[Old Mod]

I was in Hampstead at the weekend trying to get some final images from the Bookmatch job. There's still a fair amount covered up, but this is some of it.
Hopefully this link will work.

Superb workmanship and thought the video was quite professional aswell lol
But tell me this what happens if you accidentally chip/brake one of the tiles...
as I imagine the pattern is chinned then and the only option would be to throw yourself in front of a bus lol

First you get creative, and if that don't work, the bus is always a good back up plan!

You'll go far Marc, stick at it, you'll only win JOTY cos its taken you a year to do it

Seriously, that looks stunning, just a shame that 99.9% of people who use those stairs won't even notice it.

Thanks John, I'm humbled.
And of course as always, you're right!
On both counts! Hahaha

 

[White Room]

I doubt there very few tilers who could match that work Marc with those tiles and pattern to flow like it does.

As good as it gets

 

[Fraser Tiling]

Wow, stunning.
Like others have said, I hope the work is appreciated.
What size tiles were used?
Were they all individually selected to obtain the flow of the grain for the areas used? Or is it possible to achieve this with any batch of tiles?
Excuse my naivety but rarely work with veined marble.
Inspirational work.

Ah, ok, I did wonder. How many tiles make the full pattern set? I take it the pattern in the set continues when the new set starts?

Beautiful.

 

[Fraser Tiling]

Just looked through the porcel-thin range.
Some beautiful tiles, but the bookmatch is by far the most impressive.
What kind of money does it retail for?

 

[Old Mod]

It starts at £50m2 + vat retail.

 

[Fraser Tiling]

Wow, thats very reasonable.

 

[Old Mod]

That's not for the Bookmatch tho
That's a little more exclusive, but still not extortionate.

 

[Fraser Tiling]

Will have to show it to my tile supplier, interested to see what they say.

 

[GAZ5518]

That's about as good as it gets.. Superb job mate.. Hope you got top dollar for it.. Which it deserves

 

[Fraser Tiling]

Seems they already sell Porcel-Thin!
However they don't have a sample of the Bookmatch

They may do, they're not on porcel thins stockist list.
Maybe they're Thin porcelain, not Porcel-Thin™

No, I noticed they weren't listed as a stockist, will check again on the display, only had a breif look.

Do you remember the format sizes?
