    Why Are Tiles So Cheap?

    If you think tiles ain’t cheap in England you should try buying in Ireland. I was quoted over €1100 for less than 3sqm of floor tile. They told me they were expensive because they were hand made. LOL I found the exact same tile on a spanish website for 350. I ended up getting the tiles shipped...

    Slope for Wet Room Floor

    Just like to say thank you for all the responses above. Much appreciated. The tiles arrived on a pallet yesterday. Nervous few minutes checking and counting them all out but zero damage and they threw in a few extra for free. Builders should be starting work within a couple of weeks but tile...

    Slope for Wet Room Floor

    Thanks for all the pointers. There is good head room so not much restriction on height that screen can be so I just have to make sure it’s tall enough. I reckon I can assess that. Re flow: I was thinking I would need 20mm per metre fall but I probably need to check that also. It will not be a...

    Slope for Wet Room Floor

    Thanks for opinions. We can live with that. Do you think screen would have to go all the way to floor level. Visually I would prefer a screen that would be supported on legs about 10cm high and also sit slightly proud from the wall. Ideally I could find a foldable one supported only at the...

    Slope for Wet Room Floor

    I posted on this in the main forum but responses although gratefully received are fairly slow coming and I need to make decisions quite soon. Below is a diagram for my bathroom renovation. New stud walls being erected and new concrete floor. Question: Will the slope shown for the tiled floor...

    Tile Choice for Small Wet Room Floor

    Thank you for the reply. Yes the tiles are described as an extruded porcelain tile. I think I'm getting my head around this now. I'm planning for a green border tile which would have the advantage that I could put the linear drain in the border. Just wondering if I have enough width in the...

    Here is the rough layout of the room. Dimensions are approximate as the stud walls haven't been put up yet.

    Tile Choice for Small Wet Room Floor

    Paul, thanks for the reply. It's not too late as no work has begun yet and nothing ordered or paid for. Am completely open to tiling suggestions also but am a bit bamboozled by all the choices. I'm not really a fan of envelope cuts either. All those oblique lines spoiling the geometry. When...

    Tile Choice for Small Wet Room Floor

    Hi folks, I am having a downstairs small bathroom completely renovated. There will be a new concrete floor going in. There will be a toilet, sink and shower. The shower area will be about 1200x900mm. The whole room will be about 2700x900mm so the shower fits nicely at one end, sink & toilet at...

    Tile Choice for Kitchen Floor

    Thanks. Yes have been looking at those. There is an incredible choice available now vs 10 years ago in all types of tile. I suppose I was just wondering if there were particular examples that worked well alongside a victorian tiled hallway. I’m thinking I should steer clear of elaborate design...

    Tile Choice for Kitchen Floor

    In the photo attached I want to put down a new floor in the kitchen off the hallway. Currently there is lino there. I'd like to put down something that won't look awful with the Victorian tile hallway. My first choice is tile, although wood has been suggested that I would always have avoided...

    what happened to tilingforum.co.uk

    Hello all, What happened to tilingforum.co.uk. I posted there a few years back and wanted to post again as I got some excellent advice on a Victorian hallway I have. Can't connect to it now. Pity, as all the photos I loaded and advice I got back is gone, apart from what I had saved down. Some...
