GREAT WORK!!!! I envey your talent.
Onur,
Are most of the tile projects you showed, done using the special LaserTiles (product from 3 Score, Inc.)? Or were they just regular (uncoated) tiles? I've looked at the 3 Score tiles but were a tad pricey, especially if doing a large wall tile mural.
Regardless, I think you did a great job!
Thanks,
Mike DeRegnaucourt

Onur,
it is VERY VERY NICE work!
I have one question to you because it is very big problem for me. Marble is very heavy material.
How do you attach your works from marble on a wall? Do you use cement, glue and etc?
If you looking for new ideas for your projects please look here.

Hi Andrey,
Thank you
Well i use Bison montage kit for installing heavy natural stones. I think its a great product because it's "first strength" is so powerfull and quick.
here is an example of the product;

ps:i use it in bigger tube format
I loved your works !!!!! how did you managed to color the wall panel ? !!!
please send me pricing info for coloring a panel like that. Russia is not far away to Turkey
Hi Mike,
Thank you, yes all the tiles (with pic. on) are from 3Score Inc.
I think its not so pricey even i paid a fortune for shipping&taxes to Turkey. I sold the DaVinci panel for 1.200$ (only 24 tiles used and took 8 working hours to finish)
But i have this advantage : no one ever seen this kinda products in Turkey
Onur, it is not my work.
Ok, I am russian man, but now I am living in Egypt. More close to Turkey than Russia.
I think the price for that works very hight because this is moscow company.
Moscow is not a cheap city.
Thank you for advice. I'll try to use Bison montage kit.
Good luck!

Onur, your work is spectacular! I am sure you will receive a lot of business from your trade fair. I can't wait to see more of you work as you create it! Good Luck and may the winds of fortune blow your way.
Great work there Onur Cakir. If I may ask? What is the process of securing and piecing the tiles together? What did you attach the tiles to, cement backer board, plywood...etc. Did you grout between tiles and if so what colors and how did you come to choosing those colors?

Hi Anthony, thank you.
I used "MDF panel"
building material that is made out of wood fibres that have been compressed together and bonded with synthetic resin adhesive
I didnt used grout because i used "BISON Montage Kit" for installing tiles on MDF. But if i had to use i would use absolute white color.
By the way a friend of mine told me that any tile expands with humidity. So thats why grout is mainly used for, leaving spaces between tiles to expand. But images looks better without grout....so what you think about that ? Do you all think grout is a must for installing tiles ?
I use a sander with course grit to sand the tabs on the tile down.
Not all the way so there is still a little room to expand but enough so the images look better.
I use no grout. Instead I just use a adhesive like liquid nails to attach the tiles to a backing board.
Yes I do believe the grout lines would take away from the "art" of it. And sanding the tabs down would be no problem at all.... for me.
But putting together a display is one thing. I don't plan on installing these as there are plenty of folks out there that do that. But, how should I tell an installer how these should be applied to a wall that is surrounded by non-lasered tiles and keep the art as it is intended to be. As into a tiled back splash, shower, etc...
