Not done this for some time! - Tile Advice

[Taylormade]

Started a job last week 40 sq mtrs around an indoor swimming pool. 30mm thick limestone tiles! Sized all 600mm wide in lengths of 900 800 700 and 600mm.
Client wants them laid up to the edge of the pool. 1st photo shows tiles laid to pool edge look awful and too sharp an edge for children. Told client I would bullnose them. 2nd photo shows end result apart from final polish. Used a 20mm diamond bullnose on variable speed grinder. Took a full day to grind and polish. Client well happy hopefully a little Xmas bonus on the way 😊

I did the same on a pool job a few yrs ago now. Pool coping’s and skirting tiles all profiled by hand. Then re-honed to suit tile finish.

Certainly gives a better finish to stone. Well done Taylormade

That's a lovely job indeed. Clearly a lot of extra effort gone into detail.

I often see steps like those on pools. They are neat and tidy ascetically pleasing, but in a pool the buoyancy factor has not been engineered into them, great when there's no water in there though.

Customer swill be well happy I hope. They really need to be.👍
