Hi
I am building a house in Mexico. I was planning on useing ceramic floor tiles to finish floors, but because some of the walls are not as square as they should be (thanks, master laborer), and not wanting this to be so evident with the tile joints (flooring) against the walls, I was thinking of maybe pouring a finish concrete slab (with some sort of coloring mixed in) and then embedding some ceramic tiles into the slab and flush with its surface.
None of the tiles would be placed any closer than 2-3 feet from the walls. There would then be the finished concrete border totally surrounding the tiles and the visual problem with un-square walls would not be so evident.
I have done some research on the compu about useing a concrete 'cap' of some kind. Would this be better than just the actual tinted concrete surface surrounding my tiles?
Being in Mexico, I am at the mercy of materials available but would appreciate any help/suggestions on this project.
Thank you in advance,
Paul
