@tony .. nice classic design... waterjet or selfcutting? i try to sell any geometric or joint design but i think i have to go to uk.. here in germany at this time a diagonal floor with border is "too much" for the customers.

 

[jonnyc]

come off it rainsco. you bavarians are rolling around in money in your lederhosen!
ist one of the richest areas in europe.
that bathroom website you told me to google was out of this world.
im getting a proper web one designed now as my own looks so amateurish.

everything you see on floor is cut by hand (makita angle grinder and metabo polisher), walls cut with dewalt d24000 and polished with metabo polisher :smilewinkgrin:

i can't find the stone company that I knew specialised in old stone and terracotta flooring in munchen.do you know the one I mean. Maybe they shut down.they were going to start recommending me about 10 years ago when I told them I was Paris ceramics main fixer.
do you go to stone show in nuremberg .if so we should meet up.

Hi jonnyc, is the terracotta floor over ufh if so do you have to put an additive in with the grout mix you make up.

 

[jonnyc]

Yes water fed heating.i will add ardion 101 to sand cement grout,but not very strong.
i have always been dubious about grouts being that flexible.
you also have to be very careful with the sp grouts that they don't stain more sensitive stones like Portland,Lincoln,baths tone and Cotswold.
i see a lot of problems where inexperienced tilers get supplied with sp grout for these stones and can't clean off face.
