Photos of job i got a good tip for

[davy_G]

Hi all,
Just uplaoded some photos into my album of a job i did before Christmas. First time i was back, doing another job for same client. Hefty tip as well.

A new job for me, marble 10 x10 floor, diamond set with alternate black white tiles. Very effective in this victorain house. By the sea as well hense the porthole window and the natural stone border up high.

Comments?

Very nice Davy, Border height is different but looks the biz

[Sir Ramic]

I am liking those floor tiles a lot, very unusual.
Whats with the gap the end of the bath?

[Fred]

Very nice Davy, love the floor tiles.

[david campbell]

nice touch with the water in the bath for the photos m8,great job!!

[davy_G]

Thanks for the feedback guys,
The gap at the end of the bath was only about 25 mm, so it was boxed and tiled set back from the surface of the bath not to draw attention to it.
The border was put up high after discussion with the client. They didnt want it to divide the room as the ceiling isnt too high but wanted to lift the wall tiles a little, it compliments the floor and runs the whole way around the room not cut by windows etc. Think it worked OK.

are the floor tiles natural stone or porcelain?
looks good mate!

looks good mate!

Nat stone, drank sealer! Actually quite irregular as well and alot of variation & veining in the black ones.

[Prem Tiler]

looks great. I like unusual boarders make set's it apart from the norm. nice touch!

not to sure about the sealing? a bit Swedish sauna. done of the back of your advice i take it.

I know all the scratches are for rustic purposses, but In this case I think they are a little OTT and make the floor look more like it's ready to be replaced.... they look absolutly knackard

looks great DG, I love the picture rail height border and the diamond sets, very impressive!

Mmm, not alot i could do here the joiner already had his spoke in for that. Doesnt really suit the rest of the house. Painted & skimmed plasterboard would have been the ticket!

Its just the quartz (or calcite) veining in the marble. Sort of suited the house as its old. Lovely victorian tiling downstairs in the large hallway.

Nice work Davy,
love the floor and all,i'v done similar up in dundalk for a customer a couple of years ago.
I like the high border,i do it myself too usually below the top tile or first joint above window,looks sweet and makes some rooms look bigger(thats what i say anyway,lol).
That glass pic of mine you looked at was unusual colours(hotel job,there were 3 different sets of colours total)
keep up the good work.

[Corky]

[garythetiler]

looks really classy Davey fair play to you

[brian c]

GOOD JOB DAVEY.....nice pics.

[Saltire69]

Looks good Davy. Thought the same as Fekin but when i read that it was Victorian, thought that they might be going for older look.

[Derry]

nice job davy, thanks for sharing the pics

[cornish_crofter]

No wonder you got a tip.

My customer was too tight for that when I virtually lived at his place doing 4 bathrooms! Property developer type.

Having said that I'm not complaining.

[foxman]

Good job mate.

[toffo]

not 2 sure about the scratches but the rest looks good
