b and q cirque tiles

[marc948]

Just brought some cirque floor tiles /slate effect /colour grey black/300mm sq from b and q-they were cheap 6 pounds for 9 tiles and aparently were made in bulgaria. Has anyone on the forum had experience with using these tiles and will they last when laid-cheers marc

HI marc and welcome..

Some tiles have a better PEI rating than others and this will determine the suitability for certain installations.

 

[Andy Allen]

where in the house are you planning to use them?

 

[marc948]

in the kitchen

 

[Andy Allen]

then they need to be a grade 4 tile or above.

I've just laid these in my utility and downstairs loo. I didn't realise they were a certain grade, I just got romanced by the price

how do I found out what grade these tiles are then? will it say on the box?

 

[Andy Allen]

it might say on the box.... this is the advantage of going to a good tile shop , they grade all there tiles.

 

[marc948]

Yes-looked at the box myself and there is a bit of info on it saying grade c with other stuff- is this the class rating?-also jumped up and down vigourosley on one of the tiles 10 times and it seemed ok-ha!

 

[Deleted member 9966]

I have just checked the PEI gradings and they recommend Grade 3 or over for kitchens. still, doesn't help Marc and me to figure out whether these B&Q tiles are grade 3 or not :lol: I'll keep looking for info Marc and come back to you with anything I find.

Mine have been down in the utility and loo for a few weeks and have had no problems yet.

 

[marc948]

Cheers girl racer-thanks for your help-maybe grade c means grade 3 in bandq speak-ha!

I bought the cream cirque b and q tiles for my kitchen. I hope they are ok. I thought maybe an ash grey grout would look well. The price lures you into buying them....

 

[imclean]

They certainly look attractive. Can they be used as wall tiles as well as floor tiles?

 

[imclean]

Oh, I forgot to say. I intend using them in the bathroom.

 

[Brian the Tile]

i have them on my bathroom floor and they have been fine ,now been down a couple of years no problem,a lot of people will say they are rubbish because they are from there and sometimes i would agree about some of there tiles but theese are fine imo

[kilty55]

[susie73]

because B&Q only put some of their stock items on their website. it depends what offers they have on at the time. I bought a kitchen sink tap from them about 2 years ago, it was on special offer in store, but it quickly sold out and they never stocked it instore again. however I recently looked at their website and they're now selling the same kitchen tap as an online special offer only.

best ringing their customer services department and ask them.
