Horrible tiles

[mike1979]

Well I've been waiting on my kitchen tiles for nearly a week for a job in bath 8 executive flats and when I seen them today well I was furious of all the choices the Q S had they chose these horrible things

are they manhattan blanco?

 

[mike1979]

No they are horrible lol I'm not sure I didn't bother looking on the box the bathrooms are stunning I'm really proud of how they turned out all porcelanosa tiles then these came for the kitchens obviously I've got to use them and everyone on site commented on how horrible they are

I could say they will look better when they are grouted - but I won't !

they are manhattan blanco ,could be worse could be using the negro version with black grout ,they aren't that bad once you get into the swing of them .

Ye easy to use I just don't like how they look and don't like how they interlock I just feel very strongly that you have pattern tiles and mosaics just hate what I call imitation tiles as you will always see that grout line !!

Really takes the edge off your day when you have fit visually poor tiles when you know there is so many stunning tiles out there.

I had the pleasure of these tiles a few weeks back. I found dry cutting the tile upside down worked better than normal way up, as the scoring wheel jumped along all the indents of the tile normal way up . I had to tile a shower enclosure so I had to cut the dovetails off each tile either end of the enclosure which was a pain. Also cutting into an internal corner was a bit hit and miss. The tiles chipped on wet cuts. Grouting was a pain because the grout filled the tile grout lines...........was I supposed to grout those lines? Anyway, they looked good with chrome trim and the customer was happy.

Good I'm glad it turned out ok I've got 8 2 metre kitchens to do with them and I hate the dove tail bits

I'm not sure if you grout the lines up on the tiles I sometimes do depends how it looks I suppose

You need to grout the whole face of the tile and you don't see the it
