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 ..

Some top quality work on here lads.Heres a few pics of a past job and one I'm on now with 4 bathrooms. ps how can I resize my photos so I can post more of them as the files are to big.

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

Hi Mark, I do mine web large on microsoft office manager. I think there are a few ways to resize pics, sorry I could not get on that job with you, it sounded interesting, if you get stuck give me a ring, it would be good to meet up and work together.

 

[rainsco]

you can resize and edit photos with gimp. its like an open source photo shop clone. i like it a lot. GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program

nice before-after photos and under progress photos here!

here some pics of my in progress projekts i worked unfortunately paralell. nothing of it is really finished:
first 3D grafics, then pictures


-small guest bathroom with jura limestone and a heated one peace stoneshowertray


-master bathroom with a big heated showertray. it was very difficult to fix because of the fittings of the heater on the right wall. i planed some integrated mirror cabinets.



small guest bathroom with 60x60 tiles



-a smal toilet room.



-here a project i have a little fear of it. i have to tile just the shower but outside the floor-screed gets just colorless coated. the tiles are 100x100 and i fits all to the full format



-and here is my favourite project at the moment. the customers came to me and told me they have selected some porcelain gres and white wash basins from alape in steel.
i made a alternativ planing and combined the face concrete with travertin, a massive travertin wash basin, an indirect luminous mirror, a drawer under the bench and a cabinet in oak.
all materials i like a lot.
the costumers agreed and i build a styropor prototype of the wash basin to show the scale in the room. fitting the basin was very difficult because i have to cut the floor screed and the wall afterwards to
recess the massive steel consoles. 6 people was needed to carry it on the place. another thing is to tank the shower to the faced concrete. i used schlüter kerdi fix to fix the sealing tape on the concrete.
i fix one downward for more overlapping and a second one direct on the wall.

this is all real class , very clean workmanship.
in fact all the work ive seen you post stands out as pure quality.
you should put one of these on the JOTM MAY even if not finished .
is that housing for cutter to stop spray from KARL DAHM TOOLS .
i know jura limestone is very popular in germany. Have you ever had problems with the grey oxidising and changing clour in areas that get more sunlight.
ive had a big problem last year.

 

[ishi69]

Hi Phil thanks for the info would be great to get on some work together, you've probably forgotten more than I know.

 

[jonnyc]

we all get old by the day and by the year we forget more and more , but the one thing i dont forget is the job ive done in a clients house.
i get clients phoning me regularily that might have moved house or doing more work in existing, ten years or more down the line.
maybe i am a sad case but given a location and name i could recall any job for last twenty years and how i did it.
what i cant remember is why i started writing this response in first place.

thanks jonny, the wetbox is not from karl dahm. i know they sold such a cabin long time ago. i wanted to buy one at this time but it was imported from usa and they told me the manufaktor does not send any boxes anymore.
so i built this year a cabin myself. its a prototyp but it works very good. i can connect the welded steel rods without screws. i took the steel skeleton to a lorry foil builder and he made a waterproof and very tough cabin.
for my work its perfekt. it was a really problem on the building site for me because the jolly edges and self cutted brick design (i do very often!) does a lot of water spray! especially on big tiles when water runs down. now i´m the best friend of the parquet layer but i save the floor screed from any water.
next i offer a second foil to underlay. about 7x7m with the same quality and so i can work on a carpet in old buildings in future

edit.. until yet i have no problems with jura limestone. i have read in the "fliesen und platten" there was a projekt with problems. dark stains on the joints. the cause was the tilers didn´t age the adhesive. they bleach it with some finalit products when i remember right.

[jonnyc]

this is very interesting.
are you prepared to divulge the make and model of tile cutter.

 

[rainsco]

this is my small tile cutter. i use it very often. its very light and i combined it with the sack truck which fits perfekt. i can lift it myself on stairs and in seconds out of my car.
its not good quality but it works very fast especially for the jolly tiles.

can you read the pdf?
http://www.mitterbiller.de/Cut King 250.pdf

my big tile cutter which can normaly cut tiles with 90 lengh of edges
its better quality but its heavy and not perfekt in construktion.
Meistergold fahrbar


but i build a simple extension so i can cut 240 mm length on building site. i will take a foto next week because i need it for the 100x100 tiles.

 

[MakenaTile]

these are a few of my latest jobs. The last is obviously unfinished in those pics. It's an outside shower- curbless. I ran the stone floor up the wall to make the space look bigger- It worked. Was a pain to set the floor tho because the drain was just 3/4" lower than the wood deck that the stone butted up against where you step in. here's the mural finished

 

[DHTiling]

Awesome work makenatile.

 

[White Room]

Fantastic work Makena, what sort of tools do you use cut out for the leaves from the face tile..

 

[rainsco]

i like the entry mural.. very extraordinary in design and i never see things like this handcarved without a waterjet .

 

[jonnyc]

thanks for these links.
i will get in touch to see if ship to uk.
i need something strong , but simple and not too big for stone work in bathrooms and this first link could be answer .
i have other bigger cutters up to 1200mm ali manta italian , which are nice and light but the the legs have had it after only two years.
this meistergold fahrbahr looks good for transportation. do you have any problems with head moving and cutting offline as it is only sitting on a single rail.
