Good home improvement content needs a steady research diet. RSS feeds, official guidance pages, supplier catalogues and practical videos can all be useful, as long as they are used as research rather than copied. This page is a working source hub for future Reality Blogs articles.
How we can use these sources
Freely accessible does not automatically mean free to republish. The safe approach is to read, watch, compare and then write original guidance in our own words. Where a source is useful, link to it. Where a video is public and embedding is allowed, it can be embedded or linked. Full scripts, article text and image sets should not be copied unless the licence clearly permits it.

Product and project inspiration
Supplier websites are useful for understanding categories, finishes, measurements and product language. Bathroom Warehouse UK is especially relevant to the bathroom side of this site, including baths, vanity units, commercial bathtubs and accessories.
YouTube and video research
YouTube is useful for practical demonstrations: extractor fan replacement, tiling details, shower tray installation, cabinet fitting, draught-proofing and room makeovers. For Reality Blogs, videos should be used to identify common questions, mistakes and terminology. We can embed a public video where the platform allows it, but we should still write original commentary around it.
Good video topics to monitor include bathroom extractor fans, small bathroom makeovers, walk-in shower waterproofing, kitchen cabinet layout, under-cabinet lighting, bedroom wardrobe organisation, loft insulation and draught-proofing.
