What’s your opinion on these tiles??

They're nice tiles to cut and install but my personal opinion is that there are only 2 or 3 tilers in Preston capable (and equipped) to install them.
I am one. The other 2 you would get hold of via Roccia!
I don't know of anyone ESP are using. I was recommeded to them by Grespania but we've both been too busy to meet so far.
Anyone else... Risky.

They shouldn't have been dropped on the uneven ground either.
Don't leave them like that for too long, as the pallet starts to sag, the tiles will stress.

That’s exactly what my local showroom said to me, they put some in their showroom but found no installer wanted to touch it. Those who did couldn’t install it properly.

It’s a separate trade to an extent. Very niche.

For me personally I haven’t and wouldn’t install anything near that size. Not equipped physically or have the talent to do it.

I’m wondering if we will see a frame made up of chinese suction cups, CLS and Gaffer tape.

......seriously though, I’d imagine the correct installation equipment is absolutely essential.

We were being quoted 8k plus for the job.

it will be available for purchase after I am done with it.

It is going to be an epic father and x2 sons project...

There will be an alcove in the shower area which we want to try to mitre, what resin would you guys recommend to fill the join, so that I can sand and polish the joint later?

Many thanks, Waluigi, my tiles which I will be mitring will be dark grey and bronze, would you know which colours from the polysoft corresponds to the colours I need?

thank you again. Does the mitred join need to be filled with resin, I will be using epoxy grout, can I not just used this to fill any gap? Then polish it?

I’m not entirely sure. I’d imagine that epoxy would be a whole world more complicated to work with but I might be wrong.

To an extent, polysoft is easy to work with, to shape, to cut, to sand, to polish and clean.

I don’t think epoxy would behave in the same way.
