    Sigma Kera Lift, large format tile lifting system.

    Makes me shudder when you write about these large, dense, fragile, thin tiles. Brings back memories of trying to handle, cut and move a 3m x 1m thin tile on a wet & windy building site in the middle of Winter a few years ago. The first tile broke when the wind got under it and blew it away like...

    What size of tile cutter to buy?

    Easy question to answer: SIGMA SERIES 3 C2M MAX TILE CUTTER 74cm. I only tile upto 60x60 but you need a bigger cutter for diagonal cuts. The only exception to size is a wood effect porcelain tile which normally go upto 100cm for which I have a cheap 1mtr cutter off ebay. You know yourself...

    Tile trackers??

    Tiletracker only £59.99 plus £1 p&p @ Buy Suretile 2.25m Tile Tracker with Tiling Multitool from IdealWorld.tv I'm gong to give this one a go. I've tried Rubi stands and they make the job more difficult. A complete waste of money. I always tile the wall one tile up, then the floor, then the...

    First commercial tiling job

    Wow this thread has certainly gone off topic, who could have predicted how comment #1 would end up over three years later as comment #21 – Amazing, but not as amazing as Afright’s journey. This is certainly a case for keeping threads open and alive for ever. Afright, any chance of your...

    Slippery floor tiles

    They will need to have a 'slip test' done on the floor. Search for 'Marble Tony' on this forum. Tony's company does slip testing.

    mapei silicone

    I've found that Ivory silicone is the best match for Limestone. Limestone silicone is way too grey for limestone! However, I forget what brand of silicone I used - sorry.

    Advice on adhesive fault/failure please

    Zoeoutside, your location is England. North or South? Is your tiled wall inside or outside? Is it very cold where this tiling took place? Maybe the adhesive is faulty. Maybe the adhesive was not mixed correctly. Maybe it was too cold to tile........if it was below 5 degrees C then it is too...

    Sometimes you just have to let a job go.

    afright, that's why I put myself on a plumbing course a couple of years ago. I also cut down doors. I also overboard. I also have to cut outside (sometimes). I also have to climb up/down 3 flights of stairs with boxes of tiles & cut tiles. I missed out on a few jobs in the past when the...

    Re: wash boy- expensive bucket on wheels or good value, time saving to I use the Karl Dahm washboy, but I have started using it slightly different these days. I only fill it about 3 inches of water. I don't use the grill. This makes it lighter for carrying up/down stairs. It is also good...
