As a manufacturer/supplier, Sealux would be interested to hear views on: What should differentiate a tile retailer from a DIY shed selling tiles/accessories? Ger | ||||||||||

Product knowledge and a good variation in available materials for me. DIY sheds tend to have people pushing tiling stuff ( and everything else) without any real training. Also, in general they don't sell "professional quality" materials. | ||

 with grumpy and fekin and the others.And what is more a tile retailer should make it possible that, whenever problems occur, either they come to site or a company/manufacturer representative (tiles, trims, boards, adhesive or else) comes to site when claims or problems come up. This is something that DIY-stores seldom can offer. Martin | |||||||||||
