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 Ali, clean neat work mate with good cuts but why don't you invest in a multitool or fein then you can cut the arcs at the bottom and tuck the tile underneath giving a nicer finish and saves on the time consuming cuts .

 

[AliGage]

I would usually undercut and remove skirting. But, this is literally a brand new house. The young lad was on a bit of a budget and keen to move in asap. So it was Durabase and as neat aa i can on the cuts.

Got the bathroom and en-suite floors to do. Removing basin and ped as well as WC in them. Seeming as the splashback tiles don't take much getting off.

finished the travertin/concrete master bathroom . sink and furnitures are part of my suggested design and comes from my friends.

nice joints in the slope. do you cut all the small tiles?

yesterday i fixed only 9 tiles on a long day. it was not easy. the tiles have 14mm thickness and i have to calibrate the shower to one tile in the wide. and the alurail for glaswall later has to resessed. so i used ardex x32 because it can be used until 30mm mortar bed. (75kg for 9 tiles!!!) i floatet with a 15mm middlebed trowel and buttered with 10mm. sometimes more and sometime less. i take the tiles with a double sealed vacuum handle. without this tool it wasn´t possible to carry the buttered tiles alone in this height. it was mental not easy to trust this tool.
demotivating moment was when i set a tile and knock it with the hammer the edge touch another edges and "zack" a glaze springs away... so i later just knock it when i space them with the wooden wedges. on the tool pictures you see my custom made wet saw for perfekt long cuts until 220cm. i test the dry cutting with my 120cm kaufmann cutter and it was ok but it was not save brackage on the end. so i decided to use only wet cutting. it takes more time (15l water for 1 tile needed) but it is 100% safe and the edges are perfekt. for this projekt i bought a new drilling machine. my other one is limited on 40cm wide. for the 45degree cuts in the niche i use my little wet saw. crazy, such a machine park for only a shower!

 

[ishi69]

Hi rainsco, all the small tiles for the wet area have been water jet cut. Your latest job looks like another nice project. What size are the tile 800x800mm ?

 

[Tony73]

Here i have finished stage one: tiling and grouting. floor 400x600 slate tiles with mapei antracite grout, walls 300x600 calacatta marble tiles with mapei silver grey grout.
Stage two to come: template and fit 20mm carrara bath top with splash back and vanity top :hurray:

 

[mattle40]

[jonnyc]

terracing job including pool surround, bench seating and water feature.
i brought this brabazon limestone in from france .approx 500 sq mts.
main terrace 400 x random length x 30mm thick.
all steps cuts cut and finished on site from running lengths.
this stone is not that hard but amazingly durable. I have never had any real problems with this stone over last 15 years even with t he 3 or 4 really bad winters of last five years.

 

[rainsco]

wow! what a big project and very nice stone! like the stone mosaik in combination very much!

 

[jonnyc]

thanks . sorry forgot to mention the stone pebbles .
sub base was concrete.laid stone in sand/cement and adhesive mixed together in about 10-20mm bed .
adhesive used to back the stone and base
left channels out betwee
left channels out between stone for sheets of pebbles 300mm wide and then pulled thin screed between stone and set mosiac in adhesive when screed cured.

 

[Tony73]

That is WOW jonnyc. looks realy good

Here's a turtle I just carved out of a 16x16 piece of slate- The colors were all naturally there! This is the most colorful turtle I've ever carved!

 

[MakenaTile]

16x16 metallic green slate turtle
Same turtle looks totally different from an angle-
very dynamic stone!-
Both this and the multi-color turtle are thin down on all the edges-allowing them to be overlaid onto the surface of existing tile walls with marine grade 2 part epoxy.

 

[MakenaTile]

Hey Jonnyc- are the rocks around the planters loose? how about the strip in-front of the long pool couch- that's the runoff drain right? just wondering if they are loose or glued in- the ones around the planters look loose...?

 

[rainsco]

hi ishi, the tiles are 1000x1000mm but most of them cut to 850mm.
finished the tiling last week. the floor is cementscreed colorless sealed with epoxy. the ceiling is face concrete.



today i tried out the raifix system. (search google for videos)
it was a little restauration job. the whole house get new paint and this wall is a never ending problem. so i said to the customers i try a new mechanincal fixing system and tile this problem-wall. i use ardex X32 and the fixed the last set sideways. so its only one tile with is not mechanical fixed.
what do you think about this system? the dealer says i´m the first one who ordered this.
