Default gulf stone the tiles with the bling

Used the gulf stone last week. Got my self all set up for a hard days graft cutting, as they were 600 by 600 on the 45. I assumed they would cut like granite but they cut like butter oh what a joy. Anybody used them?

laid 3 sqm in bathroom at the start of the week £10 for a 300 x 300 tile look good down, they are very easy to cut as they are a composite material, must be made with similar resins to baths as the smell is the same when cutting whole in bath for taps as cutting tiles

Smell like glass fibre when you cut them.

Done the black with silver flecks in. Wonder wot they would look like with the new Mapei glitter stuff in the grout.

Just need a 1970's disco ball on the ceiling...........and the Bee Gees in the back ground
