this is the second phase of the antique terracotta job previously posted in this thread.
this time laid on diagonal with border .
first phase has been grouted with 2 parts white cement/ one part grey , and by proportion 1:4 with washed westerham plastering sand.
we are now covering floor with breathable building felt and will return for first seal/ grout and final seal beginning of september.
this t/c needs a few weeks anyway to dry and will let other trades in to do plastering and decorataion.
i utilised the variance of tile size which was up to 10mm to try and get full looking tiles round whole border.
we were only looking on laying about 4 sq mts a day when factoring in time spent grading sizes and percentage proportions .
it was nice to get one of these after a long while. i did masses of these reclaimed terracotta floors up until 10 years ago. got more coming up so it seems t/c may be back in !!!
I even brought out the old sigma 10m for the job.shes been in retirement for some years now working her way in to the undergrowth down at the farm .just right for this type of job.
i have the little brother as well and they dont come out much now but they are still a good workhorse.
very nice batch of reclaimed from lapicida.
The quality of your work is amazing but these images look like CAD or photoshopped images or perhaps you use a light filter on your camera?finished the shower today i posted long time ago. i had a big problem with pci nanofug basalt grout. the customer choosed the color on diffrent sample plates (ardex, sopro and pci). but then the colour was very diffrent from dark to bright but not the color he had selected. i know all the things why this can happend but i have done my best. then the silicone was much brighter. so pci send me a gout renovation. it worked and was very easy to use. i hope it withstands.
in two weeks i has again two bathrooms with the same 100x100 tiles. when this is future, i need a bigger van.
