring is supposed to be done with small planks however, many are experimenting with larger planks. However, it's worth considering your layout. For example, if the area is fairly large and square / rectangle - you can go for the larger planks (as you won't have an excessive amount of wastage and cuts) but if it is a number of different rooms with frequent narrowing of areas i.e. hallways and passageways - it may be better to stick to the smaller planks. Here are a few options that we have in these items (attached below). Feel free to get in touch on info@megatiles.com or through our contact session to discuss further. Hope this helps. Salma
