Pebbs thats amazing work:yikes:

How did you cut the central compass emblems? Water jet or by hand?

 

[Pebbs]

Aww thanks for that glad you like it.
Water jetted, and then found that everything else had been oversized and to be cut on site :mad2: Then found out that the central point has to line up with the chandelers which meant I had to start the setting out all again. Slow work, but its coming along nicely now.

I did a very similar job, only in travertine, in an office building a few years back and had the exact same problem Lyn:mad2: Only I sent the whole lot back to the water jet company who turned it back around in 48hours for me

Some time ago I advertised for some stone fixers for this portland stone staircase, anyway it was all good and the job got done. These are a few photos from some of the areas we did, I'll try and post some other areas later this week. Had a bit of a quarrel on site and didnt feel like taking any more.

Before any of you eagle eyed lovlies point it out, yes I am aware of the gap between the treads and the stringers...My stone was in first so they messed that part up...time for a snagging session I think!

Just completed these Geometric patterned steps this morning.. tiles were from original style.
Before after shots...
The steps were well out of shape so had to try and square them up as well.
Had to try and keep black step tread mitres the same size on all corners so cross bonding needed to attain this.
Grouted with Mapei 112..and sealed with Aqua mix ultra-solv.

i have a similar floor to lay (from original style) approx 10m2 in a hallway. any idea how long it would take? i thought a few days but my supplier thinks 2 to 2 1/2 weeks! floor has had slc so is nice 'n flat .
