Tiling on diy sos

[Dan]

diy dos on bbc 1 now. Awesome tiling throughout and used them in living room too.

Take note of this.

Customers will want what they've just seen so suggest it etc ask if they saw it or whatever. Might get you extra work.

Years ago done a job for a Frenchman who said in France they do have tiles in their living rooms...

 

[Dan]

Had them in my own in 2002 mate. UFH of course. Opus Romano 4 tile pattern.

But I'm guessing loads of women are now looking for all of those tiles online and whatnot.

funny enough I've just got out of bath after a late shift and come downstairs and Mrs is watching it,,,,I saw those slate slips on chimney breast and thought,,"Hmmm, I do like that" 😉 ..I know Bri has done it, but Mrs Doug liked it on sos, so it looks like it might be a go-er 🙂

I liked the reclaimed wood BBQ area!

didn't see that bit, literally just saw the last bit of the walk through after job was done. Mrs said that they didn't have a tiler on the job??

My Mrs liked the kitchen splashback.

Just watched the end of that, smart refit!
I got fed up with seeing tiled living rooms in magazines and never doing a job like that, so I did my own 🙂
Not split face but still effective I think and it's brought a warmth to the room believe it or not.

Hex tiles with a pattern in. Nice.

Bathroom was good too but quite standard compared to the work we see on here. Hex mosaics in shower area.

Wonder if we will see some hex threads in a month or so.

Getting to like the idea of a tiled feature wall🙂

Who was it who did the brown one and their mrs didn't like it at first but went for it in the end? Not so long ago there was a thread on it.

strangely enough I've got a living room floor. 40m2, with ufh, to tile towards end of august,,, he's already tiled kitchen but not commissioned piped ufh yet, and yep, it's straight onto plywood to run through with the kitchen, needless to say I'm gonna have to throw in a few provisos..

Did you see the bit when they said there were no tilers on site......plumbers and chippies did it

No I blinking didnt!!!

So have did they not have any to do any of it?!

Must be experienced the tiles in living room around fireplace looked nice for the one shot I managed to spot.

I only managed see last 5 or so mins I think. Spent some of that posting this thread too.

Can we iPlayer this or what?

Unfortunately don't promote us very well, but we got joiners, plumbers and not forgetting the odd spread or two (some very odd! Hehe) on here that do outstanding work!
So they got lucky!

Yeah it's on catch up @Dan

Loved the kitchen splashback, my supplier has some similar that look like 3D, really nice. I did a feature wall in a bedroom about 4-5 years ago in Porcelanosa 90x30

Nick Knowles said it took 3 blokes, 2 days to do that split face fireplace. That's quite a long time! To be fair, it looked ok from what I could see, they'd interlocked the returns around the corners and it looked like it'd had a coat of sealer.

I wasn't too sure of the wood behind the bed going across the ceiling a little. Thought it would look best just up to the top of the wall.
Wood tiles on walls seem to look better than on the floor sometimes.
Not sure I could sleep with a 1.2 X .2 porcelain plank above my head :/
