Natural Slate Sheera Modular

[A.Tiler.]

just laid some of this it all went down pretty sweet apart from the 20x20's were not one bit square and some of them a little too big (had to trim them down to follow the pattern) but apart from that not bad at all.

I have started to lay the same tiles. I agree a lot of the smaller tiles are not square. Is the only solution to cut them or do I have a case for returning them or is this normal for slate.
More importantley if laying a modular pattern of 2 200mm wide tiles laid next to one 400mm tile with the gap of 5mm between the 2 200s they will not line up IE total lenght 405mm next to 400mm This will happen all over the pattern so how do you solve this please

Afraid most (maybe all) moduler tiles are cut to nominal sizes. (ie no allowance for grout lines) So you have to compromise the grout lines to suit. Slate usually uses a wider grout line so it doesn't look too bad

I've used modular travertine and it was a good fit with 3mm joints, never used the slate version. Depending how much was paid and where they came from

beige i think on this one, light walnut on the walls and dark walnut (in theory) on the floor but there wasn't a great deal in it to be honest
