New member needs help with Porcelanosa

[P993]

Think some are up to 2mm out but I need to check properly. These were meant to be rectified. (that’s what we were told anyway!).

Just seems odd that the bevel is not consistent?

Good to know re Porcelanosa. Lesson learned.

Which supplier(s) would you recommend ? Am searching on the forum about the TPT/Porcel-Thin also.

Does it say rectified on the box ?
Do you have evidence that they were sold as rectified?
Rectified are, by definition , all the same.

Surely Porcelanosa must have a returns policy? Although they are obviously not great (especially for the price you probably paid) they will almost definitely fall within the (generous) tolerances allowed.

I had a customer who paid in excess of £80/m for Porcelanosa tiles and they were almost as sizey as BCT ones. With excellent care and skill from his tiler (and a slightly larger grout joint than originally planned) they came up a treat. He did feel he hadn't received any value for money and maybe should've bought rectified tiles from a local independent for half the price . . . .

Uncle Ray Porcel-Thin is a good option. 1200x600 affordable spot on size wise. If you say I sent you he will charge you more Lol

Yes they are rectified.

This is a link to the exact tile: TOWN WHITE LAPPATO 59,6X59,6 - http://porcelanosa.projects.solutions/en/town-white-lappato-596x596

I suppose technically they are. I think they do that to stop chipping ? You can go into any tile shop and see a rectified tile it don't look like that !! A 60x60 usually ends up bing 598x598 or smaller. You could ask @Lee@TileTown

At that price I would expect rectified tiles to be exactly that and I wouldn't accept that quality. You may need to speak to someone further up the food chain.

Can you post up pics of the back side of 2 or 4 tiles please. This is the usual tell tale sign of ripping down large tiles

We would say that is arrised not rectified
