not sure yet mate going to measure up tomorrow the customer has a couple of samples just said they are brick slips told her i have not fitted them before but would do some research before i attempt ,just didn't want to go round there completely blind

 

[Perry]

just like a terracotta so would seal them in the kitchen if they are a splash back would depend on what type they are if they are a man made slip or real bricks or reclaims can be soft clay to like a quarry tile

 

[prceramics]

she is still trying to source some can you point me in the right direction i will find out where she got the samples from tomorrow

 

[prceramics]

should i price the same as for trav with the sealing before grouting and after and would this sealer be ok Seal Guard Porcelain & Stone Impregnating Sealer (Tilers Choice) 1lt - £29.99 - www.*******************

this is where the samples are from Slimbrick - Real Brick Tiles

 

[Perry]

no idea what that sealer is like but the slips can be from soft clay to almost vitrified so the sealers can be from one end of the spectrum to the other some tiles you can grout but some you have to point

 

[prceramics]

ok mate so i wont price until she has chose the tiles thanks

 

[Perry]

how many is she after if its not many choose a brick and you can cut them easy on a dewalt

 

[prceramics]

about 5m2

 

[prceramics]

these are the ones she has chosen

 

[Perry]

that looks like a cut off a brick like these but a lot softer as not the face but the inside of the brick
