    First ever tiling job without any help

    So I'm no professional, the pictures are more than proof of that but I am pretty proud of myself for my first tiling job without any help, especially since a lovely forum moderator taught me a lot of what I know :D This is in my bfs parents loft shower and was completed back in January :)

    When Was Ditra Made? And Was It The First Uncoupling Matting?

    First Tiling Job Not Going So Well

    Help to settle an argument - which first

    Hi, the arguments about tiling the floor before the walls, when using the same tile and your lining the joints up ? The floors about 5sqm, walls 25sqm 60x30cm porcelain. I would normally always lay the floor first in this scenario, as you guarantee matching the joints on both wall and floor. I...
