Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

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 ..:thumbsup::thumbsup:

ok,i remember taking these on my 1990 mobile camera phone,you know the one,where you had to carry the battery on your back:yikes:.

is there any way to make them bigger? i did take them on my mobile and sent them to my email,thought i was being well clever:smilewinkgrin:
 
Pics of a bathroom sash window that I draught proofed and completed some renovation/repair work on. I really enjoy working in old buildings and this is one of the most enjoyable jobs (apart from tiling ofcourse:lol🙂

Work included,

removing sash both sashes from frame

Burn back paint on frame to bare wood

remove paint from face of sashes

tighten mortise and tennon joints on sashes

remove two panes of glass from top sash and reglaze with 4mm glass

Prime bare timber on sashes

rerope sashes and reinstate into the frame

install new brass ironmongery

Sash windows, parton beads and staff rod (batton rod in Scotland) had a groove routered into them in order to insert a brush pile to draught proof the windows. This helped to reduce noise, rattling and most importantly cold air. The windows now slide up and down with ease.

Windows will be finished of by painter.

Oh, nice one, I can relate, had to do that on a Cornish Cottage 🙂 just make really sure that painter doesn't paint them all shut!!! :thumbsup:
 
windows also had simplex system installed to allow bottom sash to open inward, this is also know as easy clean as it allows the home owner to maintain outer windows much easier.:thumbsup:

right here we go again.
1st and 3rd are granite,he paid £100 m2 to import them from italy,mad i tell you.

2nd and 4th are westland green riven slate in a orange house,the floor was that far out of level i had to use 28 bags of self level over 30m2. it dipped down at each point from the centre,the builder who did the footings and base said it was out of level because the kingspan sucks the goodness out of the concrete and shrinks it:yikes:

sorry not the best of photos,maybe i made them to large

Good luck with it 🙂

Did you know that in Germany the norm is for windows to open inwards? I still have trouble accepting why that isn't done here, and you can still have stuff on the window sills if you like because windows can open just just alittle, with tha axis round the bottom, so the top comes in a bit, but to clean you just clear the window sills and open them up fully, inward, and cleaning is so easy!!

I didnt know that, its one place I havent been to yet (probs due to my misses enjoying scorching hot beaches too much). If it was up to me all windows would be the same as traditional windows!

I do know that sash windows may have orriginated from Germany/ netherlands area but some people argue that it was the french who invented them.

I bet you noticed a big difference when you renovated your windows? I have worked on windows 100 years old and still working well, I dont think todays UPVC windows will ever beat that!

You get inward tilting sash windows in the UK too but they are quite rare.

It's not sash windows in Germany I was talking about, all window, no matter what design really, all just open inwards... so much more logical... and you also have set in the wall roll down shutters people use all the time, against cold, hailstone, sun, controlled either by remote control or by a pull belt inside next to the window ... the shutter boxes are not visible from the outside.

As to the satisfaction with the windows renovation, it was all great, really, it was a grade 2 listed cottage so everything had to be really spot on, and it was... 🙂

I must say that back lawn is in better shape this year for not letting the hens decimate it again!:lol:

...just need to sort out the difference in riser levels on steps now, as originally ffl was gonna be a couple of inches lower, but should be able to sort that out with some thicker flags on first tread and a thinner one on middle tread:thumbsup:
 
from the mouths of babes..... I'd run out of glazing packers to ensure even gaps and was wondering what else I could use when Harrison (aged 5) said... "Why not use tile spacers dad ? you've got millions of them".... good lad, I'd not thought of that!

I love tidy tiling... :thumbsup: - that pencil mark on the tile by the left doorframe - did that come off again? 🙂 And that toilet lid design, nothing to do with you, I know, but will that stay like that?
 
did you tile round the toilet and pedestal rob? it looks like it. i had to do that last week, first time in ages :mad2:
 
Some pics of the entrance of the house with the big gym, pity they have not uncovered the stairs yet:thumbsup:
