Looking to identify and purchase some tiles
Hi,
(New to the forum).
I have my bathroom fitted with tiles purchased from wholesale domestic in Glasgow about 7 years ago. They no longer sell them and I need about 21 tiles to tile a wall where a showeIMAG0157.jpgr was. Tiles a re a dark grey with a kind of bubbling pattern on them. 60 x 30 cm.I have seen some with the same pattern but a much lighter shade.IMAG0158.jpg
If anyone knows such a tile I would be very grateful.
Regards,
Brian

Re: Looking to identify and purchase some tiles
Welcome along to the forum Brian. Do you know the manufacturer? and would I be right in saying that they are a polished porcelain tile?

Hi,
They are a polished tile, could be porcelain, Im not sure. I dont know the manufacturer, but the tile had an italian name when we purchased it from WD.

Re: Looking to identify and purchase some tiles
They look very similar to a tile called niro granite which were distributed by pilkingtons (now gone bust). I've just had a quick browse around to see if I can find any, I've got 20m2 at home that I got from Topps a few weeks ago as they seem to be selling alot of the old Pilkington stock cheap. I'll get one out and upload a photo to compare to yours.

They do look very similar and are 600 x 300 so even if you can't find the exact ones these might be a pretty good alternative.

Re: Looking to identify and purchase some tiles
Ok guys. Thanks for all your help so far.
I think I have found the tile :
Todanato Palazzo. PT006505 Santelmo Pulido 30 x 60.
It is shown 1/2 way down this web page.
Todagres Todanato, Porcelánico Técnico » Catalogue
So, any idea how I can find this in the UK ? I have seena few similar, but its difficult on the web pages to see if they are a direct match as they all rename them.
