square

Hi there, recently purchased a Rubi DC-250 for two large jobs we have undertaken, upon a first test today we have realised it runs out of square over a distance? any ideas as there is no adjustment for the rail? It runs 5mm out?:yikes:

Thought I'd share my 1st square hole I did in this ceramic tile.. I'm rather pleased it didn't crack on me. Used a 16mm 365 diamond bit in each if the corners and then a carbide bladed jigsaw to cut out the waste tile. Lastly filed down the excess. It ain't perfect but the accessory would...

Good Morning World, I am looking for some bathroom tiles. Our bathroom was tiled to a height of five feet or so, thirty years ago, in thin square tiles, 4.25 inches / 107mm, and the handbasin, lavatory cistern and radiator mounted on top of them, so there's no going back. But we now have a...

I've a rectangular room of 37m2 to tile using 100x15 wooden floor effect porcelain tiles, which are of great quality ! I tiled the landing and hallway in a brick bond pattern, and was wanting to do something different for the client as they've given me pretty much all tiling decisions and...

Over the last few weeks I've been called out to replace singular floor tiles in a few bathrooms and kitchens. From looking at the dried adhesive patterns, after the loose/cracked tile was removed, they look as though they have been laid using a square notched trowel dagger than a u notched...

For the first time in my short tiling career I decided to keep tabs on how many metres I've tiled this year, a grand total of 1179 which is about 25 per week (taking off the 4 weeks holiday I've had this year), and I'm pretty happy with that. Does anyone else keep track of how many metres the fit?

Simple question which do you use square or round??

Hi guys (and gals). I'm going to have a go at tiling a 3sq m wc room floor. My issue is that I want to try and have the tiles symmetrical (as far as possible) but the room is far from square. There is about a 5cm difference in width between one end and the other. This is probably a silly...

Hi...help required please working out a price. I have 170 sq. m of the above to tile on a pumped screed. Dont need to sand floor, only brush and prime it, so no worries with prep. tiles probably wont score / snap cut so will need to wet cut them all, thus adding probably a day onto the job. Open...

Morning all! Had one of those middle of the night brainwaves last night that has got me thinking. When installing Ditra I usually back fill the square dovetail cavities with adhesive as I am laying the tiles. I have tried the technique of some by skimming the whole area beforehand, letting this...

Hi I have been working on a bathroom refit but removing then old tiles has become a nightmare. The plasterboard has given way and left huge holes, so I am now of the opinion that the walls need stripping, reboarding (some batteing may be needed) and then tiled in a plain white tile with a black...

hi looking for brushed chrome square edged trim in glasgow. anyone got any ideas if it even exists if so where could i get it

1) How I tile a house out of square , like on the first picture ? The entrance is at the small wall on the bottom. Obviously one can't use the direction of the door and square to it as reference, intuitively I'ld use the direction of the middle of the longest direction 2) How to clean...

Hi, I have just had to fit a new shower in my bathroom. Unfortunately I had to remove tiles to reroute pipes/cables. does any one know where I can purchase around 15 145mm * 145mm plain white tiles ? thanks in advance. Jason

Probably an obvious question but I am currently laying some 50mm mesh backed mosaics and am now coming up to the last wall which is out of square slightly on the right as pictured. Would it be normal practice to cut each tile from the mesh and space them out slightly more to accomodate the extra...

From what I can gather from this very helpful forum, to fit 10mm thick mosaics, I need a 4mm trowel. It seems that to get a solid bed, you need a rounded notch trowel or is that on the larger sizes? Most of the 4mm trowels seem to be square notched. Thanks in advance.

Hi, Does anyone know who in central Scotland stocks this? Cheers Paul

With tiles getting bigger and bigger (some large format porcelain tiles are now 800mm x 800mm) then how do you ensure a perfect fit for a plug socket, electrical socket or other item. Some installers grind out from the back of the tile. We hope to show you a neat little trick. This 90...

Have two 3 way mitres to do into my kitchen window/sill 3 courses high into the returns,i am using 9mm square metal trim,am i right in thinking the way to do it is to cut the two horizontal pieces for the external corner as a normal mitre and the vertical piece with square cut end just buts up?.

Arrived at customers house this morning to find dots of lipstick on the tiles I set the previous day. Apparently the customer want’s the tiles changed because the tiles do not have sharp enough corners. The tiles are Topps 30x30 honed and filled travertine @ £1.60 a tile. There are only a...
