Yes , it's going to be a bolt on to the kitchen/bathroom/bedroom showroom.
Waffling aside.well on avarage i train 4 to 5 tilers a week .week in week out when a client buys our tile we all ways say if your tiler has not used this format before get them to give us a ring and come in for some training thats how we have sold over 40000 m2 with very few problems we will not sell them to other tile shops now unless at least one sales person from that shop comes in to go through some training on fixing them .there are far to many tile shops selling products they dont understand giving all the wrong info to client and fixer alike .i have lost count of the amout i have had to sort out .with the big names selling thin tiles but leaving the tilers on there own to figure it out .not even returning there calls .well we turn away no one and tilers are welcome any time they need help .

mike is a regular in our shop i have all ways kept him up to date on fixing methods .and our rep martin does training mornings at the tile shops we deal with .Customers get the ones I've fitted from Acorn Tiles but doubt wether the guys behind the counter have had any training or not that I know of.
well what did you exspect from b&q. there tile displays should be in the fruit and veg section bannana any one .I have tried to lay the B&Q porcel thin . disgraceful ,. Misahapen and bowed . Got 2m2 on the wall and took them off . I don't care what any of these reps say , some of us have standards
Fair comment ,they were just ultra thin , shouldn't have used your trade markwell what did you exspect from b&q. there tile displays should be in the fruit and veg section bannana any one .

So any tiler in their own area could offer this as a service and take a sample board (or link to the tilersforums Porcel Thin category in the media album - plug plug)) and flog to the customer and get trade prices etc?we sell to over 28 tile shops some are on the site some are not we sell to tilers developers
builders and retail and so on
all real tilers get a trade discount they often pop in and take a full size sample as a set of small samples on a boards .just does not work .its like giving some one a spare tire and asking them to guess what car it came off .So any tiler in their own area could offer this as a service and take a sample board (or link to the tilersforums Porcel Thin category in the media album - plug plug)) and flog to the customer and get trade prices etc?
Still need to send you that job i did ray, been busy these past month or so , i will get some photos and send then asap matethinking of adding a book match collection to our range what are your thoughts heres some pics
my dream would oh you have come in for the white tile then i would only need to stock one oh happy days .but the goal post are all ways moving there always one who wants it a diffrent shade of whiteMust be honest I'm not much for that style. Prefer the bold single colour ones myself.
