    Topps 8mm White Marble

    The customer has also supplied Topps sealer too. I have no experience with it. I usually use Stain Stop even though it once nearly killed me. (Chemical Pneumonia long story).

    Topps 8mm White Marble

    No I didn't Bob, not sure if I agree with the practice of pre sealing either side prior to fixing, seems there are arguements for and against. I had an issue with limestone discolouring with extended set addy, a clean down with Grimex solved the issue after leaving the tiles for two weeks to...

    Topps 8mm White Marble

    Hello Guys, Thought I'd run this past you, I've got a customer who in his wisdom decided to visit Topps for his tiles for one of three of his bathrooms. After explaining to him how bad the Travertine he selected was going to look, and the different grades on sale, he thankfully decided to change...

    How much do tilers charge? What's the price per Square Meter?

    I'm based in South Bucks. Rarely price work by the metre unless very straight forward large areas on good quality substrates. I price on a day rate basis allowing myself ample time in my estimation. I quote for materials with an open end on adhesive quantities depending on quality of substrates...

    Still tiling in your 80's

    A bit of subject, but I was diagnosed with Housemaids Knee last year, given a course of steroids, followed by advise to take antiflams and ice packs, and would be ok after 3-5 weeks by the local joints specialist. Eight weeks after it started there was improvement, but kneeling even with Alpro...

    Tilers decision - easy and fast or difficult and slow?

    Vast floors on price is the earner, bathrooms with large tiles, decors, windows, boxing and ***** levels is the day rate challenge to make the silk purse. Commercial BCT 25X40 walls with 5mm joint 30x30 floors is the brain killer, and mosaics to egg shaped rooms are the ones you wished you never...

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    I asked one of the partners who own the company on friday if they sell Porcel-Thin, he nodded and pointed just behind me to a display stand. I briefly looked through the samples but the Bookmatch wasn't there. Tonight I got in touch with one of the sales staff on Messenger and specifically asked...

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    Oh ok, assumed it was paid for, great exposure either way. I don't know much about the market but assumed there was a healthy amount of competition, and the article was a paid for feature. Mapei's article on suitable fixing products combine to make a heavy theme. Good exposure though, and very...

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    Pretty sure, just had a flick through the TSJ, Porcel-Thin have invested in a large presence in there this month! Don't imagine that was particularly cheap!

    They definitely have 1200x600 but unsure of others.

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    No, I noticed they weren't listed as a stockist, will check again on the display, only had a breif look.
