Swimming pool job... All in travertine.

[DHTiling]

I have a job starting soon to tile around an indoor pool with Travertine copings.
Then i have all the small wall area's to tile with honed & filled travertine and the floor to tile in the same.

All the pool copings have to be bull nosed by hand as i cannot get double bull nosed ones in the uk to the width i need..

So i am going to use 30mm Travertine pavers( 60 x 40 ) and bull nose them once they are cut to size....

My stone supplier has obliged to help with this time consuming process..( Perfect Home & Garden - Introduction )

All edges to the travertine have to be softened, so i am going to bull nose them on site... and this includes all the skirtings.

So quite a lot of bespoke work to do.

I did originally quote to tile the pool but this is now being done as a package by the pool guys, they do the rendering and tiling.

Then i go in and do all the stone work.

So i will update the thread as i progress with the job.

So far i have levelled the pool sides and wall tops as they were a bit uneven.
