Tile Giant - Slate and Travertine.

Anybody fixed the Sheera modular slate from TG?

Also what's their trav. like for calibration?

Like I mentioned in another thread - I picked up a job this morning that I've got to stick a price against for the builder (the job's mine, but still need to price it - how's that for trust and customer satisfaction!!)

Just need to know what I'm going to be up against, with regards thickness's,etc. when the material arrives

I have fixed trav from TG, about 40 mts of it in total, excellent calibration to be honest, usual back skimming the tiles to fill the holes.

laid 115mts just before xmas, of sheera slate

tnh punter wanted rustic so wasnt bothered about calibration, theres a fair bit diff in thicknes on the slate though quite fragile but ok to work with

Cheers TWT When you say 'fair bit difference' how much are you talking?? Is it generally the bigger size tile that is the thicker one (hopefully)? How many m2 per normal day were you getting fixed?

sorry mate but they are all different lol

some thin on the big and some thick, buy extra 25% addy tbh

Just laid the slate today. Most off them weren't that bad, odd 1 here and there a bit thin. Same as TWT though, thought the were a bit fragile.
