Awesome install.

Be sure they seal the heck out of those showers - especially the first one. Showers like that may need a maintenance program to keep them in good condition.

thank you topshop

all my stone gets sealed at least 4 applications 2 b4 grout 2 after, more if the stone is not fully saturated.

I like to see all my clients stone bathrooms once a year after install to ensure a ongoing care program keeps them in tip top condition

very nice job. travertine one of my favorite stone. Can i ask, i didnt see to much of mittered external corners on tiles?. (most of my work for past 2-3 years with mittered corners)

 

[Thespanishtiler]

all corner either masons mitre or butt joints with 6mm half bull nose. honed and polished to same finish as face of tile.

for examples of 22.5° double mitre joints to form a 45° joint see my jotm entry for dec 2011

on the pewter trav job the edges on half tiled areas also half bull nosed.

I am not a fan of the eased 45° mitre joint on a external corner and would always use a masons mitre, also with a bull nosed butt joint the whole curved land is solid stone as opposed to the joint running through. the exception to this would be a 45° mitred joint filled with polyester filler tinted to match the stone and bull nosed to form a invisible join, I would still prefer a masons mitre finished the same way though.

understand Rob, you look top tiler, i am not talking only about natural stone only... (porcelain tiles also). agree easier with natural stone , you can do mitre , bull nose etc.
this TF is good, you can hear top tilers opinions, advice, help...
