Tile Shading issue advise

Tilers Forums Official Sponsors

See what i mean..... always the suppliers fault. Again, if you want the supplier to do all the checking fot you, you're telling me you'd take delivery of a pallet of loose tiles?

Shading is inherent in ceramic and porcelain manufacture. You know this but what? Its not your problem???

Yeah, never the tilers fault is it. His job is to put them down and blame someone else when it goes wrong because he couldn't be arsed to do what it says on the box, what it says in british standards, what it says in the suppliers t&c's, whats common knowledge to most tilers. What makes you so special these rules don't apply to you?

Why would the supplier know any different if the batch numbers match? If you wanna fix 'em without checking, fine. But don't always expect a supplier to bail you out if you haven't followed tiling 101.

Ask us to help you out, before it becomes a problem, not after you realise you've been a special kind of dumbass!

Does no-one loose lay tiles anymore?

Rant over.
This is fine but I will bet my bottom dollar that when you supply tiles you don't explain to the customer that they should expect to pay an excess of £150-£250 for the installer to remove all tiles from boxes, lay out and check shading do you?
 
you read the rules written by paul?
if you think what you do is right. then continues
if I notice a shade variation at any stage i'd stop and explain to the customer and see what they want to do no question. But my point is if you do this, who pays for your lose of time? supplier, customer or manufacturer?

are the risks of the job.
pose for that type of tile, the price per square meter is very high.
a key reason in my opinion is the most waste of time to set. then, if the product actually has problems, the supplier in accordance with the manufacturer, will indemnify the lost time.
that's all
 
there are also catalogs on the Internet, explain very well the product that you install and the shading relationship that can have the tile you need to install.
it is never time lost, the morning after the tiler, he already knows what to say to the customer.
unfortunately this is the future of our work, it is more time to explain and understand, that the time to do the job.
