Did I make a mistake not tiling ceiling of shower?
Comments (8)I don't think it's that big of a deal. I didn't want to put the 9"x18" tiles on the ceiling (and as you may recall if you read my post, I used non-calacatta-gold on the floor that would likely have been too obvious on the ceiling. I, too, used the BM Aura bath/spa paint (Mt. Saint Ann on the walls and Dove White on the trim and ceiling) and I have a 9" clearance for steam to escape. The ceiling color really makes it non-disruptive because it's nearly the same color as the tile (slightly more off white though). I think you'll be fine with whatever you choose to do....See MoreSmall 3/4' mosaic waterline tile - mistake?
Comments (25)We have been installing glass in our pools for over a decade, from the waterline, to perimeter overflow, to the entire pool bottom. The right mosaic glass can be stunning and turn your pool / water-feature into a work of art. This info is from the web..but its advise that we typically share with every homeowner. Durability Although known as one of the longest-lasting pool and spa finishing materials, glass tile can be subject to both cracking and chipping, especially when exposed to rapid changes in temperature. Such failures are generally the result of substandard products that have found their way into the market. Research your selected manufacturer and ask friends, your designer, and even your installer for recommendations. A qualified tile worker can often spot a material problem by how well the tiles stand up to being cut for installation (questionable material will chip when cut, for instance). Such overly brittle material will be susceptible to failure. • Rough edges Some glass tile products have sharp edges, due largely to the manufacturing process, as well as trimming during installation. The problem can be eliminated by careful buffing after installation by a qualified installer, but homeowners should always discuss this potential issue with their swimming pool designer and the installer. • Quality installation Glass tile is tricky to install compared to other types of tile. Installations should only be performed by tile setters experienced with the material. Otherwise, the work could be visually marred by uneven grout lines and even subject to failure (such as tiles falling off the surface), sometimes within just a few weeks of the initial installation. http://www.houzz.com/pro/urban-landscape http://urbanlandscape.com/...See MoreI need help with backsplash tile mistake.
Comments (22)Thanks. I talked to the guy giving me the bed and he said you install the counter first so you can securely attach it to the wall which I guess makes sense LOL. He's a friend's nephew and he's a master Carpenter. And he was remarking on what an excellent job the plaster repair person did on my plaster ceiling and he noticed what a great job that I did on installing my doors airtight so it seems like he has a pretty good attention to detail and she's used him to redo many of her many many properties. I do have a backup person though that is meticulous but not working as a tile setter. is a social worker......See MoreTiling bathroom mistake
