Hi, is it porcelain tiles? i did porcelain tiles that look like wood (1200x150x10)

Porcelanosa do a 1200x196x10mm one! nice to fit, you will need a rubi tx1200 to cut them down the length, I don't know of any other cutters that are up to the job :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Perry]

No but have laid some old ones :hurray:

 

[Tony73]

and they not flat( they like banana), but flexible enough to make them flat, as you lay

I ve done them a few times from Porcelanosa and found them to be top quality..........

Bri... I know of a cutter that is very good at cutting them down the middle......(;0)

I've laid 60x100 woodgrain effect porcelain, but not the the larger format. Went down nicely with a random joint.

Doug Boardley has laid some like these before but a smaller size I seem to recall. worth asking him.

I'v done a few myself, even herringboned a couple with superb results.
Most of mine were 800x125 etc.
I have a big job coming in a couple of weeks and easily 150m2 of these timber effect to lay throughout bedrooms and a beautiful sunroom.
I love working with them.

Yes, I've done a few,
Quality varies, some are quite bowed, dont overlap these too much :smilewinkgrin:

 

[hillhead]

Not much waste either when laying in random tight joints because of the bends.

Be carefull when grouting can stain in the grain marks and you can't see when it's wet

I did a Burgerking in these last week 600x150. We had to lay them brick bond but IMO would have looked better random
