Nice one @GaryTheTiler.

My supplier has these in their showroom, and if I was going to do my bathroom again I'd be very tempted to go down this route

@Chalker think they are about £120m

That's smart John, I do like the way they've wrapped it from wall to floor!

Thats actually a photo on the board as a sample of the installation.

These are the actual tiles

 

[Chalker]

How big are they?
Could you let me know where you are getying them from?

 

[Old Mod]

Yeah smart John, still bit mind bending tho! Haha

 

[John Benton]

I would guess that they are about 200mm at wide point, I was only talking to supplier about them a few weeks ago and I'm sure they said they were about £120m but you would need to check with them. I think they are on the Verona stand.

It really didnt take that long the squares were 150x150 other bits were 50mm strips which were cut at 250, long they are handed so to speak, I cocked up a few when I first started making the strips but once I got going they were fine , I tidied up the cut edges with a polishing pad the floor was 2.5m2 I made 3m2 worth of tiles

 

[Chalker]

I suppose, even if it took a day to make them. It is still cheaper than £275 a metre.

Using porcelthin you will have a clean edge too.

 

[Chalker]

All the tiles are the same shape, but what is the angle ? @GaryTheTiler

 

[Spud]

If you do a rhombus it is 360 divided by 3 so the 2 wide opposing agles are 120 degrees or 2'equalateral triangles back to back

 

[Spud]

If you do the square and 2 parallelograms the angles will be 45 degrees

 

[Chalker]

I see now!
It's an equilateral triangle flipped over.

Cheers mate.
