Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work
I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love. :)

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..:thumbsup::thumbsup:

It's something I've always wanted to try but don't know much about it. My plasterer that I get in from time to time is going to be doing a course on this.

Advise him that if he is doing it for his own personal pleasure then fine but if looking at it from business pov then do his homework first! take the price of the materials... 120 quid a tub!! There is only one supplier for uk and it all comes through him! There is simply no way round that issue as you cant buy direct from Italy. Then there is the market... no one has ever herd of it so they are reluctant to pay out for something they are not sure of. I know a plasterer from glasgow who done same course as me and he ended up packing it in due to no one wanting it, sorry to be so gloomy about it bc but if i could turn the clock back then i prob wouldnt have bothered. Never mind, maybe 2013 will be the year for it. Keep me in mind if you would like to incorporate some of it in to one of your ace bathrooms ;-)

I've seen loads of this type of finish.first saw it about ten years ago . They used to mix marble dust with x7 adhesive at the beginning and then waxes.then some one started bringing in from Italy. Armourcoat started to do a very short course.perocetti which was run by a crazy Russian countess used to get the big jobs and I saw a big job of theirs on abramovih first house when he came to uk. The guys were getting very good money but it is an art to get it right. I have had them come in after I have fixed a stone staircase to match the stone for the curved strings.

Yes, there are so many finishes to learn, impractising is the shiny one you see above(classico) i find this the most appealing. So what you see above is 2 x coats of carrera marble (slightly grainy) than another 5 or 6 classico (consistency of paint) then 2 coats of bees wax then 1 or 2 coats of parraffine wax.

I wont hide the fact i obviously started this via short course but i am not disillusioned like so many others who instantly errected a venetian marble specialist website with regurgitated pics of anciant itally as if it could even remotely be there own work, all websites are done by the same guy at the same place you get the training so they all kinda look the same lol. Och, if your passionate about something then i cant knock that but looking at some of the content on these websites who are apparently pros at venetion marble then i really do worry about there sanity!!... sorry getting side tracked, BC, id say do the course if you want it in your own house then take it from ther mate, you can get some pretty decent results using the autherntic gear from italy but it from my own pov, i can only be a master of one trade hopefully one day, i dont have the energy or enthusiasm for this one too, if a job comes along then i take it on but tiling is my bread and butter and also my passion

finished my solnhofner platten kitchen and entrance today. i like the contrast from the black shiny kitchen front. so the toilet gets black nero assoluto optik tiles i think that fits great to the entrance.

Nice work Richard! Did you re board all the walls?my only criticism is I would have centered the window,and not overkeen on tile trim with travertine!
Apart from that it looks good mate!!

i know what you mean with the window and it is the first thing you see walking in the room. but if you look at the tiling in the wetroom everything was centered from there i felt using the offcut to carry round the wall would get away from all the tiles in the corners being different shades of travertine. you can't see inside the recess but that was all 1 tile. maybe a oak window cill might of helped. but do agree with you about tile trim's customer wanted them. here's a picture of me not using trims IMG_7391.jpg
