Comments (9)My sister in law has beige highly polished floor tiles and she said it was a big mistake. Every crumb, every footprint shows up and she’s always having to hoover and mop the floor. On the other hand my step daughter has wood effect porcelain in a Matt finish and it looks fabulous. She also has underfloor heating with them. I think you do need to bring warmth into the room and a wood effect porcelain tile or LVT would look amazing....See MoreOpen Plan Living
Comments (6)Hi Fran, Judging from the plans and photos the wall/columns are 100% load bearing. The amount of structural frame you will need depends on how big of a portion you want to open up. F.ex if you only want to open just the living room, you could probably get a way with one single beam. i you want the wall removed completely, looks to me like you will need some serious structural framing, including new beam/beams and possibly structural posts. Same will apply to the cost, obviously - the more you want to take out, the more you'll have to replace with structural frame, and the more it will cost. New sliding doors - again, the original extension has not been designed for larger doors, so you might need some additional supports to take the load of the new sliders. Costs: it's not easy to estimate a building cost at this stage - really depends on the specifications and design - the more accurate the building and structural design will be, the more accurate will be the estimated cost, and less unpleasant surprises you are likely to have. A good contractor should be able to give a very rough estimate of the full works cost, but never take it for granted - an initial estimate is often quite different when the project goes into the tender stage. Hope the above helps. Let me know if you need assistance with the design - we would gladly offer a free online consultation and advise some contractors/engineers to request a quote from. Best of luck, & hope you enjoy your building project! Andrei Kay Moden....See MoreConcrete floor in new kitchen extension
Comments (6)I don’t know the costs, but I have seen the odd horror story where the concrete has cracked, so you need to be very careful who you use to lay it. Another cheaper option is porcelain tiles in a concrete finish. Suitable with UFH and can be carried through to outside. Outdoor porcelain tends to be thicker at 20cm depth and more non slip than indoor porcelain. I used porcelain for my small patio (first pic). It needs a jet wash once or twice a year and it truly is non slip, even in the rain....See MoreJuliet Docherty
