Make sure you’ve the base wall well done in a good MATT paint
Basically it’s like painting by numbers
Nice on a feature wall
Or a kids wall
I wouldn’t do it on all 4 walls though
Did a pub in it years ago
But being honest most ppl paint over it within a year or so

Very fancy Dan looking at least

Ah now :ok_hand:

Is grohe that much better? It’s over a 100quid dearer. Is the other one complete shite? Also its a hard water area, havent got round to installing a water filter thing yet. Will that affect it?

Yes.

Possibly. The chrome-finish brass on Grohe products is far superior to anything else I’ve seen, apart from Hansgrohe. The temperature control is fantastic too. I’ve 3 Grohe showers here, and have never had an issue. I remember the plumber being delighted at the time too because of how straightforward they are to install.

Of course it will. A water softener really reduces maintenance on shower heads, washing machines, and dishwashers. You’ll also stop getting that hard water scum build up in showers.

Yeah I figured that alright. I think it is to pump water through the underfloor pipes. The child messed with the dials and I’m not sure what setting I should have it on

It’s a wilo.

He (or she) can’t have done much damage, it’s an electric ‘personality’ selector if you will. Each one of I, II and III are incremental power settings that you can configure in more detail with the button.

A good talking to would be plenty, no need of the wooden spoon on this occasion.

That looks like one of the new generation Wilo Turbo Encabulators. It’s a nice bit of kit. Instead of power being generated by the relative motion of conductors and fluxes in the old model, it is produced by the modial interaction of magneto-reluctance and capacitive diractance.

The original machine had a base plate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing in such a way that the two spurving bearings were in a direct line with the panametric fan. The latter consisted simply of six hydrocoptic marzlevanes, so fitted to the ambifacient lunar waneshaft that side fumbling was effectively prevented.

It must have set you back a nice few bob.
