brick

My house is turn of the century (1900 ish) with cavity wall construction, both inner an outer being of 4" brick. I'm pretty sure when I get to it the old lime plaster will almost fall off and will no way be suitable for the 600 x 200 porcelain I'm planning so I'll be left with bare brick. I've...

Hi. First post. Fount the forum whilst searching for cutting tool hire info. I am currently building a new house and have planned a wet room in the main bedroom en-suite. Construction is block work and concrete floors throughout. My question is, do I need to tank? My builder/plasterer and...

Hi Guys This might be a really stupid question and excuse me if it is, but would black grout look silly with the above tiles? I think white tends to make them look a bit cheap, they are going in both my kitchen and bathroom. I think in the bathroom white would be fine with the white suite...

Hi guys, I'm finally ready to start tiling today and have made a staff marked with my tile widths and grout lines. It looks like i'll have only 40mm on one row that will wrap around to the adjacent wall. The tiles are 400mm wide...do you think 40mm is too small of a wrap around and would I...

Hi all, daft question time. As per title, I am starting a splashback tomorrow, the customer has supplied the tiles 300mm x 100mm to be laid brickbond style, no problem so far, they have bought 55 of each colour and would like to have them in a random fashion. How the hell am I gonna make sure...

Hi guys, I quickly knocked this up earlier this morning, the drawing is to scale and I have accounted for the grout lines by increasing the tile size very slightly. Do you think I have got this right or completely wrong? Could any pro's offer some advice to improve the layout? Any ideas with...
