Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

[Dave]

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

---

---

---

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

Looking smart rainsco, very nice job

 

[Chalker]

Very nice!

not sure about the tray. I think a tiled tray would have continued the seamless look.

very good mitres.
what do you use to glue them?

 

[rainsco]

tray is customers choice. this customer lady has totaly fear of patina and dirt. so i groat the joins with epoxy in beige.

mitres are glued with akepox 2030. i mixed the color with fitting akemi color tubes. i tested integra which is available in 1000 colours but i go for epoxy because of diffrent causes.

i do a lot of jobs now with glued mitres.. its cool on stairs:

Your manual cutters are Karl Dahm what is the wet cutter???

 

[rainsco]

i have made a video for the stair action: https://vimeo.com/115015148

the dry cutters are not from karl dahm they are direct from my friend hubert kaufmann. http://www.kaufmann-tools.at/

the little wet cutter is a king cut. its a cheap osteuropean machine. i like it because its leightwheigt. in germany its distributet by www.prommersberger-werkzeuge.de

the long cutter is custom made with a rail and head from http://www.steintrennmaschinen-englhard.de/

the manual center i use in the video with a 45 degree cutter is from http://www.seelbach-international.com/html/maschinen.html
i think its a swedish product.

 

[On one]

I've hired the 1.25m cutter from my supplier and thats a Kaufmann, cuts like a knife through butter, might try one next time

 

[rainsco]

kaufmann makes espacially the long ones much lighter. i have a 90cm prototyp which is reduced in weight. release at the BAU fairy in january. i can post pics then.

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Nice film mate, Superb work on the staircase !

 

[Spud]

That is outstanding work as always Rainsco I love the steps
I have been doing some bathrooms with mitres recently but dont have the tooling you have
1200x 600 and 900 x 450 cut on site with a 115mm grinder and polished back with a hand polisher , filled one with resin the other with grout , just debating how to finish the last bathroom, how do you finish your mitres with glazed porcelain do you always sand back a 5mm bevel or do you sometimes keep them sharp?

 

[Qwerty]

Excellent work guys! Great to see this thread alive again [emoji106][emoji4]

 

[rainsco]

nice garry,

i don´t use the miller very often. i just use it when i have lot of stairsteps and can work at home. on site i use the wet cuter (for mitre) and sand the mitres exact with a 100 grid diamond dry pad to edge and then i use a aggressive 50 grid diamond dry pad to do the rest but not to close to the edge. if i don´t glue the mitres the tile is ok out of the wet cutter. if i glue the mitres i have to sand.

i try to get porcelain with a core in colour of the glaze. if its not, i say the customer just a normal groat mitre is possilbe or on stairs we have to work with rails.

here is a projekt with glazed porcelain. i mixed the glue from akepox grey/green with a white colour paste. the core of the tile is a little bit darker so i think i bevel it very sharp.

when you look at the wet cutter. the table is more than 45 degrees. and then i sand it to edge with the grinders. its supersave and fast.

 

[rainsco]

thats my site set up when i have place.. pics from the bath above are bevore sanding. i form the glue with a silicon , dont know the word in english .. former? the little rubbers.

Is that from STS by any chance John?

 

[Chalker]

Love the work in that tray Gary !:hurray:
Whats happening with a screen? I usually get a standard wet room glass panel, sit it place, mark the bath edge with masking tape. Then, get the side that goes against the bath, either etched sand blasted or, a colour coded backing to match the tiles.

Profilers...

the glass is being sat on the bath and cut in around the panel ,the company will mitre the corner and bond the corner , I haven't seen their work but by all accounts they are one of the best around

your work is always super

 

[Spud]

Profilers...

I tried the profiling mitre wheel and it's too slow and you can damage the edge of the mitre , tried it a few ways,first I tried to use it on its own it just is too slow that way , they I hand cut the mitre with a grinder then used the profiler to finish it but want happy with the mitre on glazed porcelain as it left too much on the edge so I had to finish them off with the polisher

Certainly is Pete, do you use them at all?

A few wee adjustments and yiu wouldnt have these thin pieces.

Nice job and very good video.
How do you get the wide angle?

I use a GoPro camera as it can handle the timelapses as well as the wide angle aspects too.

I like the video idea, never gave that a thought would be beneficial for decent small jobs as can never get far enough back to take a picture :lol:
