ATS.....They are expensive.......very expensive!!!!!......

CR...they are made by hand in Morocco.......but even the morrocans have moved on since the "hand Trown" manafacturing of tiles!.........

Dave......you are absolutly right.....they are supplied in 64 tile packs.....4 tiles of each design.......but are intended to be laid in no perticular fashion.......

thats what i did lee soaked them overnight before fixing them just take out what you need out of the watter butt and allow them to drain for 20 minutes before fixing them ,leave them a week be fore sealing them and you could also go with a water based sealer ,you will get efflouressence on them theses tiles are prone to it

There does seem to be a lot of these types of tile coming out now, even Topps do a 'Moroccan' range but they're made by an interior design type over here.
I imagine that in the countries where they are traditionally produced they're being told to conform to Western tastes, i.e. everything must be perfectly made with edges that look like they've been cut with a laser!

Good luck with it, hope you get the job :smilewinkgrin:

I am going to install them first Gary.....working really clean............then seal a few times......then grout.......this guys house is spotless......so we cant do a whirling dervish in there!!!!!!.........
