Building a house in Trinidad

[matix]

Can anyone advise what whole house surge protector is best for my main panel?

My main breaker is 200 Amps and there are normally alot of surges in my area. I already had to do repairs to an ac unit and a freezer due to surges.

Any advice would be appreciated.

You can get this locally, make sure your panel has space for a double pole, full size breaker. Easy to install, clips in like a breaker and the wire connects to the neutral bar.

who have good quality dusk to dawn led lights ?

I have used a variety and the failure rate is too high
Longest lasting were satco ones about 5 years and one just crapped out
other brands last 2-3 years sometimes less
prices of them have gone up a lot too, used to be around $300, now they are closer to $500

I've actually been looking for this for some time. I've been to Mohammed's Electrical, Modern and Boodoos in chase village. None have this type only the one that mounts externally next to the panel which is rather unpleasant to see.

Any ideas where I could check again??

Was browsing Home Mart and some similar stores on FB, see some nice stuff re: SPC flooring and prices seem not bad p/sqft... Have an 18ftby15ft space was originally planned for porcelain tiles, but now thinking of the spc instead.
In a bedroom setting, heaviest furniture being the queen size bed, metal frame/ base, is it a good material? Hardly interact with this type of flooring much, but it feels 'soft' in my experience.

[pugboy]

it’s the most popular flooring now
taken over laminate flooring
the body is a pvc type material which is why it has the deadish feel.
it seems to be holding up but i am not sure the differences in hardness wearability between the brands.

[viedcht]

Yeah that durability worry is my concern, don't want to shell out $$ for spc/laminate only to go back to tile. And hardwood will cost me 3X because of the woodworking, and me eh have the dedication to that maintenance nah. Feel tile and done.

[pugboy]

lot of business places have it installed so you can check the wear and tear

With SPC you need to make sure your floor is perfectly smooth. If there are any pieces of mortar stuck to the floor it will result in an uneven surface and cause the joints to come apart as well as cracking of the planks

The planks themselves come in different qualities. There are some expensive ones with rubber backing and those may be your best bet

[pugboy]

the thicker ones are 7mm
thinner ones around 5mm

i bought some 7mm with the rubber backing
boxes were super heavy to lift

What's the cost per length of those?

[Strugglerzinc]

Tile Warehouse in chase village has a very wide selection of the SPC and...well... tiles too

[pugboy]

can’t remember but i got them by the place by warren rd off highway with the big sign advertising pvc ceiling

i recall the price was more or less competitive
it’s is a very competitive market
many persons selling

Have this installed going on two years in bedrooms, looking like new still. No signs of wear, nothing raising off the ground, nothing separating, no noise on walking.

Bought mines in Tile expression and installed myself. The floor was screened in sharp sand as the intention was to use tiles. But it was smooth and level enough to use this.

It is more expensive than tiles per sq ft.. However, it ends up coming out cheaper as you don't have to buy thinset, grout, or spacers and you don't have to pay any labour as you doing it yourself. Also no dust and much cleaner than doing tiles.

The only difference with tiles is than you need to leave a gap between the flooring and the walls for expansion/ contraction so you need to install some floor/ base mouldling to get that finished appearance.
Some people also use silicone/ caulk to fill the gaps.

Don’t like tiles, not sure how I feel about spc yet.

Anyone used concrete stain sealers?

Terracrete is one example.

Crete art is another. Check them both on IG or FB.

[pugboy]

the sealers aren’t very abrasive resistant imho
go check the pavement on ave
got scratched up and dirt sticks in the scratches

I have spc flooring in two rooms. Both installs were on tlile so the existing floor was good quality and level.

My son's room has had The flooring for three years and my bedroom for one.

It is holding up well In both and my son one get real jamming. It's crayons, paint, toy car tyres, all kinna thing and wipe and clean and it good.

My room below. There is a king bed, TV stand etc on it and it hasn't scuffed up.

[viedcht]

Thanks for the spc reviews fellas, tbh I already bought the tiles since August and have it park up, is rectified edge because I wanted one solid look finish but then saw the spc patterns online and they have some nice patterns locally. Not too sure exactly what I will end up doing as yet
