Porcelain quality differences and skirting

[grout_minds]

Are the following tiles identical?
White Super Polished Porcelain Wall/Floor Tile 60x30
Super White Pre-Sealed Polished Porcelain Wall/Floor Tile 60x30
Will the Tile shops typically match that sort of prices difference?

Does anyone supply the following tile in skirting size 100x600?
[DLMURL="http://www.tilegiant.co.uk/jakarta-vanilla-polished-porcelain-floor-tile-60x60.html"]Jakarta Vanilla Polished Porcelain Floor Tile 60x60[/DLMURL]
If not will a tiler curse my name if I ask them to cut to that size?

Thanks.

Looks like the same tile / same no. But you never know.
Your tiler will be able to cut your tile to skirting size but you will only get 2 pieces with a good edge.

I could rip you 3 x 600 x 98mm using my dw24000 with a perfect manufactured edge from one tile. Any tiler who is half decent and has the right tools should be able to do the same

there must be 20 factories all producing 60x30 polished white porcelain

the same picture is used in both sites, the sites are almost identical

Most tiles that size are 297mm I find

The Jakarta vanilla polished sounds familiar to Tile giant. I think i bought one while ago to replace a tile for someone.

Thanks for all the replies.
If a 600mm tile is cut into 5-6 slices (depending on precise size). I understand that I will only have 2 good edges.
I assume we can use the slices with good edges for the painted wall for a tile skirting and use the rough edge slices to create the border skirting which butts up against full size tiles going up the wall.

You could use all the pieces as skirting if you cover the top edge with a tile trim! Depending on the 'look/style' a square edge metal trim in chrome or alliminium by Homelux or Schluter would give a elegant finish. I'd not use any cut edge of tile against a good edge in any installation with porcelain tiles ( with the hand cut Victorian designs we undertake, all tiles are cut edges).

both the white tiles you link to have the same SKU number so it is very likely they are the same tile. Tile Giant and Tile HQ are owned by the same people but I believe TileHQ is aimed more at the trade market and TileGiant at the retail market
