What we all working on this week ?

[king of pipes]

I have a insurance job to try and rescue a poorly installed quad shower the customer wants to save the tiling if possible and has a few spare so fingers crossed it may work , the loss adjuster allowed em £1500 that will just about cover materials. Kop

My above comment was me messing mate. We all have off days, or in my case weeks

But your right dumbo here forgot to add the 30 mm

We've all been there Shaun sure you'll get over it Here one I'm working on. Kop

I've given over with the trims, weak points tbh IMO

I don’t use internal corner trims, butt and scribe and then a minimal silicone bead is better I think.

However need trims on edges, although have you tried Aquamura, they do a 1200 board with one long edge finished the same as the surface - really neat job possible without a single trim used!

Yeah I use the end trims, just not the corners. Not convinced how water tight they are, the board only lips in 5mm or so. No haven't heard of them, tbh I always use MultiPanel as haven't had any issues with them. I'll have a look

 

[Harvest Fields]

Multipanel for me and a bead of silicone down the edge of the internal corners

You been doing floor tiling, or am I missing something?

You been doing floor tiling, or am I missing something?

For certain customers yes. This was sort of a job that grew.
Started off moving the cloakroom ready for an extension next year. So tile cloakroom floor, wc and basin etc. Then it was we have these tiles for the hall but I dont want my husband to do them. So I cracked on.

Wouldn't generally just do a Tiling only job.

 

[Harvest Fields]

How did you level the floor mate?

 

[SimonG]

How did you level the floor mate?

Normally I would do a pour of self levelling but it was pretty good. I used a few of the levelling clips by the staircase as it was a little out.

 

[king of pipes]

All done at last please no more grey

Cost is on the above link, hours involved I think it depends on how quickly you pick it up and get the questions right?
