This floor is gorgeous!

9 years ago

Is this a 2" hex or 2 1/2" hex? I'm near the Philly area... Would you be able to tell me where you purchased the tile from? I've been to santoro tile in Norristown and a few other places.
Also, did I see an earlier post that this is Bianco carerra?
Thanks

Restoring our 1890 Victorian

2"… I got it up in North Jersey, directly from the importer. It was a few years ago and it wasn't available anywhere near me… Of course, the year after we did that bathroom the larger Carrera hex was available at *every single tile store* I went to for our second bathroom!! If your local place doesn't have it I will be surprised. But they can still order it for you if you tell them what you want.
Good luck with your remodel!

It is a great look and practical as well as the grout creates traction underfoot easily creating great friction co-efficient of 0.5 or greater. Making the room safer but more importantly just a great looking timeless format. Staying in the home or selling it you cannot go wrong with a Hexagon.

But if you are looking to add value to your home then be cautious with the price. The price range out their is huge. Remember if it is 100% Italian Carrara marble then it is from Carrara. There is little point paying $50.00 a Square Foot from the product that came from the same mountain over a product that is $11.75 a Square Foot, Free Shipping and No Tax. Do we sell a lot of this product, yes, containers of it a month. With over 2 million Square Feet in stock over 500 different SKU's we probably have the largest stock pile of Italian marble this side of the Atlantic. (All prices quoted are valid thru 2015).

If you look under the tab "Find Pros" & enter your location you'll get a list of local interior designers. I've seen a couple of houses done by Jodie Cooper Design, very nicely done.

Hi jdublya, happy new year and sorry about the late reply! I ended up doing the safe / lazy thing... left the floor untouched and painted a feature wall deep grey, as well as having two-toned grey curtains to both the sliding doors, and a dark grey area rug. The open plan living / dining gets lots of light, so it's still bright even with all the dark greys. We've paired it with mismatched sofas in light grey and brown, and sage green throws. Overall, it's still a "warm" look and not the cool Scandi look I would have preferred, but it's cozy and the greys have really calmed down the red. It's a lot more to my taste now than the show room furniture was. Bits of the floor finish are coming off though, I think (where the kitchen island stools have been dragged over the years by the past occupant), so in time I will get the opportunity to re-do the floor and it'll no longer be red!

Marciey, do you mind if I ask how you went painting the windows? Any drawbacks, lessons, do’s n dont’s? Has it lasted, or shown signs of wear? Easily scratched? Did you use spray, or brush? Any info and advice would be much appreciated. I’m about to transform our primrose aluminium frames to charcoal, but I’m nervy about creating a future maintenance monster. I’d love to hear how your project went. Ta.

I recommend custom making a dining table using Caesarstone that complements your benchtop using our Lyn Base in a Brushed stainless steel with a navy blue velvet chair that is harmonious with the wall colour and surroundings. This table can be made to any size that suits your space see more details at https://www.mossfurniture.com.au/product/lyn-caesarstone-dining-table/

In accordance with the sealers instructions, you do not want to use any solution that will compromise the sealer that should have been applied (many do not by error or by just not knowing).

The instructions are on the bottle.

Thank you
