Hello everyone, the tiling work in our new build has been completed. We are far from satisfied with the results. The tiler says everything is within tolerance, but we find that hard to believe. That’s why we wanted to get some independent opinions. What do you think? Were the work carried out according to recognized standards and technical rules or relevant DIN regulations?
We would appreciate any helpful responses.
Best regards, Gerrit

Regarding the staircase, there isn’t much that can be done now. The height of the last granite piece is fixed anyway; it was probably not cut on site. Since a whole tile was used after that, it can’t simply be replaced either. The entire hallway would need to be redone, which no one will accept.
It’s a different matter with the missing miter joint on a 90° corner. That is really unacceptable and can be relatively easily replaced. Otherwise, there are a few things that don’t look great but are still within acceptable tolerances. The tiles also have some manufacturing tolerances.
PS: If someone claims that anything goes according to the DIN standards, ask to see the actual DIN document. NO ONE actually has the real DIN, and they will then make corrections ^^ they are all bluffing, I don’t know anyone who really owns the DIN.

Sebastian7913 Jul 2016 16:20So my tile layers had the DIN standards on hand – the screed installer as well. Or what did you mean by that?
Excerpts are freely available, and the complete DIN standards can be purchased, but you don’t have to follow them if you don’t want to... the same applies to the miter joint... if it wasn’t agreed upon beforehand, then it is not required, and you can choose whether to do it or not...
