Stone tiles I find has dropped off a bit .

Plank effect floor tiles seem to be popular.

well the plain coulors have been the in thing for a few years greys leading the way last six mouths moving back to the stone look the printing is getting so much better the wood is being over done and is two a penny on the intrnet sites so a lott of retail shops are starting to take this off display as there is no money to be maid same as metros .there are a lot of jarasic creataus looking tiles starting to make in roads .but within the next 8 mouths a whole new thinking on the design will start to come through .a breath of fresh air and long over due will take the tile world by storm .

Yep porcelain plank tiles extreme popular, done several this year already, done one of 90m2 recently and another 60m2 floor to do in Aug, plus several small bathroom floors.

60x30 porcelain, loads of it this year so far.

600x300 porcelain has been the most popular size for me for few years.

Got my first Porcel-Thin job to do around middle July in Polished Carrera, and I've been pushing this format now every chance I get!
Need a change of scenery!

Lot of customers are getting away from brick bond as well, or that maybe down to me telling them they they are "so last year" and the fact that I got sick of bowed tiles.

The neutral colours are popular at the moment.....or stone effect/look tiles.

 

[richie b]

lots of staggered joints at the moment not sure why
