This week’s turned into a run of smaller jobs after a last-minute change in the diary.
We actually met this lovely couple in B&Q while they were about to purchase black porcelain tiles to install themselves. After a quick chat, I explained the correct way porcelain should be laid—something that’s often overlooked. You’d think places selling these products would have clearer guidance (like the need for slurry primer, full bed, etc.), but that’s not always the case.
We didn’t even have to go see the job, all priced over pictures of the area and the size sent over the quote and got it booked in.
Today we completed this small patio using Porcelain Terralis Dallas in anthracite. Installed properly with a full Type 1 sub-base, each tile slurry primed, and laid on a full bed of mortar.
For a small area, it’s come up really smart—simple, clean, and built to last.👌
