i assume you do plastering too for creating the substrate?

All the steam rooms, ice fountains etc. I do are constructed from pre-formed Wedi and as most are commercial jobs all the main prep is pre-done. I usually just need to scrim any uneven joints etc with the white addy or use thin wedi board to level something off or bring a ledge etc up to the right height for the mosaics, or build up a curve to a suitable radius.

Really impressive must of taking a lot of time and patients. Good stuff

Hi Peeps

Over the last 3 weeks Ive been working in a new Spa in Cambridgeshire. I started on a central heated bench and shower using Original Style mosaics. We've had to come off the job while the floor is sorted and when we're back it'll be grouted, with Kerapoxy :mad2:. I'd also started on an Ice Fountain.

What a coincidence, I've just been talking to someone that is working on that same job. Is it for a leisure company down in Cambridge.

Nice work John. Gary good to see the old skills still in use well done to two good fixers:hurray:

They are very hard tiles but my DNA blade made mincemeat of them.

Hardest thing was grouting, if you look at Pic 8 you can see the texture of the tiles, and they were a nightmare to wash off.
