Show Us YOUR Work Thread - Tilers Pictures

[Dave]

Edit May 2024: THIS is a New Show Us Your Work Thread for 2024 Onwards

This is the new Tilers Showcase Forum where we want new tiling work added, with each tiling job you complete having a thread of its own so people can see what kind of work you do, and potential customers can find your work

---

---

---

I thought it was about time we had a thread dedicated to all members of Tilers forums to show us any work that they do.

Be it from installing a kitchen to garden decking. Show us your work! Get those pictures taken, but then do something with them! Actually add them to a thread and some facebook groups with your website link in them etc and it'll help spread the tile love.

If you have done a job then please do share it with us.

Pics are a MUST as what is the point of sharing a job without them..:smilewinkgrin:.

So if you do a job and you take a few pics then please do share it with us.

Lets make it a big thread for all to view and input in.

Thanks Dave ..

Yes that is house. five flats... I did many entrances , using this stone , around London Very first day, my 9 inch grinder broke, so used 4inch Makita for all cuts :mad2:

 

[Mr Tiler]

9 inch! what width are the stone?

 

[Tony73]

9 inch! what width are the stone?

it's 40mm thick

 

[Mr Tiler]

daayyymmmmm!!!!! would love to feel the weight of those badboys! I bet even if the adhesive fails they wont be moving anywhere! lol... was it the same method for laying 10mm? and it looks to me like you somehow had to lower the floor level to accommodate the tiles?

Method is simple- put plenty of adhesive, drop stone slab and dance on it... :lol:

 

[Colour Republic]

well... some call it sandstone, some- Portland :lol:

:lol:

 

[rainsco]

lovely job .
i like your style and method as always.
cant see what the stone is .
is it sollhofen or dura perhaps

 

[rainsco]

hi jonny. its jura limestone.. the shower place is fixed.. posting pics soon.... but this weekend i make another "human cnc" job:

import the roughly slaps direct from the quarry in south tirol. the stone is called "seiser basalt". its a very special story about the stone. they found it random by building a cable car station. they cut out the blocks bevore the station was built and thats it. limited edition.


calibrate it with the cs60.


milled edges with the easy bevel. yes, its possible to make edges exclusive with an dry or wet grinder but i want perfect angles and a technical look like machine produced.


i cut the armour channels with a 5mm thick blade also in the cs 60


making the cut outs and the drip off area with my hand-operated center


the result.. the stone is not darkend yet and the skirting boards are leaving on this day.






this was my first kitchen top.. not a easy one. i think i lost 1 year of my live time because of inner fear.

 

[rainsco]

being a human waterjet.. last week i convince my customers to an idea i want to to for long time. i make a few designs on my cad and we decided to choose one version. we make the same radius on the edges like the basin has. so now i have to wait for the emperador filling material.

You are a very talented man, that is one of the most original designs I've ever seen, fantastic work.

You should be extremely proud of yourself for creating such exceptional work. Your attention to detail and originality are outstanding and inspiring thanks for your posts rainsco.

 

[Mr Tiler]

that is amazin work!

 

[Colour Republic]

Smart work Rainsco

be interested to see what you do with the grain and which bits 'overlap' each other if you know what I mean

 

[Mr Tiler]

how long did this take you to do mate?

 

[rainsco]

thanks for comments dudes! .. but hey, most of the classic designs are inspired from this forum. i remenber a staircase with a brown border goes round on the first step and i loved the design.

i cut out the stripes from 30x60 polished emperador tiles. i sand and brush it after laying. i want to groat the emperador with balibrown and the rest with jurabeige so the joints from the emperador rings are iversible. thats easy with the emperador because the design is wild and has no direction.

the floor takes the hole saturday. inkl. finding the right design usw all about 10 hours.. = 400euro .. i think to write a program for waterjet, lay out the beige material in the right joints (on the corridor is the same) and bring it final on the ground is also not less effort so i think its ok. what do you think? i prefer the handwork whenever it make sense.

 

[rainsco]

started a bathroom renovation this week.. atlas concorde seastone sand 90x45 and emperador dark for border and floor.. the stone is 2cm so i has to cut out the wall for the border. i wait until the customer was out of the house for this action..

 

[Mr Tiler]

i has to cut out the wall for the border.

why not just pack the tiles out mate?

 

[rainsco]

i´m not sure what you mean. can not translate pack out the tiles.

 

[Gazzer]

i´m not sure what you mean. can not translate pack out the tiles.

I think he means build out the wall tiles to suit the border....you will have to excuse him, he is a newcomer!

 

[Mr Tiler]

yes use some cement based.... pack out the wall to suite and then tile it once bottom layer has set. sorry in advance if this is a bad idea

 

[rainsco]

ah ok. can´t set out the wall tiles more because i don´t render the walls and i set it in middle bed. so the adhesive can do 10mm bed. if i want to do more its a very big effort and lot of more weight on the wall. and at least the door to the shower tray and the armature bodys don´t fit with 1,5cm more on each side.

 

[beanz]

yes use some cement based.... pack out the wall to suite and then tile it once bottom layer has set. sorry in advance if this is a bad idea

packing out all the field tiles to suit the border, would be a HUGE amount of work, and would cost a fortune in adhesive.

 

[rainsco]

its a weekend projekt.. next week i will groat the jura with beige and the emperador with balibrown. then i sand the emperador down and brush it..
