Dusty Concrete

A bit bewildered by the choices and price ranges out there! What makes a good quality laminate and what makes a good quality engineered floor, intended for living room and hallway? Does more thickness mean less prone to distortion? Was looking at an oak engineered floor in a well known diy shop's 's...

Best place for radiators

Seem to remember in the past being told that radiators should be fitted under windows. Is this correct please? Currently have two radiators fitted under windows against external wall of living room but for all sorts of other reasons including pipework access they would be better elsewhere. Would thi...
