What do you mean, specifically?
Just the more I learn and see the quality of work in other countries, the more I see how "backward" we still are in the UK.
So often I have customers wanting an MTV-Cribs-looking perfect marble floor using £4 per tile polished turkish marble, fixed to the knackered timber floor of a 1930s semi detached house. Or a monolithic black gloss floor using B&Q polished "black" porcelain.
I'm not saying that we don't have good tilers and stone fixers here.
We just don't have many. (and we have too many who pretend that they can....)
Not really, I just like to work with stone more than ceramics, and it pays a bit better as well, so I work with it more.
There is lots of ceramics of all kinds here.
The Masterpiuma weighs in at 8.3 kilos, and handles pretty much everything I throw at it with ease. It handles 62cm straight cuts and 44x44cm tiles on the diagonal.
If you want to do some really artistic stuff, you should probably get a Montolit Combi Slalom. You can do curved cuts with it; watch the video whydontcha. EDIT: Ooops, wrong vid link. Updated.
Thanks heaps sWe, think I've fallen in love - with the combi slalom...hmm - hmmm! Can do curved cuts but doubt my ability to repeat them exactly over lots of tiles....Will have to be a really really good girl really quickly for a late delivery from Father Christmas... if not it's probably worth waiting for and getting one of the rubi ones as well, first or whatever...!!! Oh my god, I'm feeling faint....:santa_cheesy:

Not very often i am out spoken on here.......but what a load of tosh that comment is....
A perfect marble flat lipless floor can be achieved in any country, they are laid and ground flat to achieve that flat jointless look, the problem is our customers won't pay for that look, MTV crib look....lol lol...thats coz they have the money to pay for it.
It's the customers that get took in by these looks and not that tilers in the uk can't do it.....
As for quality of tiling in other countries, i have seen an awful lot of bad tiling in other countries as well.
Very high standards of tiling can be seen in any country and to say that tilers in this country are not capable of it is ridiculous to say the least...
I don't intend to ruffle any ones feathers here, but comments like that are disrespectful to the uk tiling industry.
Negativity towards your own country if anything is, however, an English trait and such a shame.
