Laticrete GTA

The stainless steel was quite heavy. I'm guessing the whole thing weighed in around 75 or 80 pounds

Nice work Paul, the tile looks completely different under the light.

Even though it was hard it would have been a lot harder to set that pattern on the wall with the massive stove in your way.

What grout are you going to use?

Since the tiles were thinsetted to the front of the kerdi yesterday, we grouted with Fusion today, right after we hung it on the wall and massaged it into place. Top is caulked with grey latex, The sides at the cabinets with CBP bright white caulk, the bottom edge was caulked with silver caulk used for gutters, but it flowed a bit too much to use any place else.

Nelson,

If you look at the previous picture we tried that as best we could but the tiles were the wrong sizes to accomplish that.

It was my first choice to basket weave the stainless, but alas it didn't make a difference in the final product as you couldn't tell it was done.

Brian love the numbers, did you playem

Scott yes you have been busy, everything looks great. I have used crackle tile quite a few times by Apex.

Paul, awesome stove splash thanks for explainin how you did it. Can't believe it is so heavy won't hurt the stove though if it falls

Current job in Stratford Woods, Harrisburg. John working in the 30X18" niche, cutout same width. Customer built this wall and took out the closet to expand the shower.

Was invited back to see Mancave this morning in Lebanon, baseball theme. Marca Corona 1741 plank tiles.

Pick of the floor the way we last saw it

Finished this curb less shower and bathroom floor tile in Riverview, Florida.
They had a stand up shower and garden tub and all the wood was rotted and had termites. We gutted, replaced studs and converted the tub area into a standing area and then made the recessed shower a new curb less shower.
Shower was waterproofed with Laticrete HydroBan.
The glass guy will install his glass on the 12x12 and 2x2 line 5' out.

Homeowner totally loves how it came out.
