Is that vinyl tiles on the floor ???

Grey adhesive too...on travertine? rather them than me :mad2:

The old floor has polished stone tiles down in a couple of areas which we originally thought about keeping but the whole house was a mish mash of these tiles, carpets, wood, red brick tiles, allsorts as it had various extensions over the years. In the end we decided to re-do the whole house in travertine as well as the outside terrace. Not cheap but we imported the tiles straight from Turkey which saved a bit.

What's the story with grey glue?

Do think they will look better the new way, though.

If they dont get a solid bed then you could be getting shadowing, the grey adhesive showing through the tiles. It is usual to use white but i guess some dont think the same.

I hope so now, actually the way the rest of the house layout goes I think it will ultimately look better. Over the years I have learnt usually (not always) that sticking with the original plan is the best way.
We'll see pretty soon I reckon.
I'll post a picture when its finished

Must say, it must be some relationship if you get your way. Any job I do, the husband always has to run it past the wife!

Some of the threads in the tiling forum that have had a lot of views are being bumped up into current discussion. Just walk on by if it's not your flavour right now. Perhaps it'll help somebody out one day, and they become members, and then they post a thread, and professional tilers respond, and then you learn something from them...? Maybe?
