Kitchen TilesThe smaller kitchen tiles being laid. Although it would be easy enough to get away with a wet mix one pass application, the tiler here also uses the dry mix two step process. Here the weber adhesive cement is being applied.dozerSep 27, 2011

Close UpA close up showing how the adhesive stays mostly on the bottom of the tiles and doesn't fill the grout line. dozerSep 27, 2011

Cardboard SheetingCardboard rolls are used to protect the drying tiled surface prior to it being grouted. The cardboard rolls is widely available and is widely used in high end commercial projects.dozerSep 27, 2011

Mixing DrymixAnother batch of dry mix with the finished tile floor in the background.dozerSep 27, 2011

DrymixAnother shot of the tiles partially installed. Notice the guide line and dry mix concrete.dozerSep 27, 2011

SpacersThe spacers used are just box wrap that is about .75 mm in width. We've switched to using these instead of the plastic spacers as it is about the right grout line with most tiles.dozerSep 27, 2011

Two StepThe granito tiles are first laid and leveled in dry pack and then weber adhesive is applied to the back of the tile.dozerSep 27, 2011

Granito TilesThese are the heavy granito tiles, each weighing appx 7.5 kg each. They are laid much like granite or marble because of their weight. Many 'tilers' don't know how to do a proper job with granito and I have seen it done wrong many times.dozerSep 27, 2011

Video Showing Granito Tile LayingThis is a 7 minute video showing the process for laying granito tiles. It is a bit funky in that the tiler goes really slow because of the camera, but it demonstrates in general how it should be done. The main thing to note is that it is a two step process using dry mix concrete as a base. dozerSep 27, 2011

Lower Strap ConnectionThe strap used to hold the ceiling frame in place. dozerSep 27, 2011

Upper Strap ConnectionThe aluminum strap attaches to the tile batten or the roof structure. These strap type attachers are always better than wire. 1 commentsdozerSep 27, 2011

Repair WorkThis was not easy repair work done (because of lack of access) done by the wood working group. Part of the screen cover had not be laid correctly and there was an opening with no screen protection. dozerSep 27, 2011
