Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

[Dave]

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 ..

Hi jonnyc. looks good there . Jerusalem is not easy to cut. How long did it take to do?

sorry posted wrong.
600 widths x random lengths.
worked out at approx 10.00 sq mts per day sticking and doing cuts.
got a fairly large dual rail overhead saw so cutting not really an issue.

 

[rainsco]

wow! nice kitchen by the way. and what an huge cooking island!!!... 600 widths x random lengths are very nice! next week i start a jura limestone projekt bathroom and floors with 400 widths.
the floors look absolutely plane on the photos. can you tell me why do you choose the ditra? what adhesive do you taked? i think next projekt i try the kiesel MDM instead of the ardex x32

 

[Lukass]

most difficult floor I ever done.
Underestimate by a week too.

 

[rainsco]

nice and classic floor!

i finished my mondrian inspired toilet room. the red groat color was a long time not available. groating in diffrent colors was not easy. black and white groat color are retreat with renovation color.
i think its cool to do some graphics (union flag would be nice) with glass mosaik but the effort was pure rage.

 

[Scottell17]

Love this nice work

 

[Scottell17]

Some beautiful work here guys

How do I attach a pic?

 

[jonnyc]

just finishing an original antique terracotta floor from france on monday.
this has taken a while what with very long drying times and job being split in to phases as main work progresses .
this will be my entry for september jotm

Turned out lovely Jonny. Some beautiful work you do, would love to give you a hand for minimum wage one day a week. :drool5:

Quick question though: how come you're always able to get back to houses after they're completed and funished? Do you request to come back to take pictures or just snagging/sealing etc?

this job I had to do the first part on upper level so kitchen could go in. Still didnt get to seal or grout it though because terracotta took three weeks to dry and client wanted to move in straight away.
so i covered with building paper and let floor dry under paper whilst builder knocked through to lower level which was the original kitchen.
we then fixed that area and covered with building paper again whilst chippy /builder/painter did their work.
we come back to first seal and grout and need to leave sand/cement to dry for another week. During this time furniture gets moved back in , so we have to move it around as we seal.
On other jobs on this thread i have returned in some instances at end to take photos for new web site im creating.
I work with alot of very porous stones quite often from england and they can take weeks to dry, so in most cases we cover with building felt after fixing and then come back right at end to grout and seal, which is why you see on a couple of jotm entries i have submitted the near finished article.
this method can be problematic when someone spills something that goes through the paper and no one takes the blame.
many times because they are quite big jobs the floor could be covered for 4 -5 months and then you also hav to be careful about letting it breath with heating etcc

i´m looking forward to your new website! the grout of the teracotta fits great. it looks like the ardex zementgrau or pci sandgrey. a grey thats more brown than blue.

i groat solnhofner platten normaly in sandgrey. but now i have this jura projekt.

how would you groat it? jurabeige or sandgrey. its in kitchen and the entry. the jurabeige gets faster dirty i think but it looks more harmonious.


another question to the pro stone tilers. in this projekt i planed a bathtub covering. i made today a dxf and a joiner and friend of mine cuts it out in wood with his CNC machine. so with the wood we can co the right position of the bathtub.
now my idea was when i have the wood tamplate i can cut the cover in stone myself.
so does anyone can recommend me a machine that can do the round cuts and the elipse chamfering?
has anyone experience with little machines like:
Laser 4000 Kurvenschneider
or
Profilfräsen Master 2800 und 3500
or is it better to invest in a little or used cnc production-center and this tools are like toys?
i have a good stone mason but sometimes he has to much work or some projekts are to expensive..
here is a grafik of the bathtub cover:

Here are two floors I have put together, from reclaimed tiles from an old Duke of Sutherland house in Stoke-on-Trent. It has taken me a year to clean them in my down time.

 

[jonnyc]

what did you use to clean them and what did you have to clean off to get them to this state.
looks great and deserves to be shown in all its magnificence.
is size actually 1200 x 800 and there for could be used on atop step in front of house.

Hi Johnny, i cleaned them with acid. As for the size, that's the biggest I could make it out of the tiles I had. They are two different floors there. 1 is a Minton floor and the other is a copy of the Minton floor mades by T&R Boote of Burslem. The Minton tiles are a lot better quality than the Boote tiles.

I have sold the Boote floor. But the client wanted it to fit a front step and would not have used the Greek Key border. So I measured up and drove 2.5 hrs back home and I am now about to start to make a different floor out of the tiles with a new border to install on the step.
I have just made some hearth tile designs from some old tiles for a client too.

 

[Lukass]

Not the greatest quality floor tiles but I menaged to keep it 2mm grout joint.

Here's a small kitchen floor i've just finished. Travertine with a feature piece in the centre walkway.

[AliGage]

Nice Tony!

Here's a few pictures of my current project. Very small bathroom. A traditional style install, crackle glaze tiles, will be a nice cast iron radiator going in next week sometime as well.

 

[ishi69]

Job I've just finished today and then picked up another 4 prestige bathrooms and huge kitchen/garden room floor of the same customer. Nice work Ali I love that style of bathroom.

 

[AliGage]

I've not done anything traditional for a number of years so i'm really enjoying designing this one and how it's coming together. I can't wait to get the radiator in next week.
