The Tiled Kiosk (Turkish: Çinili Köşk) is a pavilion set within the outer walls of Topkapı Palace and dates from 1472 as shown on the tile inscript above the main entrance. It was built by the Ottoman sultan Mehmed II as a pleasure palace or kiosk. It is located in the most outer parts of the palace, next to Gülhane Park. It was also called Glazed Kiosk (Sırça Köşk).It was used as the Imperial Museum (Ottoman Turkish: Müze-i Hümayun, Turkish: İmparatorluk Müzesi) between 1875 and 1891. In 1953, it was opened to the public as a museum of Turkish and Islamic art, and was later incorporated into the Istanbul Archaeology Museums, housing the Museum of Islamic Art. The pavilion contains many examples of İznik tiles and Seljuk pottery.
Hello all. I’m looking for a tileable door approx 200 x 300mm for a stop **** next to a boxed in tiled toilet.
Any idea where I can get one?
Would be easier than making one myself.
Hi there,
I'm pricing a largish floor and the customer wants a tiled skirting. I've done these enough times but haven't really made a note of how many metres I get done in a day. Does anyone have an amount that they allow per day on average?

Hi,
Came across this very handy looking forum while building up to fit out a shower room out in our new extension. I have done plenty of DIY but never tiled.
Previously I have used a pro for tiling, but the budget is very tight so will have fit the shower tray, screens and tiles all myself...
Hi,
We have a new build and the walls around the bath are half tiled. We now want to add a shower and so need to tile the rest of the wall up to the ceiling. It is likely the wall is just straight plasterboard? And would you recommend we use a full tanking kit for the half wall prep?
Thanks

What kept me busy over Easter.
Few question arose - how does or should one finish around electrical sockets on such tiles ?
The grout did not appear to go as far as the bag suggested (I subtracted 15% from the 4mm gap numbers (gaps are 5mm) ) - 95% of a 5kg Bag of Mapei Ultracolour on just...
