Thick tiles meet classic coving dilemma
Comments (16)Hi. Jonathan...I like your word embellishment! That sounds like a plan. There are so many words for what I am looking for that it has been quite confusing. I have ordered some samples of architrave and it looks like an ogee or regency pattern will suffice. The difficult bit is that I need to adjust for 8mm to abut to coving but 16 mm to be the same as the tile join point. They sell it in 18mm depth so that might suffice. The real pain is that I need 90 mm width...and that means a cut down job. So...v.i.p. Walls....I might be glad of your link yet. Is there a website? Plaster stuff won't work as you can cut it down. I guess I want it to look like extended coving but that is easier said than done. Not so sure I just want to end the tiles abruptly although I can see the benefits of such simplicity. Thanks to one and all....See Moretile colour dilemma
Comments (12)It's difficult to judge the colour of the quartz on screen. You could perhaps try a light grey subway tile. https://www.porcelainsuperstore.co.uk/wall-tiles/subway-tiles.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwj_XpBRCCARIsAItJiuT1L5avGx2xh9X7U6Akrzw5ZkCPD16XGC8t9cOgJLBg8EttLjCjYLUaAk_dEALw_wcB Or have you considered antiqued mirror glass? https://rougholdglass.co.uk/pages/toughened-antique-mirror-splashbacks?gclid=Cj0KCQjwj_XpBRCCARIsAItJiuRhcZfpi-rj_lt3mce4ADoS6l7pTIzOYUm6COvzMlMs5L69hfxXAfcaAi-CEALw_wcB Or perhaps a patterned tile? For example (just to give you an idea, but there are so many choices out there) https://www.tilemountain.co.uk/kitchen-tiles/range/swing.html Zellige tiles come in many different colours and shades and are really pretty: https://www.zellige-tiles.com/...See MoreHelp! tile dilemma
Comments (8)I agree with @Juliet Docherty. Don't just use them because they were free... You might regret it later on... You've probably put quite a lot into the project so far....go with what you want :)...See MoreKitchen splash-back tiling dilemma
Comments (4)I agree with the builder, that work is shoddy and unprofessional and I would not be happy looking at that in my kitchen. It looks like a DIYer has completed it. In fact I call it a HUTH house! When I watch Homes Under the Hammer, often people buy a house and either do the work themselves or get their mates to refurbish and lots of them end up looking poorly finished for the low end rental market. Any chance that you could ask him to remedy the work though unlikely as you’ve already paid for it. Really sorry that this work was completed in this poor way....See MoreJ
