Noticed this today on a box of tiles i was using to tile a kitchen floor , it was a half bond floor
Anyone seen this on a box before , its a 1st for me

Yeah it's becoming quite standard on porc plank tiles cos of the bowing!

Yes, I've seen it before. If a customer wants brickbond I just show them the box and they change their minds.

Another one is 3mm spacers to be used written on the box.

I find most bowed anyway...

Funny you should point that out today, I swear I read somewhere yesterday that somebody (Doug was it?) said they only lay 1/4 bond due to bowing.

 

[White Room]

That was me Dan....

Spanish tiles I assume, the DIY sheds over here put a label on the display with all that information on as well.
