Tile advice please

**1inchwarrior** · 14-04-2009

Hi, I'm new to the forum and was hoping that you could give me some advice.

I'm looking at tilling my kitchen floor with quartz tiles 600 x 600mm

I was looking at getting them from here ...
White Quartz Tiles

they seem to be very cheap in comparison to some other suppliers (£49 per m2) and I was wondering if anyone else has used these tiles / suppliers as I have read that there are some cheap chinese imitations that scratch easily being sold on the tinternet.

What do you think???...

Not used this make, if you are not sure do not use as cheap price is no subsitute for quality

Ask if you can see them in show room or omewhere.
They look nice but thats all you can say.
Ask where they were made too?
Search for reviews on intenet.
Good luck

Why not just phone the company and express your concerns? I'm sure they will be able to give you the reassurance required. If not, you've got your answer.

phone the company and see if you can buy a sample of the tile and ask where the tiles are made.

thanks guys, I have a sample already and it seems decent enough (but I know nothing about tiles....I thought the B & Q £9.99 per m2 were good until reading through some of the threads in this forum)

Do Quartz need sealing like porcelin tiles and do they need any speacial adhesive or grout??

Suprised that no one else has used these tiles yet though and so I am a bit wary about shelling out a small fortune (to me anyway) on them and the labour.
