oddly......I have been using Ardex x7.......great stuff TBH......the most white colured adhesive in the world........the slow set is fantastic.....but I find the rapid has too much grit in!........all the best...Lee

they work well.....but you do need to modify the panel some what for a "perfect" result!......worth the effort IMO.........

[Protilers]

ere' Turkish..............its great stuff....but boy oh boy is it expensive!!!!!!.......just a side thought! (oh and I am not paying for it.....the main contractor is!).......

 

[Protilers]

Cam low.......Those magnets were provided by GENESIS.......they are as good as a more expensive brand and are exactly the same IMO.......if thats what you ment?
and I have used them all!!!.....first time with GENESIS tho!

Evening all.........

I am still chipping away........here is what happened today......

first off I grouted up the rest of this room.......then I went upstairs and installed a small splash back.......but I did not take a photo....DOH......oh well,
then I installed the silicone in this room......:#

then it was off to the first floor...............:

probably....(but not definitely!)......I am going to install this next:

these are hexagonal Encaustics.....two different colours.....to create an "over" and "under" type pattern...............

the job time has been reduced from 5 weeks completeion and hand over to 3 weeks over night!!!!!!.......and I have a load of encaustics to fix in the basement as well!!!!!!...........

oooooooohhhhhhhh.......

all the best

here is a closer view:

 

[Protilers]

Evening all.......well the saga continues.............

I got an email this morning INSISTING I use 1mm spacers (the architect has contacted the company in morocco and they have never had a problem!).....
I don't know what the architect told them.....and I now have an email trial of advice and responses................my last email is a cover page of the latest BS.........

BS states 3mm......and open the joint up if neccacary!!!.....like you would on handmade tiles!!!!!!!!!............

but after a couple of conversations.......here is what went on..........and it is in 1mm!!!!!!! (oh and its a different floor to what I posted yesterday!)

all the best

Lee!

I have tiled straight onto the screed Peter......it has wet u/floor in it......the parquet was laid and will be "picture framed" around the tiling!

I get it now! Used some weber floor flex the other day after seeing you bang on about it, I was quite impressed with it, will definitely be using it again

me.......Bang on.......really?.....hehehehehehhheheheeeeeee

 

[DHTiling]

It is only a small area Lee , imo 1mm is good


I like the layout but not sure on the blue ones.. kinda spoils it for me ... top job though and thanks for sharing yet another Protiler installation.

 

[Protilers]

here is what I did today on the other side of the kitchen.......here is the area:

its more Encaustics........sooooo....

I am following a plan from the architect and the coloured tiles need to be in a fixed place and a fixed orientation..........proper pain.....oh well.....

and before any one say's it........that random, don't match odd tile..........that is a FEATURE TILE!!!!......heheheheheheheeeeee.........I have no idea what he is smoking.........

all the best

Lee

 

[Ian]

That'd send my eyes funny Lee!

 

[Protilers]

oh and here is what the other area looks like once the timber border is installed:

 

[Protilers]

That'd send my eyes funny Lee!

you are not alone BRI.........everytime I fix a half tile cut I have to check myself at least 3 times!!!!!!!

all the best pal........hope you enjoy the post

Great thread mate. Those random light ones are daft, I can't see the point in them.
