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 ..

another stone job in 2014. two bathrooms and a floor. import the stone from a quarry 150km away. get a car and drive 2 times. 3,5t material..

i parted the bathroom in 12 parts. so there are floor tiles in 105x105x2cm. i was on the limit alone. the customer wants to have the tiles on same level as the render so i cut it out. the wall stone is only 1,3cm thick and that was really stress to get them not broken.

1 of the long pieces broke but i glued it on the wall and sanded it. i´m has luck, its getting perfect.
its a crazy job. i was really fear of it.

Impressive once again rainsco!

Rainsco, hello there, you get some real good quality interesting work, keep posting its a delight to see it,
Are you working through architects that pass the work to you on behalf of their clients?

 

[jonnyc]

Rainer .more great work .
question for you.
we have just fixed 60 sq mts Jura blue or grey . The stone has a cloudy patchy beige look in background of stone .i have had this before but client is not happy.stone had twelve days to dry after being fixed with rapid set adhesive .
i have applied a Lithofin wexa wash/scrub which has cleaned some of cloudiness up.
do you get this often as well . I only see this with jura grey.to me it actually looks ok am I think it must be mineral content in stone.i know that this stone oxidises and changes colour from blue/grey to brown tinge over time . I know you use this stone a lot.what is your take on this. [MENTION=31983]rainsco[/MENTION]

 

[rainsco]

hi rossy, i always work direkt with clients. i´m not very suitable as a tiler for a architect.

jonny, i have wet spots on the jura on a bathroom. the spots are on the place where the wedi plates are in the under construktion. a kalk-cement render on the edge of the stone for example make this spots too. when i clean up the whole area with möller chemie http://www.amazon.de/Möller-Stone-HMK-Grundreiniger-säurefrei/dp/B009NWU7KE
the area dries better out and all dark spots are away (that was my luck)

there is a cruel method for removing dark spots.. by your own risk. take a finalit yellow spot remover (its for marmor).. the stone gets very bright but the survace is completly raw. its acid. you have to brush then the surface again.

[Old Mod]

Blimey Johnny that'll keep u outta trouble for a week or two! Well done mate!
Is that local?

 

[jonnyc]

yes local for me.
burwood park. walton on thames surrey

 

[jonnyc]

tell you what though!!
when you get big format i am seriously worried about square .
you cant see from the marble laid up to my 2.50 mt straights edge how acccuate it is .
but to any experienced stone/marble fixer of large size pieces 0.5 to 1.00 mm +/_ is concerning .

Good luck.

I can imagine, I've experienced probs like that when doing large areas that go around and then meet up again 3 areas later. The guys who cut seem to think that a mm here or there don't matter. I'm sure like me u've been and explained in detail that near enough is not good enough! Haha

i see your PLS is being put to good use!

 

[jonnyc]

marc . first real time i ve brought her out.
set her up against my two pls 90s and still read same diagonal measurenment over a 3m x 3mt square .
but the beauty of this new kit is that it throws the the square beam out of back of laser on both axis.
i dont think you can get a better bit of kit for this purpose.#
way things are going i will be hard pressed to justify my existence!!!
i only realised the benefit of this today.

haha oh I'm sure u add the odd idea or two!
I must admit I already don't know how I coped beforehand, and I like being able to put a tape bang on cross hairs. And with being able to mark 4 reference points around a room it's hard to put it back down in a different place and drift off line.

 

[jonnyc]

only thing i dont like about it is the legs it sits on.
when i mark two points over say a 6 meter run and then try and line laser up starting off at my end , it is very difficult to tap the laser to line up with mark down room.
the old pls 90s i have, i can tap very slightly and get spot on/
think i need to rough up the bottom of stems

 

[Old Mod]

i need to rough up the bottom of stems

So what you're saying is you're heavy handed! Haha yeah I get what u mean. It's very sensitive, I've been using it on glass mosaic floors and I've had same experience. And on glass so much as a strong wind blows it off it's mark haha
