Difference between "Winckelmans" or "Original Style" tiles

[bundy]

Hi All,

Another post from the other side of the World in Australia.

I am looking to buy floor tiles in the UK and bring them over to Oz. I have priced up Winckelmans which seem more expensive in the UK than I can get them here, so not much joy there and certianly not worth the shipping expense

I have however been in touch with the guys from Originalstyle.com who seem quite well priced

I was wondering how these tiles compare to Winckelmans? They seem fairly priced but I am concerend with quality as its a long way (and a lot of money) to send these things half way around the world only to find they are not up to scratch when they arrrive.

I have seen and used Winckelmans products beofre but have no experience at all with what Orginal Style offer. The only thing I have found out is it seems O/Style do not have as wide a colour range as Winckelmans as the design we wanted (Hallington) was offered with alternate colours than what is in the Winckelamns range

Appreciate greatly if anyone here can shed some light on the pro's and cons of either range

Cheers....Rob

i've used original style a couple of times and have seen no problems with them but i've never heard of winklemans. i think timeless john may know better as this is his specialist field

Winklemans have been about for years...i remember my old boss ( RIP) telling me that we would be using Winklemans and that I needed to be 100%.

Thanks Guys

If you had one of these tiles side by side (From different manufacturers) would you notice any difference?

Sir Ramic - These look good. Do you know of any resellers worth talking to that deal with these tiles? I see on the Oldeenglish website that they do not sell direct.

Thanks
