Hi Deano,

Looks good, but why did you not follow it round to the stairs?? There looks to be a lot of infill?

The design was don by ordinal style for the customer I just fix it as it is on the spec.
They have gone for a separate panel in the entrance as well. I think the border is to wide for the hallway so they have simplified it to make it look right.

what is that tile made from in the pic? Is it fired clay? The color looks to be all the way through rather than glazed, is that so? How much does that material cost? Retail? wholesale?

[The D]

Yes m8 you are absolutely correct I should have don it better.

 

[andy-p]

ffs i would never have noticed if stoneman hadnt pointed that out , must have eyes like a hawk.. so i ran my laser up the pictures deano and noticed your centre line from the hall and the ivs are 1mm out... :joker:

 

[The D]

Sorry m8 I will do it more accurate next time if there is one after the slaging off I have received for this one. I will be lucky to be doing 2 tile splash backs after this. :lol:

 

[pjtiler]

see!!!!!!! you've bloody upset him now

i don't think you lot realize how sensitive these brumy fixer are

now say your sorry

 

[The D]

It’s all finished.

 

[DHTiling]

Cheers dean..thanks for the pics.......

I think that it would have looked more effective if the surrounding field tiles were cream....would have made the pattern blend better.....

 

[andy-p]

good job deano..

 

[james]

i agree with andy p's little line- i don't pick em i just stick.
looks good and id be surprised if any customer would moan

 

[trev]

Hi Chaps,

Seeing as i started all this i might as well had some more pic's for your enjoyment and my ridicule:yes: but i want to learn more and you guys are okay:hurray: so please be gentle and constructive.
I must say that i ahd a lot of angles to fit in this :furious3:so did my best to keep averything symetrical

So here they are.......

As you can see a lot of different cuts but got over it as best i could. Client was happy and i had the nieghbour call in for a look and i will be doing their hallway next month. NO angles i'm pleased to say!
I will post pic's when that one is complete and hopefully i/we can see improvement since i started this thread.

Thanks to everyone who has visited and contributed, i feel we are all gaining something from this

Cheers

Trev the job looks gr8 it looks like it was a head scratcher with all the angles you had to deal with. Did you have trouble with the grout haze on those tiles?

It is funny how all the neighbours come out when you are doing this kind of work. While I was on that job I picked up another very small porch and another hallway the hall is a beauty. The woman came and said can you have a look at my floor I have all the tiles. She only had an authentic Victorian floor in bags and a piece of the floor to re design the pattern from.

Great post, Question, What type of ceramics do you use for goemetric design work. Is there a certain tile? or is just any ceramics?

 

[trev]

Mate, looks like it could be something to get involved with I must say i'm jelous (in a weird, tiler, sort of way) good luck. In reply to the haze on my floor, i had the door open and it was a very warm day so took a while to buff up.
