minton tiles
We have a minton tiled hallway - a diamond / triangle / rectangle pattern - and we have extended the hallway with a small lobby area near the new downstairs toilet. This area has a bare screed floor at present. We want the new area to look continous with the hall.
The original tiles will be on an uninsulated concrete slab. The options are to carpet the hall or have the minton tiles cleaned / renovated and the new section tiled to match. This would mean cutting the screed down to make space for the new tiles. As you probably know, these tiles do not have grout joins (well perhaps 0.5mm gap in places with "something" in the gap !) and I'm guessing they are fitted by laying direct into screed / concrete and beaten flat with timbers in the old style. Is cleaning up minton tiles and even fitting some more a DIY job ? If not, how much would these jobs cost (*not* London prices !) Simon. |
