    £200 m2 , some people have more money than sense, that has got to be the worst thing i've ever seen on a wall.
    I bet you were glad when you'd finished it, that must've taken ages and been very tedious

    I've used the rusty coloured ones of those that Porcelanosa do, Brick Nepal, a couple of times.
    First time was in my mother inlaw's house
    Second in a reception for a local company.
    If those are the ones for Porcelanosa, your architect is at the madam with the price.
    They are £115 inc VAT, retail, from Porcelanosa.
    Still expensive right enough.
    BTW, the slate that matches them is terrible for size, thickness and basic quality. Especially for the price.

    if this fella only paid 2 quid a meter for them, he would still have more money than sense. they are all cock-eyed, are they different thickneses? i think it looks pretty naff. i once turned down a job because it was gonna be very simelar to that!. with wee slate strips of all different lengths in a pre- prescribed unrepeating pattern. yuck

    The Brick Nepal, form Porcelanosa look fantastic when it's finished mate.
    Yes the are all different thicknesses, but that adds to the look when you put some nice lights on it.
    I suppose they are a bit Marmite though. You either love it or hate it

    yea you are right Drew its just personal taste, i finnished off a kitchen today and i hated the ugly colour sceme and the old fashioned tiles, but thats what the folk wanted and they were delighted when it was finnished.
    i didn't mean to slag off your work PJ, i just didn't like the look of the actual tiles. you did a good job there

    If they are the Porcelanosa ones, they come glued together in sets of about 3 lines high and 12inches long and are stepped as the lines go up to hide the joints.
    When the wall is done it is very hard to see the individual pieces.
