them B&Q black porcelain

[Averroes]

PjTiler, how much are these tiles cost from B&Q matey as I am close to buying some in white from Almurad in bradford which have a 1/4 meter squared coverage per tile. Does B&Q have a white version of these also?

I am not a professional tiler just a DIYer and was wondering which spacers to get for such large tiles. I like the idea of keeping the gaps short like you have done but then wondering how to grout the buggers without marring the glazed finish

cheers

Looks a great job.............. and I'm somewhat relieved as I have 27 m being delivered next Saturday.
Mine are the 400's in black also white..........

im a DIY er so could I ask what size spacer you used here please as i really like the look but would that gap be too big in 400 size?

Also you say you sealed them i have got some Lithofin impregnator as thats what i was told to use could any give me some guidence on that issue please


I will over the moon if the job looks like yours brilliant


TT

Looks a great job and nice to see grey grout!

White is dodgy on a floor becasue it gets so dirty.

lol come on give me benefit of doubt, im not a pro tiler so not spot on with the correct terms. So long as you understand what i mean 😉

Regarding only £10 a box, are these seconds or something that they are cheap? The ones I was going to buy are £22 a box with less coverage (1 meter squared)

cheers
