Tile cutting problem! any ideas?

I am doing a shower room for a customer and they have a curved shower tray. The tiles are porcelain (40/40's) She wants a clean cut through the tiles to follow the curve of the shower tray with a 5mm grout line. The option of taking the shower tray out, tiling the whole floor and sitting the tray on top of the tiles is out unfortunately. How can I cut a continuous curve across a few tiles and what would be the best type of cutter to use. Continue

Double the exposure

We've slowly started adding the profile details from TilerSpace onto the UK Tiler Register, why? Extra exposure for quality tilers and tiling services of course, promoting the good guys all the way. So if you've filled in all those contact details in your profile, you'll soon see your details appearing on www.tilerregister.co.uk and links from that site back to your profile page on TilerSpace. Free exposure is good exposure. Continue

TilerSpace Copied

Yes our idea for a social network for tilers has been copied already and I'd have to say that I'm really quite flattered. Not only have they used the same ideas as us, they also used the very same platform and software to launch their site. Maybe it's just the next step on Dan's mission of internet attacks against myself? A bit like his blog post for 'Professional Tilers in Nottingham' that was supposed to take the top spots on Google and strike fear into my very heart - where's that post rank… Continue

Phone number no longer a requirement

I've received word that there were concerns about the requirement for a phone number on tilerspace.com - as a result the requirement has been lifted. It was there just to ensure that you could network as efficiently as possible with other tilers and hopefully potential customers. Please note that no one from either the Tiler Register or tilerspace.com has ever or will ever call you to sell you anything. Cheers all, Dave Continue

Getting the most from TilerSpace

I'm sure you've heard the expression 'World Wide Web'. TilerSpace helps create those web-like connections between you, your business and other tradesmen and tiling related products. It would be fair to say that the members with the most connections and the ones that generate the most content (photos, videos, blogs) get the most exposure. For example, if a potential customer or Google drops into my page, it also finds all the members linked to my profile, all the photos and all the groups; so th… Continue
