Desperately seeking answers! Ceramic versus Porcelain for Bathroom?

[JaneyB]

Hi, I am wondering if someone could please give me some advice. I am about to tile my bathroom and a tiler has advised me that if i were to choose a tile size 600 x 600 it will never dry and that i should restrict it to 300 x 300 and go for ceramic only.

Could anyone please advise if this is correct?

Many thanks.

Hey Doug, Thank's a million for your message - you are so right and it has made me decide that if i want bigger tiles then if they are proffessional - they can just get on with it. I am gobsmacked at being told by a tradesman that i can't have a certain tile just because it is a bit more work for him! I am sure i will find a decent tiler to do this. cheers.

View attachment 35240 I'm sure you will find something like this in the UK. Some of the guys might know of a similar product. This product and similar is starting to become quite popular over here as it does away with any weight issues and the sizes are really big so very little joints if you want to go that way.
Just another choice to consider.
