They seem to have good reviews. And are a member of The Tile Association so perhaps grab some samples, get their size tolerances, ask about grades etc

Just to add , quartz galaxy has a silver mirror fleck and the granite version only comes with a bronze fleck..

thanks I went for the stardust tile in the end , its a bit more expensive but luckily topps are having a autumn sale on it as well if anyone else is interested.

My tilers has suggested the following
Plywood
Bal Adhesive 20Kg
Bal Grout 2.5 kg
Tile spacer of 4mm

Can anyone confirm if this is standard for stardust tiles?

Thanks again,

 

[Dave]

Which Bal adhesive ?

 

[berilac]

rapid flex or max flex I think

Plywood.....really?

 

[Dave]

rapid flex or max flex I think

You better get him to check suitability for resin quartz tiles... And as above , as a personal preference , i'd not use ply .

 

[berilac]

you mean which adhesive is suitable?

Also if not ply what would you recommend?

 

[J Sid]

What is the substrate your tile wants to fix the ply to?

 

[berilac]

It's an Edwardian house , bathroom is on the first floor , no idea what substrate but unlikely that it's been changed

 

[J Sid]

Hardie board / no more ply, glued and screwed. But not ply

 

[berilac]

Ok thanks will work with that , are the remaining items pretty much standard

 

[J Sid]

Spacers bigger the I would use, but that's your choice.
And as @Dave say's, check the adhesive

I thought 4mm was a bit big also, ply maybe if he is getting rid of the floorboards to give a better substrate but i would then over board the ply with hardie or similar.
