Encaustic look a like job.

[Dave]

Just a hallway I just tiled in an imitation encaustic looking tile from CTD.

Rather busy on the eyes installing but the end result had the customer buzzing...

 

[Alan.P]

Wow, busy isn't the word, not to my taste but to each their own.

 

[Russell brown]

I don't like the tile but your work looks really good.

 

[peteablard]

I've seen them in CTD but can't make my mind up Dave. I think in the right place they would look awesome.

 

[CJ]

Not sure if I like it or not.........

 

[Dave]

Not sure if I like it or not.........

Different ! .. Lol.. Is the word.

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I really like it! Think it might date quickly but it's definitely a 'now' look.

 

[WetSaw]

I've seen them over here and thought they looked good, are they the ones that are 4 patterns on one tile?.
However..... I have to say that I think it's all a bit much in a big area like that. Great work though!!

 

[andyb1]

Nice work, but couldn't live with them, each to their own.

 

[mike1979]

My mates started stocking these he has the wall tiles it's very different and like john says it's a now look but it's way too busy for me I'd get lost walking on it !!

These are singles 200mm x 200mm

 

[Andy Allen]

Not my cup of tea a I'm afraid. ....is there a set pattern or just put them down radom..

 

[stephenoneill]

Very fashionable here in france .half the work of posing the real deal.but the finished effect is excellent.good work mate

 

[Old Mod]

Beautiful floor Dave, I think it's stunnig.
I did a small bathroom floor with tiles the client imported herself cos she wouldn't pay the prices here. She sat up all night in an adjoining room laying it out so that it would appear random. She didn't want the more traditional 'carpet runs'
i took a lot of photos of her design, didn't dare make a mistake :smilewinkgrin:

just as random as you can .. A pattern would look even worse imho .

Now those I like...

 

[Dan]

I quite like both of them! But as said above, perhaps quite dated and could go out of fashion quickly. But if they're down long enough, the fashion will come back around again I'm sure. haha

 

[afright]

Nice,bit hard on the eyes as you say, just a question,how long has Heinz been making adhesive lol.

 

[Colour Republic]

I really like it, especially with it being monotone given the rest of the scheme.

But just feel too many are jumping on the band wagon. For christ sake one of my local boozers has just had it done and that's a real spit and sawdust type of place, once they've done it you know you're in trouble!

I've not seen the CTD version but I haven't seen any 'fakes' that have really pulled it off yet, you can normally tell they're fakes from 100 yards.

But if it does date quickly then they shouldn't have much trouble pulling them up, Heinz Mayo wouldn't have been my first choice of addy I have to say.

 

[Colour Republic]

Doh! See afright beat me to the mayo comment**yawn**

Picture of the pub or it didn't happen.

Jokes aside, I assume theirs are a copy and not the originals?

 

[Dave]

Free! Mayo buckets , gotta love my local kebab shop lol... Not that I eat them anymore but buckets are buckets

 

[afright]

The wife works in a hotel plenty of buckets,but stink of garlic.Still if Heinz did make adhesive it would be better than Topps lol.

Could be a bit like the 'watersplash' tiles of the late '70s. When they appeared in the motorway toilets they died a death.
We have a group of restaurants in the North East that have used odd tiles for 25 years. All look like reclaimed fireplace insets. Foods good though!

 

[afright]

At my old firm ,every year at Christmas they would give us a tile calender this old tiler who had been there before world war 2 would stick them on one wall in his kitchen.Watersplash forgotten about those tiles yer they was short lived.
