    Would you consider working abroad for a short period?

    Used to be a golden rule years ago never ever travel anywhere overseas at your own expense, if any company contacts you offering work then request an open ticket. Any half decent company would sort all your travel arrangements for you, if they're not prepared to then beware.

    My builder says epoxy grout too "inflexible"?!

    People say he might be trying to wriggle out of using epoxy, well he might be doing you a favour. If he's never used epoxy before then don't expect the quality job you want, you will regret it.

    Grout not uniform colour

    Had the same problem with mapei grouts for years ie drying patchy. Next time try giving the bag a good shake to ensure it's thoroughly mixed prior to using it. We have been using grout supplied by porcelanosa recently which is actually mapei ultracolor plus slightly modified by porcelanosa, we...

    Sand And Cement As Adhesive?

    When I started as an apprentice it was all sand/cement and your right it's messy, semi dry screed with a cement slurry wasn't too bad but a wet sand/cement screed with a peppering of Portland cement was dirty work. Then again it depended which tiler you were working with, some were a lot cleaner...

    Stone News: Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design

    Neolith Releases New Collection Combining Technology and Design
    Neolith presents Neolith Iconic Design, a new collection that transforms the language of surfaces by merging technology, design and art into a unique expression of sophistication and realism. The collection is the result of more than five years of research and development. It incorporates a groundbreaking 3D printing technology and full body veining design where the surface comes to life from the inside and flows continuously outwards, allowing for an entire volume with perfectly integrated aesthetics. With this innovation, Neolith redefines the concept of naturalness, achieving an unprecedented level of realism by creating a surface particle by particle, as if it were crafted by nature itself.​
