Tiling anything nice in September.

[Dave]

Soo... tilers , what you up to this month , any nice projects to tile.?

 

[Qwerty]

I'm working on an ensuite bathroom refit that was bodged together years ago. Toilet tissue used as a filler along the side of the shower tray and every bit of building debris and a few bags of cement as a shelf next to the shower tray were my favourite features of the old bathroom!

 

[Dave]

My god!!!! Lol...

 

[Dave]

So,what's the new layout going to be like Geoff. .

So,what's the new layout going to be like Geoff. .

Bidet on wall where bath is
Toilet against wall where bath taps are
1200 quadrant shower tray where toilet & basin were
Basin unit & cabinet where shower was

The only original things that will remain are the joists, three solid walls and door frame!

 

[Dave]

Look forward to finished project pics .

9 balconies on new asphalt in quarries!
Access from roof only, down to terrace!
5 stories up, ladder from roof to terrace not wide enough to get my shoulders down, have to turn sideways.
Ladder comes down in the centre of two terraces, so left and right terrace to tile.
Drainage point in far opposite corners from ladder in middle.
And why are they being tiled when they have new asphalt down?







Simple! They fall the wrong way and don't drain properly!
So I gotta fix it!
Gimme strength!!!
So I'm working backwards from drain to ladder and I've got to increase fall as I go backwards!
Swapsies anyone? Haha

What you gonna use on external asphalt? I did one years ago and nobody would commit to a spec.

 

[Old Mod]

Prime with tilemaster primeplus slurry and tilemaster ultimate adhesive.

 

[AD Ceramics]

Is the asphalt exterior though? The oils in it are an issue.

I'm with @3_fall on this one.....

Could be worth a call to the tech guys but I've never known it to be an issue. If anything, new asphalt will be better than old as no or little oils leached out

Not a problem you with 3_fall but if it is exterior grade beware warranty. Webber won't guarantee it.

I'm waiting on reply from architect, he's aware now, as am I!
And I'll be speaking with Tilemaster also.
As I said earlier, thank you for your question.
