    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    Just looked through the porcel-thin range. Some beautiful tiles, but the bookmatch is by far the most impressive. What kind of money does it retail for?

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    Ah, ok, I did wonder. How many tiles make the full pattern set? I take it the pattern in the set continues when the new set starts?

    I just done something similiar a month or so ago in a grey 25mm stone mosaic. It looked hideous. The customer hated it too.

    Calacatta Bookmatch.

    Wow, stunning. Like others have said, I hope the work is appreciated. What size tiles were used? Were they all individually selected to obtain the flow of the grain for the areas used? Or is it possible to achieve this with any batch of tiles? Excuse my naivety but rarely work with veined...

    At last, the dream job I can retire on

    Replied to him Impish, rude not to. But wouldn't waste my time with a visit. Hello Mike, thanks for the inquiry, however I don't supply tiles, and only provide a tile fixing service.

    Which Slow Set Adhesive is Best?

    All details were posted on this forum. Basically left dark patches on the stone looking like moisture staining. Was an easy fix eventually with simple Grimex clean down, but after Ultra visited site, blamed everything apart from their adhesive, and left my customer with no confidence in their...

    Dry cutting porcelain tiles

    I have never given a written quote with my own terms and conditions in all my years of tiling. The thought of being able to demand quality of substrates, tile quality, charging for return visits due to tile shortages, last minute delays in starting jobs or any other extras you can think of would...
