Would you fix thin tiles?

hahhahahahahhahahaaa.........its a lot of things Wilder......but a "hole!".......really!........

I agree some 'decent places' but yes a 'hole' mate 🙂 I've been plenty of times as well 😉
Its bit like Manchester really,some 'decent places but most of it is a 'hole' 🙂
Then again I live in Burnley, well posh ! 🙂

If all tiles were like this and I was in tiling I guess I would fix them but I actually don't see the the point of them except to possibly reduce the cost of production for manufacturer and the aesthetically pleasing look of large format that is in vogue now.
i cannot see any advantage for the tiler,,just aggro trying to get large format tiles that are very thin to bed flush with each other.
i see arguments that the very thin tile sorts out loads of problems with weight on walls,but infix stone I don't have many issues with the weight of stone tiles at all let alone a normal large format porcelain.

I actually think they look like that plastic stuff you see in caravan showers,just big bloody panels 🙂

1200 x 1200 mm tiles! just think of the savings for some "tillers", only 5 blobs of adhesive per 1.44m2.:lol:

Are they alot more fragile than a 10mm porc or can you still whack them with the rubber mallet?

I rarely use anything else than 1200 x 600 thin tiles now. Clients love them though the prices seem to be edging up a bit (Ray???)

nice job i can see why your clients love them prices have not gone up for over a year ?only the volume of sales helping to keep the price down .some new tiles 1800x900 and 900x900 5.5mm are dearer than the 1200x600 4.8 mm but nobody can beat my prices and quailty or get any where near it the tiles would be 32% cheaper without eu dumping duty but they do like to tax anybody that trys to bring down the carbon foot print
