Is that a kohler toilet? »
· Comment · 7 months ago
Bill Fry Construction - Wm. H. Fry Const. Co. This looks like a Kohler Memoirs® Stately toilet. It comes with several different options such as elongated bowl, round bowl, lever location etc…
Here’s an example: Kohler Memoirs® Stately Comfort Height® two-piece elongated 1.28 GPF toilet with Class Five® flush system and left-hand trip lever K-3817-0.

Did you use actual beadboard or beadboard tile? »

Sustainable Home it was breadboard, basically a paint grade plywood sheet routed out in a bead board pattern.

hi, can you tell me the measurements, lengthwise for the border tile that you used in the bathtub tiling »

Sustainable Home I assume that you mean the accent tile. It came in a sheet that was 3 " h, and 12" long. It was mesh backed.

Sustainable Home As I recall, it was the Dal tile product, but it is a couple of years now since I designed this bath. Thank you so much for the kind words, I loved this project and these clients, it was a pleasure to work on this home.

joining the beadboard and tile - I love how you transitioned from beadboard to tile. Is that a bullnose edge? I wasn't sure how to join the two in my bath and I think yours looks wonderful »
· Comment · 12 months ago
jimmordino Could you explain that more? Are you saying there is no bullnose the entire verticle edge? The edge tiles appear to be wider than a simple 1/4 round tile trim. Any chance that you have a closer shot of that transition? It really is nice.

Sustainable Home the tile is on concrete backer board so it is a 1/4 round rather than a bullnose. Does that help? I could try and go past their house, but don't know how soon I could do that and get a picture up.

Can you please tell me what size tile was used around tub and on walls. Thank you. »
· Comment · 13 months ago
3D-Tile-Design - Bertram Tasch Hello birdiee,

Tiles have most common sizes measured in mm. Only a couple tiles produced in the USA and Mexico have sometimes imperial sizes.

A single mosaic tile like the accent / ornamental border is usually 25 mm x 25 mm (1"x1") and sometimes 20 mm x 20 mm (13/16 x 13/16) Which is the case here.

So when you count the mosaic tiles, there are ca. 7 pcs. per 1 white tile. 7 x 20 mm + 140 mm + 7 joints x ca. 1 mm + 7 mm in total = 147 mm. So the wall tiles are ca. 150 mm x 150 mm or in imperial: 6" x 6" (nominal)

Here is another way to calculate it: A bathtub is usually about 750 mm wide. You can count 5 tiles above the tub. 750 mm : 5 tiles = 150 mm

So the size of the tiles is most likely 150 mm x 150 mm (6" x 6")

If you have any further questions or if you need any advise, we will be glad to help you.

Regards,

Sustainable Home yes, that was a 4" by 8" tile. I have used the one by American Olean for a couple of projects, and it is one of the most reasonable ones I have found. Several tile manufacturers make this size.

limerickclifton Kohler Memoirs Collection. It appears to have a round bowl instead of elongated. The pedestal sink is from the Memoirs Collection, as well.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
A classic octagonal tile is the perfect counterpoint to a more modern stripe of mosaic tile in the shower surround in this bathroom by Sustainable Home of Palo Alto, California. Designer Kristen Flynn notes that the mosaic is an affordable option by Dal-Tile.
