Is the smooth hose a festool accessory ?

No it is not. It's Flexo PET in Ogre color. I used 1" diameter 25' long + heat shrink on both ends.

What size would you use for a 36mm hose and cord

I used 1" sleeving for a 27 mm hose because I wanted a tighter fit. This stuff is pretty expandable but remember, as it expands, it also becomes shorter in length. That's the reason I needed about 17' of Flexo for a 12' (3.5 M) length of hose. I purchase a 25' length of Flexo and that is more than enough for the standard length Festool hose.

Really nice work!

I'd love to see the finished pictures - I've just done a kitchen for a client who wants almost exactly the same doing in their bathroom, and in a very similar layout.

Can I ask - did you consider using T&G effect MR MDF? That's what I've used in bathrooms in the past, it seems to me to be quicker & easier to fit, and more stable in the long term. If you did consider it, what were your reasons for going for the pine?

Not that I'm saying pine is the wrong choice, just a different approach that's all.  [smile]

Cheers Jonny ye I seen your Facebook postage kitchen looked great. I did suggest the Mr Mdf paneling  to the client even brought a sample but she wasn't having any of it, it's real wood or nothing in this house ha ha. The maddest part of the job was when I ripped the wall paper of from under the dado rail there was old pitch pine t,g&v on there already which someone in the past artexed if smooth and when see new there was lining she wanted me to scrap it back to the wood  [scared] [bite tongue]  which made me feel sick

Wel I get a phone call from the customer I did the bathroom for she is not happy with the colour of the floor  [scared]  [doh] like come on I showed her what it was going to look like with samples thank fully I didn't pick the flooring. But I think it looks great its so warm looking. Here's a wee tit bit for everyone I used Osmo polyx clear satin on the floor but I didn't even think of what wood o was putting it on that product isn't suitable for exotic hardwoods  [doh] so Osmo helpline told me it needs to be Wood Wax finish clear extra thin (1101). This was only its first coat. I think that's  why it looks blotchy so I sanded it back with 240 brilliant granite ready for that recommended finish Ill post a pic of it finished
