This was a brand new pool construction with two basic problems. When we arrived, we found that someone had laid the capping stones 1" out of level (which when the pool was full of water would stand out like a sore thumb) and the plasterers had screeded the pool 'slab' off of the back of the stones so that was 1" out of level too. We had to remove all the capping stones then clean and refix them once all the mosaic was completed. This is the proper sequence for tiling a pool, and ensures that the crucial eyeline where water meets mosaic line is perfect.
This is a fantastic, very bold and unique project in Chislehurst Kent. Built by Richard Clark / Piermont Homes, specified and dressed up by top designer Melody Maddocks. To solve the problem of the swept steps, we pinched a few sheets of mosaic from the swimming pool stock and cut up the main base tiles to form the stringers, treads and risers. I think this is one of the nicest floors we have ever laid. The tiles were polished Jerusalem limestone. Glass was a relatively new product when we fixed this, we tried to create a shower of tiles effect at the end of the bath and even stuck a few to the ceiling.
There is little point in showing loads of pictures of different bathrooms here, we all know what they look like. We will simply show some pics of interesting bits and bobs, problems solved and a few good ideas. This bathroom was a very complicated domestic installation in the barn conversion of a very dear customer. To start with, the base tiles are very heavy, rectified(square edged) 40cm X 40cm gloss polished Porcelain. We first removed all the old plasterboard walls back to the studwork timbers which we then spent a lot of time strengthening, packing out and getting flat, we then filled the stud cavity with insulation before we reboarded it all in 18mm Ply.
