Beware Allan Travitine needs lots of work to keep in good nick. It needs sealling regular due to the fact its porous. I was looking at it for my bathroom walls, now I going for porcalaine.

well thats the end of travertine, my mate had tiles like this that needed treating and they were so much of a nightmare he stripped them out

very true, i did the same thing, porcalaine for me too

You can get travitine look tiles in ceramic and porcalaine looks the same without the pain in the ass

aha 15 is not a lot ,anyway 470 sounds just about right to be honest . what about adhesive and grout what make are you buying ??

bal high quality (german)

and hell yeah bargain there mate !!

just to get good tiler )))

ah, nice one bud, im will take pics as i go, ive took all bumps out of my walls with new walls or scraping them, they are quite true nowam gonna fill my bath trim with silicone and set it level, have already sealed my bath as i put it in by using a grab fast adhesive so now water will get past the side of the bath at all

 

any help is appreciated though

 

cheers bud

ok thats fine as long as everything is neatly siliconed thats cool . but please prime the walls with primer supplied by bal as that is essential ! apart from that check your level weather its leveling as it should do , hope its at least stabila .(i thing its the best spirit level maker on the market (germany again )))

is it powder adhesive or ordinary ready mix ??

its powder mix i think, the tiles im getting wont allow readymix to be used on them, not sure why though

 

level is spot on, i have had it checked

much apprecitae the advice bud
