Use the following design considerations when coordinating this service with a wider project. Agree which parts apply to your request.
Review samples beside retained skirtings, doors and mouldings.
What the drawing needs to explain
Prepare a detail sheet for the door, frame, skirting and wall together. Identify retained elements, refinished surfaces and locations requiring bespoke work.
How to review the result
Review junctions against the detail sheet. Check that retained doors move freely and new layers do not obstruct hardware, hinges or ventilation provisions.
Cost factors for this service
Format, pattern, cutting and detail work determine the labour involved.
Bring this to the discussion
Dimensions, chosen tiles, fitting positions and substrate photographs.
Questions about the work
Can large tiles work in a small room?
