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...

...it's an old Victorian house, we're decorating the walls black, and the mrs wants a feature floor, the only ones I seem to find are British ceramic tile which I won't use, or there is a lot of these fake faded paterns which I'm not into. Anyone got any suggestion? We want Strong colour like...

Yep, I have just told the same few days ago in other thread. Rubbish.

The problem with tiles made of wall standard clay being called wall and floor tiles is now a if problem in our industry. I wish manufactures would by now have realised that they are not suitable for wooden floors or ufh. It is up to Tilers to refuse to fix them . Problem is clients usually have...

British Ceramic Tile (BCT) ceramic tiles with a thick biscuit and thin glaze are cracking on wooden floors. Fixed correctly. Using a tile backer board with correct screws and tape. The tiles don't appear fit for floors. Some tilers we know have said they refuse to fit them on floors. Here is...

A few weeks ago I posted a thread on the main forum about British ceramic tiles cracking on all Hardiebacker joins. As it stands this hasn't been sorted yet as the rep was hard to get hold of and eventually said i need to go back to supplier. I know they are going to say its my fault and I...

I know those tiles, fitted twice. Since then whenever customers want to buy that tiles I speak out of it. On the box says crack resistant, however only during the fitting 6 of them were cracked. Poor quality, sometimes there is up to 2mm difference in tile sizes. Dont buy ever

Agreed, worst i've used this year are British Ceramic

Hey! Don't class all Chinese tiles as cheap and nasty either. The worst tiles I've fixed in the past few years have all been 'British' ceramics. Some of the very best have been Chinese. (and the Turkish aren't all bad either)

Where would we be without your unique look on life John? ;) Cheers mate appreciate it! :)

Well I thought it was boring, big sheets of thin porcelain being cut down into little pieces to match up treads and risers - what's all that about? I blame these ceramic engineers, bring back round edge quarries, that's real British workmanship. ;) Lovely job!

...best. Or to rip everything out and start again with different tiles. Its about 4 msq but it won't be an easy job. I need to ring British ceramic and ask them why they are selling such soft floor tiles which I expect are only suitable for concrete/screed floors mainly but how was I to know...

It's the tiles! 30x30 British ceramic that state they are suitable for no shoe floors!! They are a soft glaze/wall tile biscuit that IMHO should not be used on floors. Even if there is no movement in the floor ( and in this case there must be a small amount) they will crack on these seams. I'd...

...Hardiebacker joins. I've never had any cracks through tiles since 6 years ago when i used to tile on 12mm ply. The tiles are 300mm British ceramic. House was built 1984, standard 18mm floorboards which I securely screwed down, deflection free. Hardiebacker was laid onto rapidset flexible...

Tile Mart in Preston and Bolton are stocking some rectified ceramics from India and at £15/sqm are superb. They put British made to shame.

British made?! Rubbish. Ultra poor quality raw ceramics imported incredibly cheaply and then printed and glazed in the UK on automated lines (few people employed so again - dirt cheap) and they can legally be labelled "made in UK". (that's my guess by the way)

These tiles have always been of pretty poor quality but, the ones I've been fitting this week have been a sizing nightmare! I don't understand how there can be such a size variation from one tile to the next. It's kind of ironic that the HD range are supposed to be at the forefront of tile...

I had my one and only row with a client in 35yrs over those tiles, for that exact reason! He paid in full on the spot tho! Haha
