Pleased with grey Hexboard finish, although the reverse face was not smooth grey as promised but a standard dark brown phenol. Thankfully and by a stroke of luck the cabinets are black and not the normal white so the finished combination looks 'OK'!
The front panel on the dishwasher was pretty tricky and almost impossible to finely adjust.
Lighting is a bit disappointing, I decided that the space above the wall units was a bit dark so wanted a linear light, so experimented with LED tape. Very neat components but the colour match is very poor with a green tinge although the colour temperature is the same. May take this up with the LED supplier when I have a moment but can't see me getting far.
I need to come up with a neat solution to disguise the extract grille
The neatest solution would have been to rely on ballast to prevent uplift and horizontal movement but the loads proved too high for the roof structure. The only practical solution was to use ballast to resist uplift and restrain the frames from horizontal movement. Rather than bespoke metalwork off the shelf scaffold type components were utilised. Fixings were only practical at parapet height for weathering reasons and the top of the timber framed construction offered practical fixing locations.
