B&Q Fiji and Ardos Woven tiles? anyone had experience of poor quality sizing etc? - TilersForums.com

I have a serious issue with B&Q Fiji and Ardos Woven tiles in white and also grey. The tiles are of 'irregular' sizes etc and this has caused huge problems with the tiler. Has this happened to anyone else, any info or advice is really appreciated. B&Q not interested lol!!

If there are any irregularities in the size of tiles it is usually minimal tell your tiler to start with 3mm spacers pegs and to split the difference with a 2mm peg as and when required, keep tiles level and plumb and once grouted should look the bizz!

Imo any tiler worth his salt should be able to overcome these issues.....
Unless were talking about vast amount of difference..

Definitely very common with b&q tiles, be carful with batch numbers as well, I've been to a few jobs with b&q and they had given her completely different batches so tiles was slightly different colours.
