When contrast and texture are taken into consideration, landscape can be beautiful in a great many ways.

Not entirely black, this hand painted glass subway tile is much more than plain black. Touches of gray work with a cool palette for a black tile that is simply beautiful to admire. Ultra dark hues play as blacks in this intriguing mix of black and gray de-saturated wonderfulness.The size is a contemporary shape that allows it to be used in smaller areas such as a trim around bathroom, or in larger areas such as the entire tubs surround or bathroom backsplash. The tiles come individually packaged so that you can choose to play with the pattern. Either way you go, this tile will be the fantastic feature to your next bathroom remodel.

Here’s a quick job I completed in the coastal town of Eastbourne in East Sussex. While more commonly I am asked to work on entire floors, this customer was specifically interested in restoring a small doorway-like area with Quarry tiled flooring, the reason being that it had been covered for a long time by an old wardrobe and dog basket. As a result, the area had not been properly cared for, becoming very dusty and dirty. Also revealed were some unsightly splashes of white paint from previous decoration work.
The customer was keen to finally give this area of the floor the attention it needed, and so asked me to come in to provide a thorough clean and lay down some fresh sealer.
My first task was actually to relocate the old wardrobe and dog basket to the garage to get the area ready for cleaning. Then, to begin the cleaning process, I stripped away any old existing sealer and the white paint splashes by using Tile Doctor Remove & Go stripper in combination with a wire brush. Remove & Go is a versatile product that can also be used to break down glues and other adhesives.
I then washed the area down with water and promptly vacuumed up any moisture, before sitting down with a heat gun for an hour to dry the tiles. Usually a floor should be left for up to 48 hours to dry completely before sealing, but in this case the area was so small that I was able to dry it in the space of an hour.
Nonetheless, I opted to install a fan and leave the floor for an extra hour over lunch to ensure any excess moisture was removed. This is really important to do before sealing, as any remaining moisture can cloud the sealer and damage its performance.
To complete the restoration, I sealed the tiles using nine coats of the topical, water-based sealer Seal & Go, which is suitable for building up surface protection against dirt and stains on internal unsealed porous surfaces such as Victorian, Quarry and Sandstone tiles. The Quarry tiles were quite porous, which is not uncommon for Quarry Tiles and really soaked up the sealer.
As the photographs show, the results of the restoration were very good, with smiles all round – including from the slightly bemused family dog!
