Ground floor redesign - confused by options
Comments (24)Dosia_Konn Perhaps I could answer your query by explaining first what Architects do. The Architect takes the client's brief and instructions, prepares feasibility designs , cost estimates and makes Planning and Building Regulation Applications, negotiates with Planners & Building Control Officers on behalf of the clientdesigns the whole building/extension, specifies the materials to be used in the construction, specifies the quality and method of construction, provides detailed, dimensioned drawings to Engineers, Quantity Surveyors, etc etc, prepares tender documents for the whole project, checks potential contractors, invites tenders, reports and advises on received tenders, prepares Contract documents, administers the Building Contract, issues Certificates for Payments at appropriate times, inspects the work as it proceeds to ensure it conforms with the Contract, agrees Final Accounts with Contractors and issues Final Certificates to clients etc for payment, makes six month inspections, issues instructions to contractors to make good defects etc etc Interior Designers are sometimes, but not invariably, engaged as part of the Professional Team to advise on the design of the interiors of buildings, including colour schemes, fabrics, fittings and furniture, estimating costs, sourcing fittings, furniture and fabrics including floor and wall coverings. They specialise in these aspects of the building project but do not offer the extent and quality of services as offered by Architects who are normally regarded as the leaders of any design team and who are required to have considerably more training, qualifications and expertise in all aspects of building projects than Interior Designers have or need. I am unaware of the minimum qualification necessary to call oneself an 'Interior Designer' and would be interested to learn that. Some Interior Designers offer more than the normal service as mentioned above and if a client prefers to take that option that is their right to do so. Some draughtsmen do the same but I wouldn't recommend that course of action in this specific instance unless the particular Interior Designer/Draughtsmen shows himself/herself well equipped, experienced and qualified to do the job as well as an Architect....See MoreBathroom floors - porcelain floor tiles or vinyl floor tiles?
Comments (18)Porcelain is a tough tile which will not crack or break easily. they are very long lasting. vinyl is out dated and just doesn't look good. Your other option should be ceramic tiles. So it should be between ceramic and porcelain. I'd still recommend porcelain but ceramic is cheaper, that's the biggest advantage of ceramic. I bought these porcelain tiles two weeks ago, they look lovely. beautiful hexagon porcelain tiles...See MoreConcrete flooring options
Comments (3)Hi Tim, If you get very large concrete effect tiles you can create the look of a seamless floor, making the grout lines very narrow and matching the colour of the grout to the tile. Also consider the tile layout properly to place the joints in inconspicuous areas. It might be tricky considering the two different floor bases to use one whole solid concrete slab above even if it is microcement. I have seen microcement used on walls and it looks great, but I would get a microcement specialist to tell you if it is a viable option based on your two floor bases....See MoreFlooring options by bifold doors (sun and heat exposure)
Comments (13)We have gone back to the supplier who sent the video to their tech team - and they came back after two weeks to say it was a fitting problem, which was pretty predictable. However there is an expansion gap that ought to be adequate. It could be that there is a kitchen island on top of the floor that prevents the boards expanding - we are going to try and cut holes around the feet - but deliberately didn't fix the island as we wanted to allow the option to remove it. We bought the floor from our kitchen supplier, who we thought were a well established brand name :( https://www.howdens.com/joinery/floors/flooring/oake-and-gray-rustic-oak-luxury-rigid-vinyl-flooring-with-integrated-underlay-19m-pack-sdh3701...See Morejones
