[Middlesex Tiles]

Please check the tiles to ensure that there is no significant variation in size from tile to tile before you start. Please also check that the glaze is good and reaches each of the edges.

Are you sure that they are 315mm? They are supposed to be 331mm I think . . .

Will do. I take there are known quality issues with these tiles 😬? That pretty much sums up my year! Yes, these are 330 or thereabouts, my error.

Ummmm - how do I put this . . . Yes!

Search BCT on here and see for yourself. They went out of business earlier in the year. When did you buy the tiles? Make sure that you have plenty before you start. Lots of tile retailers bought their clearance stock - at very low prices. But there is obviously no new stock in distribution

Fml! I’ve had two packs open and nothing has sprung out, but I’ll be looking a bit further tonight before I start. All the same batch though, and if I remember correctly I bought area+11% and a spare pack (1m2) for good measure.(9m2 overall)

We searched for weeks before settling on these. If they are crap they ain’t getting laid, I’ve put too much into the subfloor, heating, prep for these to risk a bad job. Cost would be a pain, but not half as bad as deciding on new tiles with she who must be obeyed!

ive invested far too much time and money into my wetroom (and research) to finish it off with something I’m going to be using every day, and search around for cracks and defects every time I use it, to get any kind of enjoyment out of them.

It’s been weeks since I bought from Homebase, but going to make every effort to return them.

It seems you guys fit them for customers, so I guess it’s not all doom and gloom, but I can gaurentee you, I bet not one of you would knowingly buy these to fit to your own wet room, so really not much point in quizzing you fine fellows for any should I/shouldn’t I questions.

That’s the setting out question answered also 😂

I’ve found these Mr Jones Dove Grey 33cm x 33cm Porcelain Floor Tile - https://www.dantotsu.co.uk/floor-tiles-c27/laura-ashley-tiles-c1240/mr-jones-dove-grey-33cm-x-33cm-porcelain-floor-tile-p2151

Same pattern, but stated as pecelain, and a bit more expensive?!

Let’s just say that the good lady hasn’t taken the news too well !

I would say same tiles wrongly advertised as porcelain.
