Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 May 15, 2011 11:10 am I have had a look at the building commission standards and it it basic in sayng that tiling is defective if it has joints that are not uniform , of even width, aligned or in the same plane. It also says that grout lines are defective if they are not, as far as practical, of consistent width. What I wanted to know is if there is a further definition that makes this more specific. I can see that my tiles are not lining up at the corners, it is probably only 1 or 2 mm, would this be considered defective? In some areas the grout line (not yet filled) is much smaller on the horizontal compared to the vertical, again around the 1 -2 mm mark. There are also a few tiles that have corners chipped off, again in the area of just mm's. There are 2 tiles which are clearly sticking out, so I imagine that this would be easy to point out. Can anyone give me advice to help me investigate if my tiling is defective in areas? I am not sure how my builder will respond, particularly as the tiler is his cousin. Would they be able to blame the tiles? They were chosen by us and bought by him as a prime cost item, they are porcelain, 600 x 600 on the floor and 300 x 600 for the walls, they were $49/m. If the tiles are being blamed then I would argue that it would have been evident to the tiler as he was laying and that they then should have brought this up with the company they bought the tiles from. What do people think? Building Standards; Getting It Right! Don't think they are designed for double brick. WA has a particular way of building and unfortunately that's the way a large amount of sills are finished. 3 7005 I believe this is correct. From the picture you can see the power was put in last so the electrician knew where the water was. Really it's a common sense issue more… 4 5152 2 8645 |
