Hi,
Is it possible to identify a tile from the markings on its back? We recently bought a house that at some point (four or five years ago, I'm guessing) had had a kitchen fitted by Magnet. I'm assuming that the tiles were supplied by Magnet, but they've been unable to confirm that as they claim not to keep any paperwork for more than a year. We want to buy some replacement tiles to match what's already in for a new section that needs doing, but none of the paperwork we inherited gives us any idea of who made the tiles, or what range they're from. Unfortunately, the kitchen seems to have been put in by the last occupants but one, so we have no way of finding and contacting them.
There were four spare tiles that we found in a cupboard and the only identfying marks are a "Made in Spain" stamp in the top left, and in the bottom right there's a small smooth panel, which has the numbers 1-8 and below that the numbers 9-14 stamped in. Except that each different colour tile (there's a variety of colours) has one number that hasn't been stamped, so in the case of an off-white tile, it goes 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 and then 9 10 11 12 13 14 below that. There's no maker's name anywhere, either on the back or on the sides.
The tiles are kind of glazed ceramic, 10cm by 10cm and not perfectly square - the edges are slightly uneven. The two tile shops I've gone in have both observed that they are a little thicker than usual.
I know this isn't much to go on, but any help identifying these tiles would be a big, big help.
Thanks,
Richard.
