POLL: Kidney, Rectangle or Infinity... What shape pool would you get?
Q
Comments (8)
Most of the pools we build and see in the UK are the classic rectangle probably due to practicality more than any other reason. They're more compatible with automatic covers, the swimming area is greater, heat loss & evaporation is less than with an infinity pool and they're a safer option if you're considering resale value as free-form/kidney shapes can be a bit like marmite to some. But rectangles needn't be boring! We're finding an increasing trend of adding features like integrated spas, sun-decks, multi-coloured lighting, bubble jets cascades & fountains to name but a few. Swimming ponds have been an interesting development in the UK recently coinciding with the rise of open water swimming - though they have been around since the 80s in Germany. They rely on more natural solutions for water quality such as gravel beds, plantlife and zooplankton.

What colour tile trim with my new grey wall tiles?

Hi, If you haven't already purchased the trims, I've just done a quick search and found that places like topps tiles do aluminium trims in different trims including grey if they are of any interest to you. I've attached a link below for you to take a look. http://m.toppstiles.co.uk/tprod47141/regal-straight-edge-trim-grey-125mm.html

tile around a vanity? or push up against textured pencil tile/caulk?
Q

vanity is full cabinet on 3" legs. using your pic, the right hand side is a full floor to ceiling wall and the left hand side is a half wall next to a glass enclosed shower. the half wall height next to the shower is 40" tall thus that height reference. remodeler plan is to tile from floor up to the 40" mark and all the way around all 3 walls to provide decorative backdrop since the vanity isn't as wide or as tall as the alcove. what I am unclear on is whether it's standard practice to tile behind a full cabinet vanity or not? remodeler suggests tiling the entire alcove in the event we have to replace the vanity for any reason, that way we don't have to try and find/match tile for any different exposures. my second question is since the tile is a textured pencil tile and the vanity doesn't have a backsplash (simply flat surface marble top) - remodeler suggests tiling fulll alcove first and then mounting vanity to back wall and caulking the vanity to the textured tile. this approach would use the textured tile as the backsplash (6" of the tile will be showing above vanity).

Hi Clare, Looking at the image, there certainly isn't a huge amount of space from top of tile to bottom of window. But that, to my mind, isn't a particularly convincing "excuse" - that would suggest the contractor has done what was easiest, cheapest and most expedient for him, rather than reprofiling the sill to do a more professional job. Again, I would have expected any contractor to flag that during the build before tiling. That would have given you an opportunity to discuss the pros & cons of the different approaches and make a decision. If it were unforeseen and only came to light once the room was stripped out, I would have felt it reasonable for the contractor (if done at that stage) to request a small additional payment to cover a little more labour and any minor materials, had you indicated a desire to have more of a slope or to perhaps have had a solid sill installed. But puddling at the back of the sill really isn't ideal. The other aspect that leaves me suspicious is that it looks as though the sill has been set at a height whereby there is an exact number of WHOLE tiles in height from resting on your shower tray to the bottom of the sill. It is most unusual that spacing falls like that! Normally I would expect to see the tiles lust below the window trimmed around it. It may be the contractor couldn't be bothered to do so, so has packed UP the window sill - again a short cut - but you could not know this without taking it apart. And it just might have been the tiler got lucky and everything aligned perfectly...
