oh come on john!!
are you seriously trying to tell me that when you were knocking out all those disco moves in the 70's, you never once caught your high heels on a proud ridge of slate???

don't try denying it because i have the evidence? Please excuse the accent on the vid,
you will not be able to understand it because it geordie :confused:


This is pure gold! I don't even know Mr timeless but I could see big John strutting his stuff to this!

To the o.p, notice they aren't dancing on a slate floor....


Back to the post, slate is arguably the worst tile to use! Printed slate on paper mashy would offer of a solid substrate. I would personally walk away, I have lost count over the years to the amount of times I have recommended against something and the builder/plumber/ home owner has said it will be 'orite'. Sorry it's a no from me. It will be 'orite' until I am being taken to court for a bad job..... bye now!


£300 gained today is 3 grand paid back tomorrow, definitely not worth the risk. If you did go for it, I would draft up a waiver stating you recommend against it. Client said no and accepts any liability or claims against the work, as they didn't follow your prep work or advice....
