Flexel ecofilm

Unusual mate give flexel a call. Maybe it's alright somehow.

Will do Dan. So used to Googling things I did not think about picking up the phone!

 

[Dan]

Did you ring them mate? Are they open today?

Not had time today Dan, today I was not cutting Villeroy & Boch tiles with my Sigma. I rang the tile shop and they said my tiles can only be wet cut! I digress. Will call them Monday.

 

[Dan]

Whaaaaat? The all singing and all dancing sigmas have met a tile they can't cut?!?!

As we suspected. Ecofilm is not designed for tile. It should only be used for wood/laminate. It does not like moisture (i.e. adhesive or bathroom environments). The tech guy at Flexel has never heard of anyone using ecofilm for tile because they have other products for tiled rooms.

Of course if it was used and it went wrong, then there would be no guarantee.

So that's it, I've had to walk from another job!

Strangely enough I quoted for tiling a porch for the same lady customer a couple of months back. It was quarry tiles that I said needed coming up or an uncoupling membrane laid first before it's tiled. Anyway she did not take my advice. She employed a decorator that said he could tile. She was not happy with his work, nor was she too pleased that he broke several tiles that cost her half a day in buying replacements. Needless to say he went straight over the quarry tiles with different grout line thickness's and only managed to tile 15mm from the skirting.

Customers will sometimes never learn.

People need to employ the right qualified tradesmen for the right job! It does my blinking head in sometimes thinking they're throwing away their money when they're assuming they've saved a few quid.
