[Olz]

[enduro]

Christ, are they meant to have red crosses on the white tiles...:lol:

Oli, I've forwarded the e mails to you on the e mail address on your website.

Can somebody pleeeease tell me where I went wrong :mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2::mad2:

I up loaded the pictures to the site using the upload manager, then clicked and dragged the attachments accross to the post. I can see the pictures without a problem, they must be cached onto my PC.

I tried using the insert picture button but it wanted a URL

Thank you dave, it must be everyone else :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Here we go ........

You can see where the tiles are facing diferent directions by the fault line.....I think johnsons need to hold there hands up here.....the old trick...OH!! the fixer should have checked them before fixing them....

If this fault wasn't there to start with how can they blame the fixer..?..:huh2:

 

[Olz]

Did they have wax on them to protect them in transit where the lines have developed since laying?

 

[Grace'sDad]

Stevie Wonder wouldn't have fixed those in that state! :ninja:

They are a print finish porcelain bodied tile ..so i doubt it Oli...


looks like a glaze fault..but i would have thought it would have been there from day 1..

 

[cornish_crofter]

Never mind the tiles, how could some of you see the pictures and others not????

What did I do wrong???

Is there anything I need to remember for next time?

 

[DHTiling]

You did nothing wrong.....sometimes the load time of pics is slower on certain browsers...if they waited long enough they would probably show......

Upload the pictures to photobucket (Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket) youll need to register first, then once uploaded click the 'direct link' box and then come back here and paste this into the image link box that pops up (asking for the web site address of the picture).

Sounds more complicated that it is.

 

[Grace'sDad]

Mods, can I suggest it's time for a quick "how-to" refresher on posting images? Might see more peeps posting more pics too if you do?!

 

[cornish_crofter]

Thanks Dave, now I can sleep easy.

As for the tiles, I wonder if it's possible that moisture ingress could have worked with the glaze fault to manifest itself, possibly caused when the adhesive was setting.

Thanks, great idea

I'll do that next time. I tried to use this site's own facility to download them.

But it's strange how some of you could see it and others couldn't, as Dave says it may be the different browser speeds

Thanks so much guys for sorting the pics. out for me - any theories why these lines suddenly appeared after two weeks of them being laid. Also we pulled the fridge out and one of the tiles under it is affected so it can't have anything to do with light say hitting the tiles and bringing out the defect - this is all so weird !

 

[oldgit]

i dont much about how they are stacked after firing but it looks like thats where the problem has come from,they have been laid out maybe before they have cooled enough.
this is just a guess really.

 

[cornish_crofter]

Thanks so much guys for sorting the pics. out for me

That's quite alright:rofl:

It was honestly no problem :lol:at all

As you can see there were plenty of people to help:29:

In fact I very nearly managed it on my own :rofl:

So FUNNY:lol:

but what's happened to my tiles?????????????

 

[cornish_crofter]

I think the conclusion looks like that the fault was definitely there when the tiles were laid but I suspect that if you didn't see the fault, it wasn't visable as it is now.

My uneducated guess is that the drying out of the adhesive and grout may have caused some moisture to creep under the affected area of the glaze and make the fault more visable that it was before.

BUT that is only my theory taking on board what has been said here. Wait and see what the likes of Dave think to this suggestion.

I still say that you need to go back to B&Q.

 

[DHTiling]

I'm gunna hold my hands up and say..i have no idea why this has happened after 2 weeks ...if the fault was already there then yes a glaze fault...but to appear after 2 weeks..mmmm lost me...deffo a call back to B&Q karen...

 

[BDS]

Imo i`d say it was an origanal firing problem and its under the glaze and as crofter said its reacted when adhesive and grout as been aplied,my oppinion tho

is this thread wrapped up now so I can go to bed?
