Understanding #washroom #zones - Washrooms are split into Zones 0, 1 and 2. Zone 0 is inside the bath or shower itself. Equipment in Zone 0 should be a minimum of IPX7, which means it has protection against immersion. Zone 1 can be considered to be the area above the bath or the area where shower water is likely to be directly sprayed. Equipment in Zone 1 should be a minimum of IPX4, extending to a minimum of IPX5 if the equipment is exposed to cleaning jets. Zone 2 is the area beyond Zone 1, extending by a further 0.6m, to a height of 2.25m from the floor. Equipment in Zone 2 should be a minimum of IPX4 extending to a minimum of IPX5 if the equipment is exposed to cleaning jets. Outside of Zone 2 the general rules of the Standard apply, but in reality virtually any equipment can now be installed outside Zone 2. Most washrooms, where hand dryers are going to be installed, will only have sinks as a source of water. Installation of a hand dryer around a sink needs to be located at a 0.6m radius away from any tap, which is classed as Zone 2. If you are unsure what zone you are working with, check with a professional.

SMOKE TESTS - KNOW THE FACTS There are three types of smoke test we are concerned with and these are detailed below: 🔥CHIMNEY INTEGRITY TEST This is for checking the integrity of a chimney. This is referred to in Building Regs as a Smoke Test 1. 🔥APPLIANCE AIR LEAKAGE TEST This test ensures smoke does not leave the stove via door seals etc. 🔥APPLIANCE CONNECTED TO CHIMNEY DRAW TEST This test checks the draw of the chimney following installation of an appliance (as seen in the video here) 👉ABOUT THE VIDEO This video shows a test we completed for a client. The test is completed to a new stove installation prior to use. This is a test to check the draw of the chimney. What do we look for? We watch the smoke for at least 30 seconds. If working correctly it should all remain in the appliance (or whoosh of up the chimney) with NONE entering the room. It is important to check outside that smoke is coming out of the top of the chimney flue. This is exactly what Damian is doing here !!!

I know, I know, I talk about this all the time. And yet… everywhere I go I run into loose toilet seats. How do I keep finding them? And I assure you I don’t actually go LOOKING for them. Reasons why toilet seats are loose: 1️⃣ Poor product choice. Specifications for toilet seats (and lids) should require the Fast N’ Lock system by Centoco Plastics Ltd. Set it and forget it. 2️⃣ Lack of maintenance. Checking and tightening bolts has to happen as often as cleaning the toilet does. If the bolts cannot be tightened, install a new seat or new bolts. 3️⃣ Not doing anything about it. I ALWAYS tell a staff person about a loose seat and I think that’s all I should have to do to resolve the issue. That's your PSA for the day! In case you're revamping a bathroom to make it more accessible (including a tight toilet seat!), here's the resource you need: https://lnkd.in/gdWZ-uXQ Video Description: Julie's hand moves a very loose toilet seat back and forth #accessiblebathroom #wheelchairaccessiblebathroom

Today's inspection presents a common kitchen hazard. 🏠⚠️ Anti-tip hardware keeps a dishwasher from tipping forward when the door is opened & racks are pulled out. 🤕 Also, during wash & rinse cycles, a dishwasher vibrates & can move. Without secure anchoring, those vibrations transfer directly to the countertop, causing stress ⚡️ that can lead to cracks over time. The dishwasher can pull away from the counter during these cycles, too. #safetyfirst

Consumer Verified - 'Transformed our water quality' Benefits found 6 months since installation: 👉The shower heads no longer have limescale build up which can block/divert the spray. 👉 The taps have lost the dull scaly appearance and remain shiny. 👉 The shower screens, which were difficult to keep clean (we used a Brillo pad every 6 weeks or so to clean them) now a quick rinse over and the glass is clear and feels smooth. 👉 When washing up, we notice the lather is less, almost non-existent, unless a large amount of washing-up liquid is used. 👉 Glasses washed in the dishwasher are noticeably brighter.
