Buy Mapei!
Buy their addy too if that's the same sort of deal I have with tile shops. But use Mapei if that's what they state. That's exactly what Phill stated to me. Thing is, if they have a failure, and u've followed their spec, I know for sure Fired Earth put EVERYTHING right. Including your re fixing price! As long as it's not your mistake of course! 😀
Thing with this job is the tile shop that passed the job onto me only stocks Webber which they have already sold to the customer with the tiles, I am on a fixing price only and I get a lot of work from this particular tile shop so don't want to pi## them off by telling the customer they've been given bad advice. Sticky wicket indeed!!!

ok Andy this is where I eat my largest slice of humble pie!!!!! 😕
U mentioned plastic backing and my thumbs took over before my brain engaged......errrrrm.... mine were Original Style! Ouch!
Sorry I've seem to have my fist planted firmly in my mouth right now!
Haha well who knows Webber may be ok but I'd still be calling Fired Earth at the very least. Then I've never had a great deal of success with them. I've done better sourcing the actual tile manufacturer and contacting them.
So sorry Andy if I've mislead you, which I have of course, but it was done with the best of intention 😀

Hahaha you're a gent! *tips hat!*
Haha...well my misses don't think so 😉
Mark no need for humble pie mate, a plastic backed tile is the same whichever names on the box. On fixing price only I can really only use materials supplied, I have mentioned the mapie but tile shop insists I'm ok with the webber set plus + AD250 and Webber have also agreed on this, maybe it is worth a call to the manufacturer to settle any disputes
 
Totally with u there Andy!
Plastic/vinyl backed all the same!
This feature wall, is it a whole wall or just an integrated design within it?
 
Its going behind a free standing imitation log burner stove type thing.. Tiles 600x300, portrate, 3 wide, 4 high, good quality new build house, skimmed plasterboard...now tell me the weight issues 🙂

Haha I don't need to say anything mate, you're not daft, u know what you're doing.
Think I've said enough in this thread don't u! haha well sounds straight forward enough, least u don't have to do a window wall with mitres! Haha bloody thing still gives me nightmares 😀
Sounds like they've spent more on the tiles than the woodburner haha
Hope it goes well for you, and of course we'll be hanging on the arrival of some pics!
I'm not gonna wish u luck, it's 12 tiles for god sake! haha
