[DHTiling]

what are you tiling next week....anything unusual..

 

[kilty55]

a new moben kitchen,city ivory limestone 450s on the floor and bone coloured 150s on the walls with a gold and burnt orange glass border,,nice wee job

 

[DHTiling]

Sounds nice...JOTM one..?

 

[kilty55]

aye dave i will enter it,,got another nice one at end of the month for feb also..using these firenza cloud shaped tiles from ctd as a vertical feature so thats another to look forward too

 

[DHTiling]

Are those the pebble tile mosaic effect ones..?

 

[kilty55]

aye they are mosaic effect,,,like a cloud shaped tile with diff sized colours spots on it,will be interesting to see them up,using elegance range tiles with it so i reckon itll look good

 

[DHTiling]

I looked at them last week..nice tiles...I would use wedges on them and use a fine sanded grout..too wide a joint will spoil the effect...

just a tip..

 

[kilty55]

i was actually gonna post on these,,in the shop the entire face of the tile is grouted,,the poka dots are actually slightly raised on the tile but the whole tile itself is a gloss finish, so the only part of the tile showing is the spots is this the way it shd be grouted or as you advise with a thin groutline,i wasnt convinced the whole tile shd be grouted over

 

[DHTiling]

Yes!! you grout the whole face....they will look the biz....

Can't wait to get a job with them..

 

[enduro]

Nothing i hope, i want to do more restoration work.

 

[DHTiling]

[DHTiling]

Just done a Travertine floor with inset Gulfstone border.
Today prepared a bathroom for Travertine walls and floor.
Then 3 weeks on Heritage job in the wilds of Northumberland!

 

[DHTiling]

Sounds nice john...

What is involved in the Heritage job..?

 

[diamondtiling]

40 mtr Sandstone floor in a sub basement.

 

[DHTiling]

What sandstone is it Dom..?...Any tanking prep..?

 

[diamondtiling]

Its 1000 x 600, 900x600 and 750x550 sawn sandstone from a quarry in Halifax, its over wet UFH on a fibre screed, From the pictures I have been sent it all looks well prepared and has been down since middle of November. Slight variance in thickness of about 2mm so not a problem. Should be a good one. All tanking has been carried out by a building firm.

Its out on Hadrians Wall - 'a set of 3 old farm buildings'.
Only the second one done by English Heritage apparently.
Fantastic dry walling been done and the courtyard is in granite sets.
Me - (Us) - its 150mts of tiling inc.floors and 3 bathrooms.
Amazing thing is the inside is Stone floors and Hi Tech Porcelain in all bathrooms.
Good thing is I'am getting excited about it (sad or what?):lol:

Not at all mate....it's called passion for your trade..

Hopefully I am starting to rip out the kitchen and bathrooms on this job next week and start re tiling in natural stone in two weeks.

 

[doug boardley]

loads of jobs, but I'm struggling to get going at the mo, but sitting around moping aint doing any good! Will get started proper next week, a full tiled bathroom using Porcelanosa porc tiles.... hey ho 🙁

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Deanotile - That looks a nice property!
You can see why we work in a fashion industry!
Although most would consider those rooms fine - they are dated in colour and tile choice - and stone is in vouge Now!
Hope it goes well.

 

[Peter]

Got a 25m bathroom to do. Nothing else scheduled yet, all being well get something else sorted next week.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]
