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 ..

think i will be in verona. will speak nearer the time.
few years ago i flew to munchen for a look in at beer fest and hired a car and drove down to verona from there.

Yes water fed heating.i will add ardion 101 to sand cement grout,but not very strong.
i have always been dubious about grouts being that flexible.
you also have to be very careful with the sp grouts that they don't stain more sensitive stones like Portland,Lincoln,baths tone and Cotswold.
i see a lot of problems where inexperienced tilers get supplied with sp grout for these stones and can't clean off face.

Nice one john, post some pics of the finished floor. Already looks awesome. Do you travel nationwide for your work ?

 

[rainsco]

yes, lets meet in verona. i combined the cersaie every year if possible with a weekend stay on lago di garda.

here some pictures of a job i have not done but the architect asks me for a solution.
i think i send pictures to schlüter and gutjahr so they can suggest new solutions.
there are about 8 years old balkonies. three ones on the top getting restored. over 100 m². the owners don´t want tiles anymore but the integrated drain makes wood not possible because of the height. so the sceed has to be removed and i think this is to expensive.
another example why plastic mats and porcelaingres don´t works. normal adhesive don´t get really dry between the plastik and tiles.

if you work natonwide jonny you can do the job .

bri , ive just started looking through the old posts and photos on this thread and there is some great work. was this car at damon hills house or was it his car in someone elses..ive recently been working at his old house that i guess he sold about 5 years ago so am just interested . he used alot of stone .

 

[rainsco]

finished the house today. the clients moved in and it was last chance to take a few final pics.

 

[Tony73]

oh jaaa wundebaaaa jerusalem stone and mitred corners?

 

[Pebbs]

Good clean work there, well done.

Pebbs

 

[jonnyc]

another great piece or work.
i really like jura. i know it is very popular over in germany. how much do you pay for 600x 400 per sq mt.
i probably only get to fix it a couple of times a year but strangely enough i too have just finished a big jura floor which i will post next week.
the teracotta looks great with grey grout.mine is still drying out

 

[rainsco]

thanks for comments.
yes tony, mitred corners.. now i know the description, thanks. like jonny says, its jura limestone.
there was 30x60 in the projekt.
cost pro m² für 30x60x1 jura gelb gebürstet(brushed) : 48,90euro + mwst . thats the price the customers have to pay for the less quantities. i can ask for 600x400 and bigger quantities.

 

[jonnyc]

put this job in for june job of the month .it will have a very good chance i think.
ill be puting my jura floor up as well if i can get last grouting done but it is not as interesting as your job.

field stone 600 x 400 x 20mm sanded /bushhammered portugese limestone

 

[jonnyc]

sorting through my photos to do a new web site.
heres one did last year.
1000 x 1000 x 15 mm balck porcelain.
anhydrite screed
ardex p51 primer.
x77g adhesive.
dliex schluter expansion joints.
this porcelain was very hard. used trade tiler montolit blade to cut skirtings . we could cut a 1000mm long strip 3mm wide with this blade . no other blades could get close

 

[rainsco]

very very nice! i like the wooden floor insert in the living room. can you tell me the manufactor of the tiles? (rak gems lounge anthrazit?) they look very nice and fit to some projekts i plan at the moment.
any bathroom pictures of this amazing house?

 

[jonnyc]

i can find out manufacturer of tiles for you but they were difficult to fix.
there was a big bow in them owing to size.
to keep them prisitine is an on going job as they show every mark and even footprints when walking over without shoes.
these tiles were not quite black but very dark grey .this as a colour is in at the moment it seems in uk and it throws up loads of problems with grout staining,
it was not polished either and stained really badly but got this off with a cleaner after many attempts.
overall it looks great with the decor and the architect richard gardiner was so good to work with.

he gave me a very detailed spec and layout drawings, which we adjusted together as the job evolved.
this is how it should be where respect and knowledge shared by both parties and we reached a nice conclusion i feel

 

[rainsco]

i know, you are a pci fan but take care if you ever use pci geofug on dark tiles. any kind of residuals can not removed by acid cleaners. especially you musn´t bring water for 7 days into the groat. in the aktuell "fliesen and platten" there is a report that says two or three change cleanings with acid and alkaline lotion is the key but i had a projekt there was not. i worked 9 hours in a bathroom to clean the tiles mechanicly with a epoxy pad by hand and scouring milk.

 

[jonnyc]

Rainsco

i didnt do the bathrooms ,although i was asked to.
thought my price too high.
they look ok , but not as good as i hope i could have achieved.
i dont see the point of posting someone elses work.
have taken on board your pci advice and will take care.
i actually still use ardex grouts , probably from habit but they are good.

 

[tobins tiling]

Here are a couple wet rooms I did last week hope like them

 

[White Room]

What was used on the ceiling pitch mate....

 

[tobins tiling]

Heres the other one

 

[tobins tiling]

Hello white beam do you mean before the tiles ?

 

[John Benton]

What was used on the ceiling pitch mate....

Looks like the wall tile

 

[jonnyc]

a local job with a good mix of stone.
kitchen : roche marron antiqued and distressed french limestone 140.00sq mts
orangerie: lincoln limestone antiqued
master bathroom: some sort of travertine 900 x 400 . never seen a waste in shower fkoor in corner like this before or since.
orangerie and kitchen stone stain stop and hard french wax /buff.

 

[rainsco]

amazing bathroom! you can print it in any bathroom design book!
colour, texture and format of the travertin are very nice. turkish? i like that format. i try to do more 40er instead of 30x60 or 30er broadlies(???).
the only thing i don´t like is the hansacanyon bathtub running in armature. ok, its a contrast to this crazy bathtub but i think a one in stainless steel like the rainshower would be nicer.
the glass partition is also very minimal and fine.
again a very inspiring bathroom. i copy the pictures and try to affect my customers in this direction.
never see such a bathtub before? is it custom made or is it more often used in UK?

 

[martin1c]

That's some truly stunning work you've done there John. Really impressed.
