B & Q rant!!

[Martino]

Did a job today where the customer supplied the tiles from B n Q!.......

Kai Porcellanato 330 x 330 black and white floor tiles......They wanted the floor laying as there previous floor was the same apart from the tiles where different sizes...

I origionaly quoted to sup and fit....then in the end they bought the tiles and adh and just wanted labour...

Low and behold.......slightly different sizes yet again!........about 2mm out white tiles bigger than black!...

In the end they decided they just want all black!.....what a faffing about lol!..............B n Q!!!...Tiles! GRRRRRR

Rant over

It's not just B&Q on chequerboard tiles where this can happen. They are obviously made as individual colours and it's the style/design that causes the problem.

I've had the same from Topps but in the thickness. Polished black marble, mostly 10mm thick but some boxes are 8mm thick. I now have a mosaic panel (thankfully only 300mm x 300mm) where the black tesserae are all 2mm lower than the rest and it's been sitting on the bench until I can get around to grinding it all down!
