Multiple rooms

[JIMBOB187]

Evening all.

Got a job coming up, spec as follows;

57.7 sqm travertine floor tiles. Hallway, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Customer wants the brick effect. I just wanted to canvass opinion on setting out and also tips for cutting around door reveals. I have done this many times but to be honest cutting around doors is not my strongest point, any tips or pointers in the right direction appreciated.

Hi Jimbo,

Without seeing an actual floorplan, it is difficult to advise on the setting out. Is this a single floor dwelling? If so, I would look to centre the hallway and work out how my cuts and lines fall from there on.

But, as I say, the bedrooms may form the main focal point so you will want to take a different approach.

As for cutting door reveals, just take your time to mark an accurate template on the stone and carefully cut with a wet cutter. If you've sealed the stone before marking and cutting, you wont have any issues with staining.

Good luck and if you can give a better indication as to the floorplan and stone size, I may be able to provide a better answer.

Take all the skirting off and use a fein multimater to to cut bottom of doorways off,this makes it much easier when cutting,also gives you a bit more chance to hide the cut edges.
