Wow! It's been a while since I posted. February 18 to be exact. So I've done a couple of jobs recently that have involved materials not commonly used in homes these days. ...but they will be in the near future. The one is an 18x18 porcelain tile installed for a shower surround. Most people, at least in the Milwaukee area, use smaller tiles. However larger format tiles are on the rise in popularity and are showcased in magazines as commonly as 12x12's. The second photo shows a 12x24 tile. An awesome sized tile. Very unique. But, only unique now. So get on your horse and have it installed before it becomes common.
Please excuse the lack luster photo taking ability I've shown here. We'll post some better ones at the end of the job.
Note to installers: In the second photo you'll notice a pice of Custom Building Products new wall backerboard Easyboard. The Easyboard was used in the shower and I'll write more about that later. This entry is getting long enough as it is.
Note to installers and designers: The tile layout landed with a couple of the tiles at the living area which were a very small size. 2" to be exact. We didn't want to offset the tile layout to compensate for that. Instead we cut a couple pcs. of tile to create a threshold. It worked out excellent and the pics of the finished job will be even better.
