Thineer slate.

[Stef]

In CTD Glasgow & was talking to a couple of reps,

They showed me a new product, thineer slate tiles.

1.5/2mm thick mounted on a fiberglass backing.

Anybody saw this or had any experience of this yet.

 

[Gazzer]

That should stop the Dot and Dab merchants :smilewinkgrin:

 

[The D]

I saw them 2 or 3 years a go they look the dogs danglers

 

[Stef]

These are only samples (off cuts)

The sheets come in 1200x600 roughly

The Bal rep had tiled the circular shower cubicle on top of glass mosaics to show what you can do with them.
