    Default cappuchino marble

    On a job at the moment customer has bought cappuchino marble tiles from homebase,tiles are 30x30 or so they say and 10mm thick,has anyone used these before,what are they like to cut etc etc etc,and what trim did you use if any,the customer has seen most trims and doesn`t like or want them so has opted for L shaped one`s but i dont think these will look nice on the corner of the window reveal or on external corners not on these tiles anyway,any info would be great

    Update,was going to start putting tiles down today on floor opened two random boxes to find scratches all over tiles including machining/polishing process marks hairline cracks,showed customer the tiles and told them that i didn`t want to stick them down unless they really wanted them doing and they agreed and this isn`t the first time they`ve taken some back cos the first lot they got they went thro them and checked a few and they was bad so sent the lot back so looks like this lots going back too

    I fitted some trav from homebase recently, the quality of the tiles in the same boxes were all over the place even after a sort, in the end the customer bough extra boxes and i sorted through them and all the rubbish ones were put back in boxes together and returned as excess.
