old tile

I am looking for a tile that may be discontinued. But the box says MONOCOTTURE IN PASTA BIANCA 1200C ceramiche di sassulo. Any ideas will be so appreciated. Located in South Florida area.

Further to my other post re our hollow tiles issue It looks like our tiler has dot and dabbed most of our floor to accommodate tiling 800x800 porcelain over an uneven floor. The gap from defrac membrane to the underside of the tiles in question is around 20mm. The membrane sits directly on our...

To Remove Old Glue, Mastic or ?. OR to add Glue and Leave what's there in place? The plan is to replace the squares with 15"x 30" tiles. I am leaning toward demo, but am I asking for more trouble than one more inch of space and modern insulation is worth? I am guessing that if I clear the...

Total long shot of course but owner needs only one tile for a very exposed position and can’t afford to replace entire floor. Thanks in advance

I've had to replace an electric shower and have been left with a hole on a tiled wall in bathroom. The tiles seem fairly old and I can't see anything that matches locally. Size is 250 x 330mm and colour as per image attached. Tje hole isn't quite as full tile size. Just hoping someone knows of...

Hi, I've put down quite a bit of tile over the years but always worked with backerboard. I'm renovating a house in Florida (first one in Florida) that was built in 1996. It's concrete slab foundation and the tile was laid directly on the slab with what appears to be basic thinset. When I was...

Any one know what type or name of this tile? Were I can get a box or two?

DIYer tiling my whole house. Done smaller projects but in this I am concerned about the current use of tile and carpet and the transitions from room to room. Can I “build up” the carpeted areas once the carpet is out so that I do not have to rip up the old tile? I have attached a couple of pics.

Afternoon all. I'm just starting a cloakroom toilet project and i need some advice regarding old tiles. Having just ripped some old skirting off, i discovered that it had been bonded to some very old looking tiles that transition 90° bewteen the floor and the wall. Unfortunately some of them...

I have removed tiles from ply and obviously old adhesive is left behind on the ply. How much prep does this surface need before re tiling? Will the new tiles adhere properly if old adhesive is left behind?

I am looking for white beveled tiles to match some in the bathroom . Size 20 x 33. Can't seem to find this size anywhere. Does anyone know if they still make these? Thanks

We have just pulled up our old kitchen porcelain floor tiles as we are going to be laying new slate ones in a few weeks. The porcelain ones were laid by us about 4 years ago. They were very easy to pull up, but once up we noticed that the adhesive was so crumbly like a powder in a lot of places...

Hello all, I'm helping a friend decorate her new place on a very tight time limit as she's been moved at short notice by the housing authority. The flooring in most of her new place is old florr tiling with a sticky black adhesive residue on it, we are thinking that the old tenant had some...

Hi, I have just started my first bathroom refit - DIY on my own house! I had a bit of a nightmare getting the old tiles off though and want to know how to proceed. Basically there were two sets of tiles straight onto plasterboard. Looks like the original tiling went around the bath at waist...

We've started lifting the ceramic kitchen floor tiles ready to start laying the new ones (ceramic also). The problem we've got is getting the old adhesive up. Picture attached :hurray: The adhesive has a cement quality to it as it is hard. We've tried cold chiselling it, grinding it, hitting...

Hi, I have an internal concrete block wall that was tiled when originally built. A couple of the tiles 'lifted', off the wall, and when i took them off, the tiles next to them also came off!!! The original tile adhesive remains on the concrete block, and is tough to knock off, even with a...
