1200x600 Ceramic???

[james hailwood]

hey been to a job measuring up and they have ordered some special ceramic tile from italy that are 1200x600mm, i know prices arent mentioned on here but wondering what to charge p/m2 for such a large ceramic tile. its 35m2 floor on surprisingly flat concrete. i have set prices for different tiles but this one spun me out a little so was looking for feedback, cheers in advance

I'm pretty sure they'll be porcelain, but could be wrong. Prep will be the thing you need to get bang on, so price well for that. Providing you have 1200 cutting tools and the area isn't tricky for cutting you should go about 25% heavier than pricing something half the size imo

20/25% +, but if square room, use the same time, of 600x600.

theres a small hallway 10m2 that is at 45 degrees to the kitchen/diner with fancy arcitraves.

The tile is described as 'Dry - Pressed Ceramic Tiles', the colour and size they have gone for is Sabbia (98KF3R) 60cm x 120cm (10mm thick) tiles shown laid on page 25, with the sizes on page 56 & technical features on page 62.

It is porcelain, hard enough. emilceramica group.
disassembles architraves, otherwise very difficult ..

Ceramic is often used as an umbrella term to cover all types of tile from ceramic clay, porcelain and quarry tile. So not necessarily the actual material.

As per BSEN14411, there are two main classes of tile. Class A is Extruded ceramics (wet clay moulded and cut to size and fired at just enough temperature to give it the required properties) and Class B is Dry Pressed ceramics (fine clay powder, compressed in a mould and fired at a higher temperature). These are then split down to further bands based on the water absorption rate.

If they are Dry pressed, the will be Class B, then either ia, ib, iia, iib and iiib with 1a being the most impervious (more than likely porcelain) and iiib being the most absorbent (less dense material).

Clear as mud I know, but may give you an idea

Wow. I know nothing. But do you know the atomic quotient of the tile categories Paul?
