Quick question guys... im sure im seeing the same tile under different names?...and very different prices!

A.P.E Tracia Beige porcelain tile 60 x 40cm - cheapest I can find on the net is around £36m2
Baldocer Alpine Sand porcelain tile 60 x 40cm - which I can find for £15.50m2

I have a full APE Tracia tile, and only a 20cm2 sample of the Baldocer tile, however the back is EXACTLY the same with CE mark and numbers matching exactly and in the same place exactly... the designs are all different on this type of tile so the front its difficult to tell.

Could this be the same tile....perhaps just different name badge? Is this common?

I know I like the APE because I have two full tiles... im getting quoted £30 delivery for a full tile sample of the Baldocer :eek:( If I could confirm it was the same tile Id be happy!!!!
