Nice floor Phil .. goes well with the kitchen... shame about having to insert closures but it happens sometimes.. i have noticed an uptake in this floor type getting popular again..

Thanks Dave, closures have always been a normal part of Geomertic floors, to maintain the overall look of the floor. If you look at the old floors, you will find more closures than full rails in the borders, a bit of artistic licence is a must imo. I know what you mean though. These jobs do not come with an instruction manual. I spent a full day setting this one out.

If we look at the left hand side of the kitchen, I have a full tile on the variable, on the right side against the Aga I have a full tile on the variable, the border goes in half bond, so closures are the only way to go.

It wasn't fault picking Phil .. just a shame when closures fall so small and on light tiles they show more.. taking nothing away from your high standard of work , just saying it is a shame when we try to perfect a job..

Cheers Dave, this is an perfect example of us not living in a ideal world. I did give the client the options ie. two larger closures or one small one, she went for the latter.

Here's one I finished a couple of weeks ago. I had some 600x400 left over from the kitchen floor. After half a day on the wet cutter and a day fixing I came up with this.....

This is on the same job. It's actually vinyl tiles as the floor had too much deflection which couldn't be rectified

Finished this one today just got to do the siliconing. Why can't all tiles be as good to work with as porcelanosa tiles.

Done some chequered 450 porcelain last week, nothing fancy but thought it looked quite smart when it was finished.
