Tiling

HERE IS THE MODEL: FLOOR 1: I TESTED THE CUTTING /HONING AND EDGE POLISHING OF THE OCEAN BLACK SLATE AND IT WAS FAST AND EASY. WALLS 1: I'M THINKING THAT THE SHOWER TILE THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN MAY BE TOO DARK SANDSTONE-LIKE VERSUS THIS SHOWER THAT YOU LIKED. A LIGHTER UNIQUE SIZED TILE MAY BE BETTER. ORIGINAL COMMENT: A Larger room, yes but you could do this colour pallet with a white veined granite and a 6x12 Herringbone floor; sourced or cut from 12x12 slate.)

Q

FLOOR 2: HERE IS HERRINGBONE IN 4 X 16 WHICH SUITS THIS ROOM SIZE AND YOURS. THE PROPORTION IS THE SAME AS 6 X24 BUT I'M GOING TO TRY 4 X 24 WITH THE OCEAN BLACK SLATE JUST TO SEE THE EFFECT. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHTLY SLOPED DIVIDE AT THE SHOWER ENTRY to break the floor between level room and sloped shower. WALLS 2; LIGHTER THAN CHOSEN AND THE MODEL.

Q

FLOOR 3: 4 X 24 A BIT LONG AND THIN BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK

Q

FLOOR 4: THIS IS 6 X 24 AND SEEMS LARGE EVEN IN A LARGER ROOM THAN YOURS. IF THE 4X24 TEST SEEMS TOO BUSY I WILL DOWNSIZE TO 4 X16

Q

FLOOR 5: 6 x 24 SEEMS TOO BIG

Q

FLOOR 6: 6 x 18 LOSES THE EFFECT

Q

FLOOR 7: 12 X 24 TOO LARGE FOR THE ROOM BUT HERE IT IS FOR REF.

Q

FLOOR 8: 4 X 12 TOO SMALL

Q

FLOOR 9 12 X 24 HERRINGBONE SQUARE LAY

Q

FLOOR 10 6 x 12 HERRINGBONE SQUARE LAY

Q

HEX 1 FOR THE RECORD, THE SIZE THAT I FOUND AT STONE TILE.

Q

HEX 2 SIMILAR COLOUR TO WHAT I FOUND BUT 5 or 6" sides versus 8"

Q

HEX 3 A BIT SMALLER THAN I FOUND

Q

WALLS 2:; A BIT WORRIED THE 12 X 24 TILE WE CHOSE MAY BE TOO DARK AND SHAPE TOO COMMON LIKE ABOVE. I'D LIKE YOU TO CONSIDER A DIFFERENT STAGGERED 1/3 LAY, VERSUS BRICK LAY.

Q

WALLS 3; THIS IS VERRRRY MUCH THE PATTERN OF THE TILE THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN. SIZE DIFFERS Still like or would a whiter/lighter version suit with longer proportions?

Q

WALLS 4; SAME TONE AND SIZE A CHOSEN TILE.

Q

WALLS 5; IF YOU STILL LIKE THIS LOOK I HAVE FOUND A REALLY EXCELLENT PORCELAIN TILE MIMICKING THIS MARBLE. clean lines (Very Nice) (( We think so too, is it safe from dating the bathroom? ))

Q

WALLS 6 AND BENCH 1; FOUND A REALLY EXCELLENT PORCELAIN TILE MIMICKING THIS MARBLE.

Q

WALLS 7 FOUND A REALLY EXCELLENT PORCELAIN TILE MIMICKING THIS MARBLE. GOES NICELY WITH THE SLATE AND THE COUNTER.

Q

WALLS 8 FOUND THIS EXACT SHOWER TILE SIZE....YOU'RE PROBABLY THINKING TOO SMALL AND BRICKY?

Q

WALLS 9 Like the shower, tile and glass, don't like the vanity IS IT THE LONGER TILE YOU LIKE?

Q

WALLS 10 Like the tiling, the accent and the flooring LONGER TILE AGAIN??

Q

WALLS 11 FOUND A VERRRRY SIMILAR TILE WITH A LONGER LOOK ON THE WEEKEND.THIS IS PROBABLY 8 X 36 I FOUND 6 X 36 AND WOULD OFFSET LAY IT BUT NOT ALLOW THE STAIRCASE PATTERN LIKE THIS.

Q

WALLS 12 TILE LONGER THAN THE 12 X 24"

Q

BENCH 2 HOW A BOX OR CANTILEVER BENCH WOULD WORK: Extend the linen closet wall into the shower area 14" to capture a 14" wide 17" high wall to wall shower bench. Benefits: *The open bathroom door would not overlap the showerglass but open against and be framed by the painted wall AS VIEWED IN THE MIRROR. *The longer wall would be 34" making space for a 24" HAND towel bar.

Q

BENCH 3 A BENCH WOULD LOOK LIKE THIS AS VIEWED FORM THE TOILET CORNER OF THE ROOM

Q

BENCH 4, DRAIN 1 AND NICHE 1 WOULD YOU RATHER HAVE A TILED DRAIN COVER OR A STAINLESS STEEL GRATE LIKE THE BASEMENT?

Q

BENCH 5 I COULD DO A CANTILEVER BENCH IN 1 3/4" THICK SLATE

Q

BENCH 6 A flip up seat like this is less expensive to install than a bench with stone seat (Like it - but will it become dated? ) YES THIS MAY DATE, SO LETS DO A BOX OR CANTILEVER BENCH AT THE CLOSET END. LOTS OF SPACE FOR IT.

Q

GLASS AND NICHE 2 AS THE GLASS DOOR ( FLIPPED L/R) MAY BE SPLIT 60/40 IF THE WALL ISN'T EXTENDED FOR A BENCH

Q

FOR REF THIS IS JUST A BIT GREYER THAN THE COUNTER YOU BOUGHT. White Macaubas Quartzite is a completely natural stone that is about the same hardness of granite, but looks like marble. This means it can be cared for just like granite, while giving the kitchen the elegance of marble.

Q

NICHE 3 NICE EFFECT FOR ANY WALL ALTHOUGH WE DISCUSSED THE EAST WALL TO KEEP IT OUT OF SIGHT. YOU LIKE? EAST WALL? DR WALL? OR WEST WALL?
