I'll get the ball rolling. Finished off today. Polished limestone inside and out. 300 x various x 15mm inside and 600x various x 30mm outside (some outside slabs were as much as 1400mm so they were a bit of a back breaker!!) 10mm gap between edge of outside tile and edge of glass building where the stone has been rounded off to allow water to run down to drain. Also the whole length of the outside has rounded edges to give a nice finish. 4 x 115mm holes cut for outside lights. Scribing around brickwork steps. Grout lines running in line from inside to out and all at same level. Materials used : Dural CI Matting, Bal Tile and Stone PTB, Mapei Ultracolour Jasmine Grout, Lithofin Stain Stop and Lithofin Powerclean.
A bit of a job that one!! Hope you like it

Nice looking floor there. Did you profile the tiles yourself or did they come like that.....

[hillhead]

Very tasty, won't the rain attack that polished limestone though?

Very nice job that. Swanky. I used to love doing the nice jobs on houses I couldn't afford myself. It's the nicer part of the tiling job. Not always are the customers the nicest though with the swanky houses. lol

I know what you mean but the lady of this house was really nice and kept the workers supplied with home made choc brownies!!!

Stunning work CC.

[johnryan]

[user123]

Swanky - great choice of word, yes, beautiful work, looks pretty back breaking, too, and proper swanky. What a great sunroom extension to have! They obviously chose the right man for the tiling.

If you want to show your work to us all you can use this thread The Tilersforums.co.uk.. Show us your work thread. Nice floor by the way

[Brinkley]

thought i would add this wetroom all the walls are granite .under floor heating ,glass mosaics.
i got a window company to cut the glass door and we took the window out and put in a special mirrored window.
all granite and glass equals reflections so was hard to get a good pic

Wow nice looking job Brinkley. Tricky work with all the trims, it looks very neat indeed! I'm not sure I would like it as my en-suite but each to there own, bit dark for my taste. Didn't think I was gonna have any competition this month.
