Spiral Staircase in Marble

[marktiling]

Hi I took a call today from a potential customer who is looking to have her spiral staircase tiled in marble. Not seen it yet but she will call me tomorrow to sort out a time to look.
Anyone ever done anything like this ?
Any pics ?
thanks
Mark

Not somethink I've done but there is a few guys on here that have...

Do you have much experiance with natural stone

Not quite Spiral but Garythetiler and Hillhead have done something similar and have photos on here somewhere.
As above do you have experience in stone ? You could make templates and get the stone shaped so you only have to lay but I think you would still need to finish them off and that means specialist tools.

Think Octobers JOTM winner was a staircase in porcelain, photos should be there

Hi thanks for the replies I have done a floor in Basalt and 3 bathrooms and a complete ground floor in Travertine - if they count but have a feeling I am just not experienced enough for this one ! Might have to pass it up.

Why not get in touch with Pebbs? She's the expert on marble, and probably the right person with the right people to pass it on to...

Now I would love to have a go at something like this :drool5:

Here's one i done in february this year and won the coveted JOTM Competition with it.
A real joy to do and a challenge hard to beat.
Check my website too and the staircase is on home page.
I had hoped to do another one this year but money seems to put a halt to it so i'll tear on,lol.

Amazing job ! I will get in touch with Pebs and see if I can pass her details on - might go and have a look when its being done ! Job is near London so maybe a bit far for some ! Thanks for all your help.

Joe, did that staircase get a banister eventually, like a wrought iron one or something? This looks like bone breaker... :Yikes: so pretty but scary!!

Mark.. don't pass it up.. get a member near enough to you and the job to do it together.. then you get the experience along with the job..

Not sure yet G, i would like to think so...
I have another house on for same people and i started it back in june !!!
Done nothing since as money was tied up with solicitors some way but i have a 120m2 basement floor to do below that staircase sometime !!!!
