British ceramic tiles strike again

[thompsonbrown]

After my previous post about BCT crazing. I said I would never use them again, but just completed a job I was unaware of manufacturer until I noticed that a lot of the tiles were bowed. Seriously, I mean I will post some pics later this week just to show you how bad. I'm all for british engineering apart from tiles.

British ceramics are the worst tiles out, you never get a good batch.

Just fixed some gloss white 600x300 bct tiles. Right laugh trying to make it look good when tiles are up to 3mm different in size. Luckily client wanted them landscape instead of brickbond cause that would have been fun. I used some of the hd printed ones the other week and they are awful for size and bowing

The hd printed are one of the most popular tiles around this area, and are awful to fix.

Just completed a 16m bathroom 600x300 bct tiles and fair play they were bang on. Customer wanted brickbond so was worried about the quality but these were fine. All the same size and not even bowed.
