Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

Hi.

A couple bathrooms to share with ya.

Apple stone en-suite 60x40 random set , really nice stone.

And a main bathroom with raised walk in Wetroom , tiled in ceveza polished travertine 60x30 random set and 60x60 floor areas.
Polished edges with 4 mm chamfer finish.

This is a really nice travertine and the patterning is awesome.

Great work jonny c as always and it was great to see we're it all starts in the quarryGreat work also dave lovelly looking bathroom and stone

 

[tobins tiling]

Just out of interest jonny were was that quarry??

 

[jonnyc]

its in burgundy in france.
there are many small and large quarries in this area of france but this is unique in that none of the others quarry the blue vix. it comes from only one small quarry in a field. no one else has this stone in the world.
the problem the quarry has is that if they sell blue vix thay have to cut out the beige part from the blocks and slab.
you will see from photo of face in quarry, the blocks and slabs that a large proportion of face is beige and they have to use this for other named stones.
this in itself is not a problem as everything cut out of block or slab is used for tiles or coblles/setts etcc.
but i think the problem now is that they have to cut so much block just to get some blue vix.
15 years ago i was fixing this blue vix for paris ceramics and they were the only people who sold this stone. At that time i think the quarry were cutting from an area in quarry that was yielding greater percentage of blue than beige. now it is the other way round , so price has gone up alot.
there is also problem that they usually say biggest tile they will do is 700 x 500 mm as the clour changes so quickly in block and they waste more the bigger the tile required.
this project required aopprox 200.00 sq mts 800x 600 x 20 mm stone tiles plus treads risers etcc which was very difficult to achieve. i went to france with different london stone supplier as i had fixed lots of this stone years ago and knew what one might or should expect.
we had to check what the blocks were like and approve basically three quite radical tonal variations.
my job on site was to select the right percentage tonal mix through the ten tons of stone supplied and represent this through the whole area.
with such variation without a lot of going through batch and sorting every crate before fixing you could have a dissaster on your hands

 

[jonnyc]

sorry i should have added that i am only talking about the field stone which was the 800 x 600 plus treads and risers aand one half of the weird shape feature pieces.
the other half are belgian blue limestone.
the border is another grey limestone again

Jonny, that is one class bit of work there.

Dave another top quality install.

Hi jonnyc,

I've just been catching up on this thread and both like the work you've done on the stone floor, and the look of it. Can you give an idea of the m^2 price of that. I'd like to do mine something similar but have a feeling that the price will push the genuine article well out of my league.

Cheers
James

Nice work Jamie

 

[Richard Edwards]

Thats a great challenge Jonny
A couple of quick questions -
Did you make your own templates for the curved sections and the circle at the end ?
Thats a fancy looking roller you are using to get the disconnection membrane to stick flat - where did you source that from?

Super bit of work

A travertine bathroom refit I completed last week. A slight improvement :smilewinkgrin:
