You wait till you get one who works to really fine tolerances, 100th of a mill maybe the tolerance to what a brain surgeon works to but that's just playing at it

I'm working with British Ceramic Tiles this week so I'm only working to the nearest 10mm ish The bloke is a retired architect so not quite as bad but, I did point out that his tiles were "not of the highest quality!"

Yeah utter garbage, it's not just the sizing differences, loads of them are out of square too (I'm sure you know that though!), always the HD printed ones. I've had uncalibrated slate that's been easier to fit!

Agreed , just done a huge wet room with them , including a flight of six steps . Main problem were the heat cracks appearing from nowhere when you grout the dammed things . still , at least they cut and drill easy.
Shocking quality , porcelain every time please

I had my one and only row with a client in 35yrs over those tiles, for that exact reason!
He paid in full on the spot tho! Haha
