Recommendation: Do you like these tiles?

[RichTile]

Hi all,

What do you think of larger square cream colour tiles I ask as I have been searching for a tile to cover 32m2 kitchen/entrance area. It is a porcelain type tile with a smooth finish that is apparently easy to clean. It is around 9mm and around £13 per m2.

I really like colour and texture of tile but I am worried it will not be a good enough tile for a 'high traffic area'? It is from B&Q.

I have removed the pics as they are linked to an ebay site..

If you need to show a pic then link direct to B&Q and not ebay..

If its a high traffic area I would stick with a solid porcelain tile.

As for colours yes anything natural is going to be fine.

as mentioned above a high traffic area needs a good quality tile imo

Sorry Dave but the pictures were the ones I took myself and I hosted them on my own paid-for hosting site. Can I put them back please?

I think we get the gist without the pictures. Generally you want a good quality tile from an actual tile outlet rather than a DIY shed, really. Though any full bodied porcelain tile will be the best for high traffic areas. Though I'd have a said if it's a domestic kitchen/entrance, it isn't *that* high traffic. A shopping centre would be really high traffic. A domestic kitchen I don't think I'd class as high at all personally but perhaps you have a football team for your family who come stay weekly or something?!

Many thanks for reply,

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for. A high-quality tile and not the standard 'DIY-Store' tile.
I've been doing some reading up on it and I think for me porcelain is definitely the way to go, I have some samples of a tile coming this week that I think will do the job - 10mm porcelain. Also works out cheaper then a smaller ceramic tile I was originally looking at - 8mm.

tile giant mate, the tile is called kimberly and sounds exactly the same and is a really good quality porcelain tile i have used several times
