answers | Hi Veena,
In my experience an electric chimney (60cm width) directly over the cooking hob is the best as compared to the extract fan. Earlier I used to have an extract fan & over the period the wall and the fan used to get extremely oily which is difficult to clean. An electric chimney on the contrary sucks out the oil fumes immediately and cleaning of the filter of this chimney at regular interv. |

answers | Commonly wooden planks/steel sheets are used for roof slab shuttering. However this always doesn't give a good finish and also needs plastering, which causes further problem of chipping away in a few years.An other alternative is to use Film faced plywood material, which would give an excellent finish and if done well the plastering could be even avoided and just a suitable painting could be appli. |

answers | Anurag,I guess your concern is to protect the marble floor as well against possible damages due to ladder, scaffold etc. Usually it is better too apply a layer of plaster of paris over the marble floor so that it protects against any damages. Cover the sharp objects such as ladder feet etc with a rubber sheet or thick cloth to protect against damage to the floor. The plaster of paris could be late. |

answers | For my proposed home in Chennai instead of traditional plastering of the ceiling slab, I am planning to cover this with gypsum board false ceiling for all rooms except bathroom which would be in aluminium false ceiling. The walls also would be plastered only to a height of 6 inches above the proposed false ceiling level (about 8 feet). The cost saved on plastering and painting could help me in us. |

answers | Nowadays you can complete the basic plastering and you can use artificial tiles of your choice which would provide you the exact look of a brick wall, with much better finish which has a variety of choice in the market. Just take a look at the samples I've attached.
