Haha it's the Calacatta marble, doesn't matter where the slab came from, it's called Calacatta for its own unique reasons, so it will ALL be similar.

Hi All - thanks for the advice and suggestions. I've only been tiling since late last year so XXL format tiles are a bit daunting.

It's cheap Chinese stuff compared to the way the earth makes it which is priceless pal.Exactly, only thing you were slightly off in was that the Chinese make the crap stuff. Haha
There's so much more to the way they trade than I ever realised.
It's like that Hampstead staircase, you can clearly see its cheap Chinese crap!
The Chinese are market leaders in a lot of the game. They're not the biggest economy for nothing. Well, child labour, but it keeps our iPhones cheap. Not wait, no it doesn't pmsl

I never said it was better than the real stuff did I!
I just said you'd be pushed to tell them apart.
But you can pay £700m2 and use far more of the earths resources, or you can pay £150m2 and be just a little bit greener. Haha

lol I never said you did say that
I'm not sure they're actually greener either lol Digging and chopping up compared to the burning of coal and oil making porcelain and firing them etc.
I wonder which is heavier per cubic tonne too. I bet if it's more dense it'll be porcelain. So all the freight costs too. lol

Just to be pedantic, a metric tonne is a metric tonne, a bit like Calacatta is Calacatta,
It's the cubic metre of space they require, depending on each materials density, that makes the difference.
It's all supposition anyway, cos I don't actually know, was just speculating haha
