The End Of Tiling??

[Colour Republic]

One word...

S H I T !!!!!!:smilewinkgrin:

Don't hold back Dave, say what you mean:lol:

Seen mike holmes from holmes on homes doing this

Really? Not seen it myself but that's like a Canadian version of DIY S.O.S right? This looks like it could well be up Lawrence Lleweyln‐Bowens street, who loved that episode with the red and checkered room where the homeowners hit the roof:lol:

I can't see how this product could mimic stone, I just get the impression you'd walk into the room and instantly go "what the HELL have you done to your walls!":yikes: but the people who told me about this gear hang very expensive papers and i'm getting the feeling that either the product could be quite good or they have zero taste! So i'm very confused

The guy in the video is the owner and the installation looks as rough as bears arses.

Just reading up on it a bit more it seems that the product is a plaster that becomes pliable then sets hard once the adhesive has gone off, I just can't seem to get my head round it :crazy:

holmes on holmes is on discovery shed at 9pm at night..he's a really good builder and the quality of the tradesman he uses are exceptional, nothing like diy sos. canada is at the forefront of building techniques, expansion, heat control, etc etc due to their extreme climate changes..

they show faux stone being laid and it isnt like that..its extemely skill demanding. the guys lay / pour resins and sprinkle coloured cement, etc and form the surface through the use of hand tools. they seal it and it does look good....not for everyone but its another solution for exterior steps and 'low maintenance scenarios...

theres no substute for the real thing imo...we will always have new techniques but its the old ones that we come to rely on for standing the test of time!! no matter how many new prducts/techniques that evolve, our rising population will ensure theres enough work to go around.....

i looks like a fairytale room imo. maybe useful on film sets or for events.

my wife looks like angelina jolie, but she aint the real thing, and like the tiles, i no what one one id rather.

does any one know the price, i could take over the council estate houses if its cheaper than tiles.

:lol::lol:

They do a range of different 'stones' from $8-$16sqm.

I don't for one minute think this would make any dent in the tiling industry but it's interesting all the same. Very good point about film sets or even a kids themed room

I guess it will have its market mind, so theres some that might be called to learn its techniques eventually! Mass housing in parts of the US have pitched roofs that look slated...but its just felt with the design on....no durability - they just renew the whole thing every 3 - 5 years..which the 'roofers' engaged no doubt make a living from!

i wouldnt mind learning it. its cheaper, faster and maybe cleaner. and most developers will use it, as money and time are most important to these people. and i know the likes of gordon brown, who needs to be hung imo, will use this method on council estates and the houses that are gonna be built for immigrants.

They call it "The World's First Bendable Stone", and it can be cut with a razor knife, and installed in showers.....hhmmmm. It seems like they are overselling this.:mad2:

Do you know anything more about this? There are pseudo-slate shingles, made from a recycled rubber compound and are extremely expensive and durable, but I don't know of any felt roofing materials (other than the underlayment that goes directly over the sheating).
