Very high quality too. Of all the thin porcelain I've worked with, Porcel-thin and Grespania's Laminam are the best in my experience.

I thought coverlam was grespania and I found them to be terrible

The coverlam I've used has been great. Cuts well, edges well and whilst I don't think the designs are as good as others, quality has been good for working with.
What issues have you had?

Only used the 5.5mm stuff and it was bowed and tensioned. I had a nightmare with it. L cuts had to be drilled with a 25mm bit as anything smaller they'd just go on first pass with the grinder. It was not much fun at all

Hopefully this flat and Plumb enough for the porcel-thin.
The only deviation is the inaccuracies of a spirit level.
I really took my time doing three walls.

This is the 3.2 x 1.6 x 6mm Florim Simon was talking about.
Its actually a really nice piece.
Matt on floor, polished on the walls. (Eventually

)

This was satisfying, 3.2m long, 25mm wide, scribed and snapped in one piece.

Bad setting out if you need a cut that size

If I did needed it Albert, it’d of stuck it down immediately.
Wouldn’t have been throwing it around the floor.

It was the offcut from the shower floor.
And the other 395mm is the cut between the full tile and the wall with the pipe work.
Gotta make the most of every little piece, no spare material.
The way the ensuite was measured was to put a tape on the inside of the architrave and then measure the circumference from there and divide by 1.6m!!!! That's how the quants were worked out. Exact number bought.

Just read that Porcel-thin recommend an S1 adhesive for their tiles. I was going to use my standard adhesive- Biogel No Limits.

What do people use?
