dave ,
it was rainbow pools who did the inside tiling . not my favourite pool company. have you heard of problems with slate in pools as well??
client wanted me to do inside as well as surround but i was a bit nervous about this chinese slate. I had heard some horror stories about it changing colour and joints bleeding white. it does look really cool though especially with pool lighting on.
the brazilian stuff i supplied for surround and copings was great product to work with.
Ive only ever done the inside of one pool and that was only because no one else would touch the tile product . i had worked for client before and she was desperate to use moroccan habibi mosaic. i will see if i can dig out a photo of that pool.

Other shower rooms tiled with 600x600 porcelain tiles. Living area: Calacatta oro fire place: made cutting sheet (my brother and my Ukrainian friend fitted). Kitchen/patio area: 950x560x20 blue jura stone( all tiles cut to size on site from 1000x600). And finaly outside columns manualy fitted (30mm and 40mm portland stone)

Guys as a DIY'er I joined here a few months ago, it's been a real pleasure looking at your work and admiring your workmanship, I'd done a couple of cheapo Flat refurbs but you lot inspired me to have a crack at my own bathroom, I was nervous of cutting 900mm tiles but bought a big Montolit cutter from Tradetiler, (really helpful people), and they were a doddle! fabulous cutter, I was tempted to post on Sir Ramics Sigma love in thread! all the tiles were Porcelanosa and I used Benflex adhesive for the wall tiles.

So, mistakes.. well working with fast setting adhesive for the floor made me rush, plus I got the bloody stuff everywhere! definitely didn't spend enough time planning the niches and how their positioning would affect tile layout, and it was only towards the end that I realised trowel handles sit over the edge of a bucket and save them disappearing into the addy!

I'm about to attempt to extend an existing slate kitchen floor, I'll let you know how that goes but in the meantime a big thank you for answering my questions and for the wealth of knowledge and expertise on this site, really grateful to you guys for sharing that.
