Something a bit different I was working on this week. Sicis custom Caleidos mosaics in Murano Marble and glass. Mesh backed, each 'sheet' is just over 700mm x 700mm and 10mm thick. I used Kerakoll No Limits Bio Gel adhesive and they were grouted with N&C black Starlike epoxy, which is nice stuff to clean.
Most of the room will have a skirting so i wasnt too bothered about any chipping, but the cuts around the middle wall will be seen. I used Montolits Mosaic 2 glass blade on my grinder (its also suitable for stone), its a nice thin blade and just kept it cool with water to stop the glass shattering and it worked a treat.

Wow been a little while since this thread has been used.
We could do with more guys adding to this thread.

Here’s a shower room I did couple months back, Garythetiler and Mark Frost also came along to help. It was Gary that put me forward for the job, so when he had a few spare days he came along and got involved too.
Prep had been done by other, Mark and I ripped it out and started again from almost scratch. But we left them with this.
It’s 3.2m x 1.6m x 6mm Florim. Very nice material.

How wide are the doors on your house? Pretty wide I'd say to get that big head through....









Yes I am only jealous

See,
that’s exactly why I’ve stopped posting work.

Soooo, here’s the shower room downstairs
Same problems and same material.
These were more challenging, much higher ceiling line and the room wasn’t as wide as one tile. So took a little more thought getting the pieces in, and the room wasn’t as accessible either as the door was on the landing and not in a bedroom where you might have more room to move.

Yeah circumstances play a part, course they do Paul.
But let me ask you this......
Would you swap your lifestyle for mine?
