down
The down of birds is a layer of fine feathers found under the tougher exterior feathers. Very young birds are clad only in down. Powder down is a specialized type of down found only in a few groups of birds. Down is a fine thermal insulator and padding, used in goods such as jackets, bedding (duvets), pillows and sleeping bags. The discovery of feathers trapped in ancient amber suggests that some species of dinosaur may have possessed down-like feathers.
i have a level sand cement screed floor and used Ardex x7r tile adhesive to stick down Dittra mating. It went down very well felt and looked good. Until my leg caught the corner of the matting and lifted it up a little bit, I then noticed that there was no bond strength between the matting and...
Just gets finished tiling this couples ensuite and gets the question could you tell us what you think of this work. Marble ensuite they got specialists up from down south to do work had to pick my self off the floor.
I know this product is unlikely to turn up in the UK anytime soon, but wanted other tilers take on it.
I was offered adhesive to buy (C1TES1) and it was almost half the price of Mapei equivalent.
I read the datasheets and found some fairly poor spelling and the incorrect use of < & > signs...

Hi all, starting a wet room floor soon, have a few questions I would like some help with!
The floor has already been installed by a builder and has Hardi backer boards down, running up to the tray, but will need levelling before reaching it.
1. Hardi backer is not waterproof, so how does self...
Existing floor covering is 18mm T&G floorboards.
If you had to replace some floor joists, and to re level some floor joists, would you:
1. bin all the floorboards that have to get removed to fix the floor. replace the floorboards with 25mm wbp ply and tile directly onto that.
or
2. bin all...

Hello
I am a DIYer and after a successful shower tile project set about tiling bathroom floor. Victorian terraced house, previous floor - exposed original floorboards. After research and consultation with a carpenter, I understood that the deflection wasn't bad and that I should screw down any...
I've just read a post and the idea of using a hot glue gun to stick them down sounds like a good idea but before that I was think about stapling some render mesh over it its about £25 for a 50m roll which is 1m wide so effectively it's 50sqm and its gonna add a massive amount of strength to the...

Grouting with a microfibre cloth.
I stopped using a washboy a couple of years ago.
I've now virtually stopped using sponges.
I'm using a microfibre cloth to wash down after grouting. I've used this method for the last few jobs and i'm getting great results.
I can wring out more water from the...

Hi Folks, VinceC here, just moved back to Blighty and, due to circumstances now looking to get back into fitting bathrooms, I found your forum (by trawling) and must give compliments on the level of info, the topics covered & what appears to be the genuine interest of the members.
TilerWorld.com appears to be shut down. Or being transferred to a wordpress free kinda forum, or something.
Anybody heard anything through the grapevine?
I lost a large job on price, the client who I've been doing other work for has asked if I can rectify the tiling that's been done as it's quite poor in places and the people who have done it have had 3 goes at putting it right. It's all been done wrong, wrong adhesive, no decoup matting, no...
Hi all
Got a concrete floor to tile just wondering if somebody could help me out with the prep. It has some glue or maybe bitumen on it on patches around 2-3 mm high. does this need to come off or could I get away with leaving it using a 10mm notch?. I have done a few tiling jobs but not really...

Just thought that I should stir up the northern folks after their winter hibernation with an article that has resulted
in many a comment.
Pity that I cannot post the article - your programme greys out the desktop file. Anyone with suggestions on
how to get around this.
