I know this is a little late in posting, but I wanted to actually use it for a while before reporting back. We finally got it installed a little over a month ago and I'm so far very happy with it. We got the SHE68T56UC as I couldn't find enough differences with the 800 series that I cared about. It is very quiet, it fits way more stuff than my old dishwasher did, it doesn't dry things quite as good as I would like, but plastics are no different than the old one. The one drawback I do have is that my tall pot doesn't fit unless I rearrange the racks which to me is more of a pain than washing it by hand. Dishes comes out way cleaner and my glasses that had some kind of white haze that I thought was etching are returning to looking clear again. I only switched the dishwasher - not the detergent. It does take about an extra 40 min than my old dishwasher, but it hasn't bothered me as I can fit so much that at times I end up putting some stuff in and running it not completely full as there isn't enough space to fit more plastics for example or glasses in the top and the bottom isn't fully filled. I have yet to be left with anything on the counter to feel like it is taking too long to run so I can load it again. Edit: Forgot to add that I don't pre-wash the dishes except to scrape off large stuff, but DH does pre-wash, although he is starting to come around. So each wash is a mix of the two. Hopefully I can get a chance to test out it with nothing pre-washed at all, but I think it will perform well. I took the wash filter out to clean as the installer said to do it if things started to smell. It didn't smell, but I figured I'd make it a monthly thing just so I it wouldn't get there. There was nothing in the filter so really didn't need to do it. I'm sure as I go along I'll figure out how often it will need to be done. This post was edited by lyfia on Wed, Mar 12, 14 at 12:32

As long as you don't modify the fixtures themselves and connect power to them as they are designed (either plug-in or hard wire) you should have no UL concerns. If the complete unit is plugged into an outlet, not hard-wired to the power source, there should be no NEC issue. As long as the finished product is well built, the insurance carrier should have no problems with it.

The fixture is suitable for your house- if you choose to install it there. It is designed to accept two TYPE PL lamps of up to 42 watts each.

Be careful of LVP. It does NOT like direct sunlight. It does not like "heat" of any kind. Before you go this route, you will need to find out how much UV protection the windows have. If they have around 70% UV block then LVP is a great option. If you need 'in-floor heat' (I think that's what you were trying to say) on the terrace level then you are looking at a HUGE bill to add this to the building. Huge. Massive. It is possible the addition of in-floor radiant heat can add $10 (electric) to $25 (hydronic) per square foot. With a terrace level that's $10K - $25K MORE than what you would do naturally. And then you really only want to work with stone, porcelain, ceramic, etc. Vinyl does NOT LIKE heat. It really doesn't. As in warps and discolours and fades and does nasty things inside of 1 year. If you must have more warmth, then go ahead and add heated baseboards or upgrade your heating system (it sounds like this would be a good idea...if one section is too cold, it sounds like the system isn't working properly or isn't big enough or there are not enough vents). An upgraded HVAC system will cost less than in-floor radiant heat. Personally I like a natural wood colour. Like a white oak without stain. I would use a bit of a sealant to add a snick more yellow/warmth (not the super pale blond shown above). You can work with a high-grade wood so that you do not have a rustic feel. A natural/neutral wood floor is timeless - without being 'lodgy'. Palaces in Germany, Holland, France, etc all have natural wood floors. No stains. Nothing like that. Just wood with some finish on it.
