Thanks,

It was Ardex FS classic vanilla grout and I sealed with LTP MPG impregnating sealer.

Did you do the whole floor area with the sealer after it was laid and grouted?

That job was the utility room and downstairs loo so I stuck and grouted the floors then sealed and polished a couple of days later. There was no transit wax on the tiles so I did not have the cleaning process in between .

It's easy to deal with. Just remember to remove the transit coating prior to grouting & sealing :lol:.

Cool. . cheers for your input mate, much appreciated. Can I ask, have you heard any negative comments about 'tilesporcelain.co.uk' as I think i have found the tiles I want?

Hmmmm I cant open the link, but if someone has set that up in their honour, then its not the best. Popping down to tile giant in a bit as seen they have a cream polished porcelain that might fit the bill, never used tile giant before, but if they sponsor this site then it must be a good sign

The link should work, as it's not in a hidden part of the forum??
The thread was actually created by the forum administrator and discusses the quality of product and service.

Tile Giant would certainly be a better bet for you if you can find something that you like. Mention Tilersforums to the staff so that they know to be extra nice to you :lol:.

Yes mate, the polished Jakarta 600x600 tile. I took one home and offered it up against the plinth and spot on and they are all rectified, so happy days. Never looked forward to tiling so much. . haha
