Thanks!
Tiles are Winckelmans encaustic cement, 70mm square. Using 'Ontario' beige and 'Red'. Found some dude who imports them direct from the French manufacturer for cheaper than the wanky UK 'Victorian mosaic' suppliers.
Gonna build a dogleg 'return' on the right side of the bath box, which will form an extended base for the shower glass. Was gonna have a matching tiled shower base, but swapped last minute for an orthodox shower tray (almost flush with floor) as I just cannot be arsed with the long-term maintenance of a shower base full of small-ish encaustic tiles and shitloads of grout lines.
ectoplasmosis
Bath flipped, tiles going up, brick slips going on…
Discovered the first big fuck-up on my part; I miscalculated the width of the central pier, so the brick slips didn’t line up. Had to get the angle grinder out to re-jig the entire picture window aperture 40mm to the left.
Another side effect is we will now have a single column of bricks under the picture window that will be 30mm narrower than the rest… gonna make my eye twitch into eternity sozlol.
