Met Sam at Pro Tiler on Saturday. (What a nice bloke!) He was saying he had been down for a day with you and was telling me about your set up and the work you do. Wow!!

That’s lovely work at always Marc, but would you say the room is too small to appreciate the affect you get with tiles like this.

Nice one Marc...

If you ever fancy a change, I'll throw a metro kitchen your way..

Yeah he’s good guy, knowledgeable too, we had a good day.
I’m pretty lucky I must admit, I get to do some amazing projects.
I’ve had to work for it tho, and it’s been tough at times, getting there tho.

Thanks.
Not really to be honest, everyone strives to have as few joints as possible now, so that it gives the appearance of natural stone slabs.
The images don’t do it real justice because I don’t have a wide enough angle lens.
I’ve tried bolt lenses and it gets too distorted.
This particular client who works in advertising on the design side, had a very specific idea of what he wanted to achieve, and I’m pleased to say he was overjoyed that his vision had been realised.

Haha cheers Andy, its not the metros that would bother me, it’d be the bloody drive mate.

Yeah you don’t develop those skills overnight or the jobs. Lot of time and effort to get where you are.

There's more room in mine Marc, but that's just what I'm after. I'm so glad you posted this, the honed/satin finish looks outstanding. I was going to go with polished in the shower but this looks way better.

Where can I see Florim tiles locally?

hei marc, is it easier to make non-glossy cuts?
as always, good job

.........When it’s a shower!!!

One of the smallest ex-large format projects I’ve undertaken, in more ways than one.

I was asked what the feasibility was of installing a 4 tile string of 2.4 x 1.2 x 6mm thin tile to a rather compact shower room.
I went along to the property, and quickly understood everyone’s point of view, general consensus was it wasn’t possible because of access.
But the client wants what the client wants.

My proposed solution was to dismantle a shower wall that backed in to the bedroom.
Bring the largest two pieces thro the wall in the upright position, and then reinstate and waterproof the shower.

The rest were going to be reduced in size sufficiently to be passed through the door.

One other issue that was to become a real thorn in my side was that one of the four pieces delivered, was incorrect, and not part of the string ordered.
And after being promised it would only take a week to replace, I’m still waiting, 10 days later.

Anyway after getting assurances from all concerned that if I was to begin the install and the missing piece turned out to be incompatible, I was not to be held responsible for proceeding without it. (Even that took almost a week to get in place)

1st image, just left of centre shows the missing shower wall.

Tiles are 2.4 x 1.2 x 6mm thin tile by Florim.
