Travertine tiled bathroom photos

[topcarper]

Hi, Here are some photos of a recent bathroom refurb i had done,the guy who did the work has done a nice job after a few hiccups, can i ask does anyone know how essential it is that the gap at the bottom of the travertine tiles where they meet the floor tiles has to be siliconed? Its just that the guy who did the work didnt Silicon in some areas befor he fitted the vanity unit, also there is one or two tiles fitted where he didnt use spacers so are tiled straight down onto the floor tile, there are only a couple like this that arent even whole tiles but smaller cuts

Thanks

I think we have to be careful pulling apart work , I know I wouldn't be happy having a customer post pics of a job to a forum with many exceptional tilers - like a lamb to the slaughter ! Lol
couple of things I might have done differently , but that's inevitable . Overall it looks like a very good job especially the mosaics and recess .

I thought UFH under cabinets and fittings was avoided not just because of fixings but also because it might overheat in that area if it was covered.

It can lead to condensation in the pan if ufh goes below the toilet.
Think you might have read before that the ufh was just flung in a heap under the bath etc as it was too long, this is a disaster waiting to happen.

I think it's fabulous!
Fantastic job and everything the OP wants it to be!


Rolled up UFH!!
Bullnosing is old fashioned!!
Small cuts and poor setting out is fine!!
You have to be happy as any criticsm is unwarranted and he only put it on view to confirm his own thoughts - its crap and he doesn't want to be told.

And I never even bothered to look at the pictures.

True, the extra weight increases resistance in the wires which can cause it to overheat/burnout in the affected area. I would have swapped it for 2m kit, and fixed the toilet properly.
