patterned floor tiling

[BrhTiling]

ok, probably a dim newbie question here... but take a look at this pic and tell me... do the white tiles come pre cut or do you have to chop all 4 corners off each white tile to make the dark ones fit in?

If so, what is this kind of pattern called and what do you guys charge for laying?

 

[uug197h]

these tiles are pre cut for this pattern

 

[BrhTiling]

phew! I nearly had a heart attack..... the thought of cutting every one in the same way you might do a small centre bit on a wall...

I would be there all year!

LMAO, could take a while doing it that way I must agree.

have laid them tiles before and little bits are " taco's " and come in several colours or they used to as havn't seen these tiles for while now. use to be popular tile but trends change.. but they look effective tho....

 

[clmcg123]

how much extra did you charge on top and compared to normal floor,how much longer did it take you?

 

[DHTiling]

to tell you the truth its just as quick as normal floors , the only thing to watch for is these tiles can be quite sizey so just make sure you keep to your lines. dave..

 

[BrhTiling]

They look good once finished though... Personally I wont charge extra now I know they don't all need cutting.... I just was a bit confused because someone mentioned on another forum about having to cut EVERY tile... I thought *wtf?!!*

 

[DHTiling]

dowt you'll ever fix that type of tile now , quite old fashioned by t/days styles..........

 

[grumpygrouter]

Funny you should say that Dave, I have a job coming up in the near future and the guy wants exactly that style. Don't know where to get them from though!!!

Any ideas?

[DHTiling]

only place i can think "might" have that type of tile would be tile clearing house or discount tiles, only a guess as they tend to sell lower range market tiles etc..
