Just around the joins, like you would with a normal tile. A very fine grout is needed and the colour needs to be a good match to the fake grout so you don't see the real joints, if you catch my drift.

Is that door stop actually fitted to the floor?

Yes that's fitted to the floor

Now the holes are there maybe you could get them to replace it with one that's made to go on the floor. Where did you find these tilers?

Rather than drilling the tiles why don't you just get a doorstop like this

Dome Weight Door Stop Satin Nickel | NoLinksToThis

Wouldn't be too sure about them giving good cuts on the replacement tiles either if they're happy to leave them like that in the first place!!!

Bit scruffy, looks like they didn't have a decent manual cutter for the tiles. And that door stop should be wall mounted.

Porcelanosa came out and they seem to think the finish of the 2nd picture of the tiles where the edges are rugged is normal finish for these tiles!

What do you think, have you cut these tiles before? Heres the link Shine Aluminio

 

[IHB]

Are all the cut tiles like that or just the ones round the door?

 

[craigmmorq4]

Theres 16 tiles like this around door, window etc - basically all tiles that have been cut are like that except one or two

looks like they have a poor cutter. But sometimes the tiles are awful to cut and just chip. If that happens you have no choice but to use a wet cutter.
Bet they don't have one!
