Terrazzo Tiles

PDFPrintE-mail

We have gotten started on yet another job.  This one is new construction at a home being built by Bruce Mears Designer/Builder in South Bethany Beach.  The homeowner picked out a Terrazzo tile for most of the upstairs.

With all the Ditra Matting installed and the job laid out, Josh is seen installing the 16" x 16" tile on diagonal in the Great Room.  Josh is butting these tiles together with a minimal grout joint to give the installation more of a "slab" look.

Of course Josh's ever faithful assistant "Beers" is seen here continuing to get things set up including the new "containment tent" that is seen just behind Beers in which the wet saw is encased

Another shot of this containment tent which keeps all the overspray/water in the small confined area around the wet saw.  This allows Josh and Beers the ability to set up their work station right inside the house!

Finally, we have installer Jason tending to the business one floor below, by installing the bathrooms in a white 6" x 6" ceramic tile on diagonal.  These baths will also feature a 48" high wainscot in a 3" x 6" subway tile.

Chicago Reclaimed Brick

Recently we completed another kitchen floor.  This one however, was a bit different as we installed a used brick as specified from the job-site's designer, Mark Showell of Mark Showell Interiors (www.markshowellinteriors.com).  This used brick had been reclaimed, cut with a band saw to a 3/8" thickness (for flooring) and shipped out from Chicago.  Our job was simply to install these fine...

Justin's Beach House

Recently we completed a job that I considered as so much more than just a job.  We were chosen to be a part of a very special building project called the Justin's Beach House Project.  Justin W. Jennings was a young man who diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor in July of 1988.  This news came to Justin just one month prior to entering his freshman year at Penn State.  Though he was very much...

Waves of Tile

Recently we completed another kitchen backsplash.  This particular tile is a bit on the unique side of things since it is fashioned in the form of a wave or a scroll look.  Our installer Jason was tested, but proved once again to be the better when it came to installing this natural stone. By the time I caught up with Jason he was getting the grouting completed.  I will simply let the pictures...

Breaking the Weather

When our recent customer found water coming in his back door he realized that he needed something besides the hardwood flooring as a "weather break" at this area.  We were happy to accommodate by cutting this maple flooring back to an approximate 24" width and inserting these beautiful pebbles.  We then installed our waterproof, mold proof, stain proof grout called Spectra...

A Ceramic Area Rug

Well, after taking most of the summer off from blogging, I figured with fall in the air it was a good time as any to get back to writing and posting.  Today I thought I would feature a Hotel Lobby floor that we tackled in the town of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. This hotel lobby floor was upgraded by using  non-slip 12" x 12" porcelain tiles with a simple border to create this "area rug" effec...
