[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

been working on thin tiles for about two years looking for the way to take out the heavy lifting in our job with tiles getting bigger and heavyer . just been to kbb took all i have found biggest collection in the word out side china went very well had 270 shops across uk and ireland wanting displays there are some big changes on the way . you will love them all .easy to cut .light wieght adhesive 30% more covarge . most of all no more back ache . not bad for a tiler

sounds great, havent used these yet, starting a 8 week project next week, 1200x600, 600x600, etc, the tile collection has 4mm and 10mm depth to choose from. Guess which has been specified, yes the 10mm, no hoist or lift on site, oh the poor labourers who have got to lump these up 3 floors, 12 pallets worth, must be back breaking......

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

a few years ago builders started to use pumped screed from germany forgot to tell the tilers that these floors needed to be primed many floors failed. not mine .but got to look at plenty .next thing you need to use this matting that matting i primed these floors never failed . still dont get the matting. just lets builders get a way with poor jobs . now with thin tiles just want to give right info .on fixing .tilers always get blamed for a builders bullying and inconptence.:mad2:
