b&q polished porcelain

[stevee]

wasnt looking forward to my first time laying this,but it was a breeze

worked very clean,didnt seal before laying, but when they were down

applied LTP impregnator with a sponge mop effort, nice to work standing up, grouted ,washboy ,cleaned up real nice with J-cloths ,then sealed again and buffed

i think i read another post a few weeks back where someone had no bother with these too,steve

I used B&Q porcelain a few months ago and had no problems at all. All the tiles were even the same size. :lol:

I did 50 m2 last year of the 600x600, and 42 m2 just a few weeks ago. The beige ones tend to mark very easily, even with a pencil. I know someone who had to change a tile after dropping a tea-bag on a tile prior to sealing. The black ones look fine at a glance, but will never look 100% clean, and look cloudy. It's something I'd tell anyone thinking about fitting them.
A man I did a job for recently left one sitting on his bathroom floor for a week as a sample, and noticed the water marks didn't wipe off, so chose a different tile.

i seal them before fixing and before grouting.

What if there is no space to do so, and it's chucking it down outside, like it usually is when tiles need to be sealed?
