Is shiny simon?
I had a phone call with a raimondi technician
and he says that the problems are only with the shiny ones.
Some brands use a lot of "frosting" to have the gloss.

We have been very fortunate to have people like @3_fall , @GaryTheTiler give us some of their secrets. So they stay secret as there not ours to share. One day maybe we will be able to help people once were good enough Started floor yesterday thinking this will be easy Different techniques in moving and laying nearly went home after having to lift a tile that I measured wrong

 

[Italy]

sorry simon, why did you make the walls first and the floor afterwards?
it's just a question, because I do the opposite

 

[Simon Dale]

Good question. We were asked to do walls first by client. He thought it would be easier to do the chain. We also had to wait for the 3.2 on the floor which didn't arrive until the 1st June. We double tanked the rooms with Isomat 2 part waterproofing and used their waterproof and anti fracture mat as well. I would have preferred floors fist but its water tight with 3mm gap for silicone
