I have had issues with L A tiles too, bad sizes and patterns that dont meet up.

Interesting, I've recently been to price a 30m2 bathroom to be done with these! The tiles were there and I had a look at them, but I suppose problems would only be seen when fitting started. I hope they don't accept my quote now!

Every time I tile with Homebase tiles I face the differing size issue. Some are so out it's a joke.

I have always found homebase tiles the worst of of all the Sheds !

BCT are cheap for a reason

And yet I'm finishing a job tomorrow where I have fixed about 80m2 of a 600x300 slate effect porcelain from Homebase and it has been absolutely spot on for both calibration and shade

And I was surprised by that myself

have used them twice, first time no issues, the second time upto 2mm difference from the same boxes...

Laura Ashley is quite a high end retailer, so why would they risk ruining their reputation by being associated with cheap, poor quality products?

I did a bathroom with Laura Ashley tiles the other week. Like Brian said being Laura Ashley I expected them to be high quality. Nice tiles but also had an issue with slight variations in size.

I've done a couple of bathrooms with them. Not only do the size and patterns vary in a box but I found quite a few that weren't even rectangular, some were almost rhomboid.

BCT tiles are some of the worst you will come across IMO.

Whats that mean.??

a parallelogram with adjacent sides of unequal lengths; an oblique-angled parallelogram with only the opposite sides equal.
