    Default winto tiles

    i've heard some of you guys 'n' gals talking about chinese import tiles on here but i've never seen any till yesterday on a new bathroom i've started. they're winto ceramics, don't say anything else on the box just chinese writing (it may be japanese). these are 600 by 330 rectified ceramics but are real quality and nice to fit. anyone else fitted these?

    Laid some that just had "Made in China" and they were tough as old boots to cut.

    Hi
    I am using Winto ceramic tiles and can't fault them, they all conform in size and quality, cut easily and packaged well.

    in china they make tiles in five grades one to five one being the best as good as any in the world i have been fixing and selling these for over nine years you have probably been fixing these for years a lot of shops just dont tell you they are chinese best way to tell is look at back of tile if it says italia design spanish design its probaly made in china most of the big names in tilling have factory tie ups in china. china is the biggest tile supply in the world sulplying 58% of tiles if you have had to remove wax off the surface of tiles these would have been chinese
