I want to make a base for my wood burner from concrete and tile over. The wood burner stands on four legs and does not appear to radiate heat downwards. I have seen some glass mosaic tiles in a colour that matches my fireplace but have been told they may not be suitable for thermal reasons...
What is the best layout to use for wood effect tiles? Last time I did brick bond but a 3rd of the way up the tile. And I don't think uniform layouts look natural with wood effect. Would like to know what most of you do when the customer leaves it up to you to decide?
It's a 25m2 kitchen which...

Following a burst pipe I had Qty 10 bathroom floor tiles 'lift' due to a sodden underfloor that the tiles were no longer bonded to. I've removed the tiles and cleaned up the chipboard floor underneath to make it free of adhesive and to allow it to dry out.

Hi All
I have a client that has 100m2 of 600x150 wood effect porcelain to be laid on wet UFH.
The customer would like 1mm grout joints which I've said wouldn't be possible, I normally do not use anything apart from 3mm but could I get away with a 2mm grout joint for her?
I'll be quoting to...
