Some progress on a retail store in the Hyatt Kaanapali. A few substrate issues to deal with. Caesar tile in 18" x 18" for the field and 12" x 24 " for the border all the way from Italy. The designer is based in Tennessee.

And the public bathrooms in a health food store in Kahului. Florim tile shipped all the way from Tennessee. Purchased from a company in Albany,NY. And this designer is based in Yonkers, NY. The strange world of retail design.

The Caesar tile got here faster. But it was in stock in chilly California.

Response to Brian of bctile601 about the quartz up on deck...... 4 pieces actually but this guy was good with installation and seaming it. You have to look close to see any seams.

Henry, nice install

Creative Materials, like Brian said. They're just an office, no warehouse, nothing in stock, not a real tile store, but a real $ making machine, lol.

Maybe we should have a separate plank tile thread and we could keep all your spam out of this one.

Jim that was a pretty good one



That Laticrete 125 is still one of the weirdest thinsets I've worked with but dang good stuff. I've used it on a couple condominium bathroom floors.

Here's one I crammed in before i head out to long beach. Was at it till 6pm saturday. Traditional mud shower, 2 1/2"X4 7/8"X5/8" glazed ceramic tile field...very imperfect, expensive stuff. Sonoma glass stripe with derango stone herringbone mosaic floor. All set with Tec 3 in 1. Drain grate was too fancy for the plumber to trust the tile guy.
