Porcelain floor tile Questions

[slikt]

There are loads of really nice 60 x60 polished porcelain tiles in the market. They are normally consistent in size (unless you purchase them from B&Q where you get what you pay for)

lol. . I have to say i did look at those, but thought better of it at £15sqm. . Yeah I know what your saying with the white, just a pain it costs more than the grey.

What would you rather? Shadows in your tiles or a few less beers this month?

Sod the beers, with what this kitchen has cost me, a few more pounds wont hurt, dont wanna ruin the tiles, especially as the tiles are white/ivory.

Nice one Daz and the floor looks spot on, ivory grout and what sealer do you use?

Thanks,

It was Ardex FS classic vanilla grout and I sealed with LTP MPG impregnating sealer.

Did you do the whole floor area with the sealer after it was laid and grouted?

That job was the utility room and downstairs loo so I stuck and grouted the floors then sealed and polished a couple of days later. There was no transit wax on the tiles so I did not have the cleaning process in between .

It's easy to deal with. Just remember to remove the transit coating prior to grouting & sealing :lol:.
