Home Improvements DVDs: Tiling Walls @ GMC Publications

British Standards 5385 is a good one lol

Hi mate you can hire theses and other books out of your local library and free

No mate - they are only available to buy from HMSO. Quite pricey to be honest (about 80 quid).

Good luck

thanks chase tiling ;0)

i'll buy the 2 tiling dvds that are available from the guild of master craftsman . if there any good and anybody on here wants to view them, then i'll happily do some copies..

Sorry i meant to say you can hire the ceramic tile and stone book by john ripley at your local library, and if they dont have it they will order it for you for 25p, thats what i did, they can order dvd`s as well

Hi, has anyone have any recommendations for good boks and dvd's

hi

heres a nice little link for all the beginers out there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucmMfOKs_4 if you are new and you cant get an experience working with a tiler then go on you tube and type in 'tiling' or specific searches for example 'shluter ditra or rubi et etc

you will at least get to see trowelling techniques and edging strips etc being paid in place. not perfevt learning but better than nothing? a picture paints a 1000 words and all that :0)

all the best
ed

ok, that link doesnt work!

go to YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. and type in 'shluter systems' and there some examples of tiling installations......
