Defensive walls in fortifications
Permanent, solid fences
Retaining walls, which hold back dirt, stone, water, or noise sound
Stone walls
Walls that protect from oceans (seawalls) or rivers (levees)

    Garage Wall Damp Patch

    Hi all, This is what the garage walls look like. Pictures were taken today. A couple of days ago the thick damp strip near the ceiling wasn't there, just the thin ones around the blocks, so it seems it is worsening.

    I’ve eventually got the pan installed on the frame! What a nightmare that was!! The frame and pan are Grohe. Just got a couple of questions: 1) The flush plate is quite bulky and stops the flush part in the cistern fully opening. Seems a poor design and feels like I need to pad the back of...

    Wall hung wc question

    We're looking to install a wall hung wc and hope to include it in a run of units. I'm thinking we can do it with a half height frame and normal concealed system. Can we do this against a stud wall or do we need a solid wall to attach the frame or cistern to? Also which makes do you recommend?
