Nice m8. Layed them just after x-mas on a kitchen floor,had no probs aswell. Doing their splash back now with b&q 10x20 white and black and their a nightmare. Sizes all over the place.

Last question honestly, Who supplied the sealer as in who did you buy from

PjTiler, how much are these tiles cost from B&Q matey as I am close to buying some in white from Almurad in bradford which have a 1/4 meter squared coverage per tile. Does B&Q have a white version of these also?

I am not a professional tiler just a DIYer and was wondering which spacers to get for such large tiles. I like the idea of keeping the gaps short like you have done but then wondering how to grout the buggers without marring the glazed finish

cheers

Looks a great job.............. and I'm somewhat relieved as I have 27 m being delivered next Saturday.
Mine are the 400's in black also white..........

im a DIY er so could I ask what size spacer you used here please as i really like the look but would that gap be too big in 400 size?

Also you say you sealed them i have got some Lithofin impregnator as thats what i was told to use could any give me some guidence on that issue please


I will over the moon if the job looks like yours brilliant


TT
