Dec 2024 - Winckelman's geometric tiles used to form a classic black and white chequerboard floor with border in this Christchurch house's porch; giving a formal feel to the entrance.
My client kindly commented on my insta when I posted it
2024 A mosaic shower room: A bespoke order made by Bisazza of Italy for this Christchurch central project.
A completely remodelled bathroom with Wedi board used for optimum background for the mosaics and to form the niches, bench, and Wedi Rialto shower-base.
A porcelain 60x60 in bright white for the floor gave high contrast and a crisp feel.
A blog post by TileSpace - the suppliers - about our work and the project is
London - large tiles wetroom
This newly formed walk-in shower was prepared and tiled in 2022.
The porcelain tiles are 1200 x 1200 mm
(4' x 4') so exacting measuring and templating is required - only 2 pieces were complete tiles - the rest all had to be worked: cut or shaped.
London - summer 2022. South Kensington
A set of steps we tiled in Wincklemans geometric tiles with Carrara marble risers for Dargie Lewis Designs, on a classic London stucco front residential building. We advised on materials, design and marble choices, then carried out all the installation of the tiled areas and Cararra risers
London - A South Kensington shower room. The wall and floor work is actually over 10 years apart. The clients wanted a new floor in 2022 -
and changed the shower base to a tiled type.
All else is as good as the day I did it. Very nice to have longstanding, ongoing clients !
one of 3 rooms in this St. Albans, Christchurch house where we installed new floor tiles, and undertile heating
A French bar - OuLaLa - in Ferrymead. Metro tiles to the walls and hex mosaic to floor.
Tiles proposed by Colin Barber Tiling, sketched for scheme layout proposals - and then installed.
