jonny, i´m on the stone-tec. but next one is 2013.. this year i think i check out the Marmomacc - Fiera internazionale di Marmo, Design e Tecnologie - Fiera Marmo. i was a few times on cersaie but this year i think i invest one more day and go to marmomacc.

think i will be in verona. will speak nearer the time.
few years ago i flew to munchen for a look in at beer fest and hired a car and drove down to verona from there.

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.

Nice one john, post some pics of the finished floor. Already looks awesome. Do you travel nationwide for your work ?

yes, lets meet in verona. i combined the cersaie every year if possible with a weekend stay on lago di garda.

here some pictures of a job i have not done but the architect asks me for a solution.
i think i send pictures to schlüter and gutjahr so they can suggest new solutions.
there are about 8 years old balkonies. three ones on the top getting restored. over 100 m². the owners don´t want tiles anymore but the integrated drain makes wood not possible because of the height. so the sceed has to be removed and i think this is to expensive.
another example why plastic mats and porcelaingres don´t works. normal adhesive don´t get really dry between the plastik and tiles.

if you work natonwide jonny you can do the job .

another great piece or work.
i really like jura. i know it is very popular over in germany. how much do you pay for 600x 400 per sq mt.
i probably only get to fix it a couple of times a year but strangely enough i too have just finished a big jura floor which i will post next week.
the teracotta looks great with grey grout.mine is still drying out

 

[rainsco]

thanks for comments.
yes tony, mitred corners.. now i know the description, thanks. like jonny says, its jura limestone.
there was 30x60 in the projekt.
cost pro m² für 30x60x1 jura gelb gebürstet(brushed) : 48,90euro + mwst . thats the price the customers have to pay for the less quantities. i can ask for 600x400 and bigger quantities.
