Having been fortunate enough to work alongside @GaryTheTiler and
@Ray TT @ Porcel-Thin recently on a couple of projects it gave me a little hands on experience before I tackled my own bathroom refit for a client. This turned out to be invaluable!
The original ensuite was only 2yrs old and part of a massive remodelling of their property.
Long story kinda short. (For me!) the floor had failed and the client just wanted whole room ripping out!
This is what they wanted ripping out!
View attachment 79022 View attachment 79023 View attachment 79024

Basically the floor was a disaster waiting to happen.
They had placed OSB OVER joists and fixed.
Then placed 2x1 batons on OSB and put wet UFH trays between them.
Then GLUED ply on top. (Which de- bonded)
Then attempted to glue Ditra with AF200, which didn't work, so was effectively loose laid!
In fact the whole floor from the OSB up was effectively loose laid!
Anyway, after determining the position of the wet UFH pipes I screwed through the ply, 2x1, and batons into the joists.
No UFH piped were hurt in the making good of this floor!
Then I fixed 12mm Hardie on top! Screwing trough all layers where I could and into the ply elsewhere!
Yes the client was aware that this would reduce the effectiveness of the heating but felt it was a small price to pay fora solid floor!
This mess also left them with a split shower tray because although the times were meant to support the leading edge of the tray. They didn't. There just wasn't enough room for the trav to go under. So the tray was flexing which caused it to crack.
So remedials out of the way I began to transform their bathroom in to this!

Haha, well thank you for such an enthusiastic response!

I'll forgive you for asking questions, as you're only the second person to do so.
And an honest question deserves an honest answer.
Is it hard, easy or in between?
All of the above! Haha
In principle, it's just tiling and they're just tiles.
In practise, it's a whole new ball game.
They're twice as hard as regular porcelain, but fragile as glass!
'Dink' one at your peril! Haha especially when u've cut a big hole in one and
compromised its integrity.
There's certainly no where to hide when using this product, it will show you up if you don't show it respect.
And mistakes are costly!
I will say tho, Porcel-Thin is of the highest quality, lovely to handle and as u can see, has an amazing finish.

How does it cut?
Well getting one in a TX 700 is tricky!
My new slide cutter has a range of 1.2m to 3.6m so that's different. Haha
Angle grinder, good quality blade and a sponge can do the rest pretty much.
Oh and not forgetting the ability to hold high levels of concentration for much longer periods, and these are small at 1200 X 600, the 1800 X 900's are much more interesting!

But most important of all......prep! Prep! Prep!
Take the most unforgiving mosaic u can find and if the prep isn't as good as it would have to be for those, then you're not going to get a good install.

So hopefully I've answered your questions, but told you nothing!

......and thanks again for your remarks.

I admire your work Steve, so thank you, that's very kind of u to say.
But you're right there, it was in at deep end a bit!
However, it's the best way to learn, eh!

I've had one straight forward install this year, and I had to get someone else in to do the bulk cos I didn't have time.
So even when I get them, I don't get to do them! Haha

Cheers Mark, yeah they are thrilled!
