annoying tiles to work with

[glasgow_tiler]

i was in a company called tilecraft last year just to get by for a few months and i got sent to new build houses kitchens and bathrooms wich was all fine and dandy, until i seen the tiles. they were the porcelanosa firenze negro the bubble tile. it was the first time i had actualy seen them. took me all day from the bk of 8 to half 4 to tile 9m, ended up doing 5 houses all with the same tile and asked to get moved job. tiling a 3m kitchen with a window and 10 sockets was a task, just wondering what other annoying tiles yous have come across. i done a wee search to see if there was any similar topics but didnt see any

I take it they all had to be wet cut?

no mate they cut fine with the grinder and sigma, had to cut all tiles at the sides for the trim to fit aswell was pretty time consuming

i found these a bit of a nightmare as well, had to be carefull on the setting out , and going round internal corners so the bubbles matched was chewy, i think they are a marmite tile,love or hate , not to my taste but look effective
