Floor fail...but why? - BCT "floor" tiles that are rubbish

[Stef]

it looks like slight movement in the floor but to crack that close to the grout line then it's the tile also.
Those tiles should never be classed as suitable for floor tiling.
I would demand the rep comes out & get this sorted.

If you're happy to, I'd be happy to move this thread to the public tiling forum and change the thread title to BCT Ceramic Floor Tiles Cracking and get the attention of a few others, and then go back to CTD once they've had some headache from them.

Is the the skirting coming apart on the corner? Might not be related?

Its as simple as this, if you don't think they're up to the job don't lay them or get a written go ahead, thats what I would do anyway 🙂
Why should you have to pick up the cost of a defective product!

Even if you have written paper is still your fault if you know is wrong and you do it!

It depends on the actual issue, it's not like your using bad practice. Your clearly stating due to previous instances regarding this manufacturers tile type your concern and that as the customer is supplying their own materials it's up to them if they choose to proceed. I think it would be hard to successfully lay the blame on the tiler in this instance in a court.
However I do agree that in an instance where bad practice has been used then a written go ahead is worthless.

The true is the fact you are the tradesman,the client not have any authority to tell you how you do your job.Is just up to you if is suitable or not,if you with your experience have any concern about the materials or surface not need to ask to your customer,just refuse to do something wrong.
