MARKS
& SPENCER, Bluewater Park
|
 |
CONTRACTOR:
Bovis
SUBCONTRACTOR: Birmingham Tile
Large
areas of sweeping tiles are becoming a common feature in modern
stores and shopping malls. Marks & Spencer, in the Bluewater development,
is an ideal example of how easily this can be achieved.

These
photos give a good example of the intricate shapes and fine
tapers that can be waterjet cut. This allows tiles to be
easily and accurately laid on site, saving not only time
but also more importantly reducing on site costs.
There are more points to consider about this project, which
at first do not seem apparent. There were areas where the
direction of the tiles altered. Also all the tiles making
up the border, were cut on all four sides. Finally there
were many different sized supporting columns, situated in
or fringing the edges of the tiled areas.
