Buying tiles online

[it-monkey]

Hi, just about to start ripping out our bathroom and we have decided to go for a Q-Rock Black tile on walls and floor.
We've had a couple of sample tiles from the local Topps Tiles and they are currently priced up at £32.94 m2 - info here
After a quick Google I found a place called Tiles Direct who appear to have the same tile at £16.50 m2 - info here
We need 26 m2 at Topps that would cost £856.44 and from Tiles Direct they would cost £429.00 - that's almost half the price.
Are they the same tiles and has anyone had any experience using Tiles Direct?

Thanks for your help!

They look the same to me. And they do say half price on tiles-direct.com so that'd make sense.

Order a sample though perhaps that's the only way you'd know I guess.

Tiles-direct.com is a new one on me but there are hundreds of online tile stores these days so we don't hear of them all.
