Struggling To Find A Tile - Tile Advice

[macten]

Before I can tile my neighbours splashback I need to source a tile that I thought would be really easy to find.

I'm after:
Plain white gloss
Flat (not bevelled)
Rectangular - no bigger than 200x100 (preferably 150x75)
At least 8mm thick

If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!!

Thickness is the problem..... 6 or 7mm are pretty common. 8mm, I can only think of the Minton Hollins from Topps.

ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!! £114 m2????

Rethink needed

They're 7mm

Only £114 m2! That must be Topps trade lol

Used to be 8 when we did them..... that was a few years back now though. Stopped doing them when we we made aware they were gonna be exclusve to topps....

anyway, only other non bevelled I can find is Glass!

Just spoke to Johnsons Sales (they make the Mintons for Topps). She confirmed the MH are definately 8mm.

but unfortunately can't find anything cheaper sorry.

Can I ask why it needs to be that thick?

It's going to be in combination with some thick glass mosaics so really just want to avoid bedding out all the field tiles to get flush with the mosaics and trim.
Didn't think it would be like looking for hen's teeth
Wonder what kind of discount I could get on them?

How many m2 are you talking about....

Have a look at these Nick @macten from my supplier, would be worth a call to Emma re thicknesses, very knowledgeable, and she may have some others not on website

Okay - measured up this morning and ordered them today. Should be in Thursday.
Just went for bog standard 200x100 white gloss from TG. Checked the ones at CTD but they were ever so slightly thinner.
Still means bedding out a bit to come flush with mosaics and trim but it's only 1.5m2 of field tiles - sure I'll cope!
