Cutting Sockets In Glass Tiles

[Old Mod]

Doing a feature wall in 3 weeks, bin specked Webber setplus with AD250..
Specked off the tile shop, not fired earth I hasten to add..

Mine were Fired Earth Andy, had quite a chat with their rep Phill,
They only spec Keraquick with Latex plus, maybe it was just the range I did, but impression I got was that it was their glass ranges.
They've tested a few addy' s and this is the only one that they're happy to recommend. They've had massive failures in the past which has led them to testing different adhesives.

I'd use a white non flex addy then add sbr...some manufacturers then call it an S2.

Others would call u a cheap skate Mark! Hahaha

Mentioned that to the tile shop and all could say was "we don't stock mapie" what do you do?

Buy Mapei!
Buy their addy too if that's the same sort of deal I have with tile shops. But use Mapei if that's what they state. That's exactly what Phill stated to me. Thing is, if they have a failure, and u've followed their spec, I know for sure Fired Earth put EVERYTHING right. Including your re fixing price! As long as it's not your mistake of course!

Thing with this job is the tile shop that passed the job onto me only stocks Webber which they have already sold to the customer with the tiles, I am on a fixing price only and I get a lot of work from this particular tile shop so don't want to pi## them off by telling the customer they've been given bad advice. Sticky wicket indeed!!!

ok Andy this is where I eat my largest slice of humble pie!!!!!
U mentioned plastic backing and my thumbs took over before my brain engaged......errrrrm.... mine were Original Style! Ouch!
Sorry I've seem to have my fist planted firmly in my mouth right now!
Haha well who knows Webber may be ok but I'd still be calling Fired Earth at the very least. Then I've never had a great deal of success with them. I've done better sourcing the actual tile manufacturer and contacting them.
So sorry Andy if I've mislead you, which I have of course, but it was done with the best of intention

Haha...well my misses don't think so
Mark no need for humble pie mate, a plastic backed tile is the same whichever names on the box. On fixing price only I can really only use materials supplied, I have mentioned the mapie but tile shop insists I'm ok with the webber set plus + AD250 and Webber have also agreed on this, maybe it is worth a call to the manufacturer to settle any disputes

 

[Old Mod]

Totally with u there Andy!
Plastic/vinyl backed all the same!
This feature wall, is it a whole wall or just an integrated design within it?

Haha I don't need to say anything mate, you're not daft, u know what you're doing.
Think I've said enough in this thread don't u! haha well sounds straight forward enough, least u don't have to do a window wall with mitres! Haha bloody thing still gives me nightmares
Sounds like they've spent more on the tiles than the woodburner haha
Hope it goes well for you, and of course we'll be hanging on the arrival of some pics!
