slim line

[dave l and l]

has anyone fitted the the b & q slim line 600 x 300
had a customer ask me to fit them but sure how good the quality is

 

[waseem]

Ive just bought these too from b&q.
slim porcelain 30x600 in Ivory.

Im not sure about fitting and cutting them.

 

[DHTiling]

Not seen them yet lads

 

[dave l and l]

let me know how you get on when fitting them. i wont be doing job for a while yet

 

[widler]

are these the ones i saw in b&q last year,a big sign saying 'b&q thin tiles,especially designed for tiling over tiles' :cool2:

 

[dave l and l]

not sure if they say tile over tile but they are from b&q. they say for wall and floor but i am slightly uncomfortable with the idea that something so thin should go on the floor

 

[MTiler]

I wouldnt be too sure about putting them on the floor either, would definately need a solid bed of adhesive underneath and probably on a concrete base. Theyre alot lighter than usual thickness 60 x 30 porc which suits me lol

60x30 slim tiles in B&Q are mad by RAK Ceramics. Quality should be good as its RAK. Just be careful as they may bow if you spread adhesive too thick as with any powder type adhesive you will get some shrinkage.

Doubt you should use for floor, may be ok solid bed though on concrete. ( have a look on rak web site)

Thin/slim porcelain tiles are a big thing at the moment in comercial applications, ie over tilling weight reduced.

B&Q testing the waters with it but i reckon it wont last so buy enough to do the job!

the best way to cut the thin tiles is to scibe lightly snap with your fingers when using adhesives need to be alittle bit wetter not so stiff a good adhesives by tilemaster light weight standard ok to tile floors need to get full coverage b&q tiles look down long edge tend to curl slitly for thin tiles look up porcel-thin let me know what you think will post some pictures latter of my work

 

[dave l and l]

yeah guy phoned so going round to discuss start date, he has already got tiles so i will just let him know the score witht he tile and a strat date. i will post pics so you can have a look at job when its done and tell you how they were for fitting

I came across these the other day, 4.8mm they were and the guy had them to go on walls an floor. they look flimsy to me to say the least and I'd be hesitant about fitting them on a floor and any wall that is not perfect. overall conclusion - didnt like them !

what size trowel do you intend using for these tiles

 

[dave l and l]

to be honest not sure what size of trowel. i will need to get a look at them first i have only had a glance. also not seen the bathroom walls either. be happy with any suggestions. i will express my issue with tiles on floor.

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

i use 8mm trowel on 4.8 mm tiles gives good coverige when cutting scibe lightly snap with fingers tile on tile on tile as long as the tiles you are tilling on are sound and flat very fast to tile i have tiled many diffrent tiles just ajusted my methods its just a tile no more no less lett the tile know your the boss
