Porcelain again

Great stuff.

Just to let you know that at Nichols & Clark they supplied the small black tiles which we used as a contast on the 600 x 300

Here you see the black tiles as a backdrop in the shower (the whole bathroom is in natural stone)

This is the black mini-tiles fitted as a contrast

Below is the tiles before grouting!

And after grouting...

I didnt have to cut up my own tiles because it was lucky N&C sold them
as a sheet of black minitiles in the same material as the big tiles.

Good Luck with your project!

Hi Richard,

Thanks for the photos. It is this sort of look that made me begin wondering what could be done.
At this point I'm thinking to cut some 200 x 50 strips to run up a verticle panel in the shower. I will, of course have to get approval from the creative dept indoors :smilewinkgrin:

Thanks again

Hi mate, good advice above. Just a point on the bevel edge, you can buy a diamond pad in varying grits, that works really well. Better than carbarundum. You can pick these up for about £18.00 from glass cutting suppliers. Good luck

Thanks again guys. Good tips.

I was already looking there for a wet saw, but that's another story.
