    Default My first opus romano

    Some pics of my sisters kitchen floor, my first attempt at opus ramano. For the eagle eyed one's i reversed the pattern in the middle to stop it being the same all down the sides due to the kitchen being narrow.

    Probably not,too many first rate tilers on here for me to compete against.It's a nice floor and i'm proud of it being my first but there's also a lot of very good jobs on here.

    Looks great for ur first job mate. Just watch your lippage on tiles, very slight and im not downing you at all here, its always good to get opions, you will get better and better. Another pointer is using a limestone grout to blend in with tiles, not everyones choice specially on a kitchen floor but just a thought. Well done mate!
