:yikes::yikes: I hate british tiles, far too much size variation. I think it's time British Standards adjusted permissable tolerance values:ban:

ive always found the calibration poor on british made tiles

 

[nybor62]

surly we can make tiles better than this,

Agreed...once apon a time 'British made' meant quality. If we can't compete on price wouldn't it be good to be able to compete on something?

Using British Ceramic Tiles yesterday, size differences and shading ( Grey fleck ) . Walls not too bad but still a mare to make look good.
Used some last year from same company but different tile, the shading was like night and day when grouted, You couldnt tell while fixing though.

That's why UK tilers are the best in the World! All other tilers don't have to work with the **** that we have to .
