Sir I was down in South Florida 15 years ago laying tile, Assistant manager at Coldwell Bankers, ask me retile her bathroom and bedroom, I went in there with my palm recorder, which I use on every job I've ever done, and I came across the most incredible gorgeous tile! I've ever seen in my life, Each tile had a Emerald green star with a Mediterranean blue background. The (stars)were 3" from point to point, I asked her how old was this house? she said it was built in 1878, But through the years and renovation,on it she couldn't tell exactly about everything else. Each tile,was approximately 4 7/8 to 5 in, width and length, at closer, examination I could tell that they were handmade tiles, Several of them, you can still see the brush marks in the glaze, I asked a lot of the other contractors, and they were telling me that Portugal and Spain, produced a lot of tiles for South Florida, can you give me any information, from your years of experience? I told her not to have her bathroom and bedroom retiled, it would only increase the value of her home. thank you, any information would be helpful.

I’m wondering how they don’t warp. Great video.

[@nokuphilagwala2517]

That's what I want to know...

[@ericgladestone8278]

proper drying and firing

[@lwedel3361]

The clay has lots of Molochite it in. They said it’s very coarse so I would guess that this is why.

[@MrMartinoef]

@@lwedel3361 Yep The Molochite acts like a grog - which is hard & doesn't react with the firing it opens up the clay body to allow a more even drying & gives strength. He said they were wiped down on surface side to get rid of any holes that will make pin holes in the glaze. Uneven drying will cause warping which is why they lay them on slats so air can circulate both sides.

Lovely

Great

[@monicasinclair-smith9363]

I am surprised no texture is applied to the back of the tile to help it adhere to the wall as with most commercial tiles - anyone know why not? Need to know as planning on making my own tiles.

[@lwedel3361]

@Monica Sinclair-Smith It is a bit unusual. I run a metal rib with a jagged edge across the backs of mine. For the glue to adhere better. Maybe I need to test not doing it haha

И что британцы? Со всего мира нахапали, а потом ноги вытерли о тех у кого нахапали, а теперь из себя хороших строят, этот чувак печи разгружает на битве керамистов, пока Кейт малоун свои обсессивно компульсивные вазы крафтит и передачки ведёт

Ever watched the movie Get Out!, I see a english white male inside this Richard's body.
