Chip -that was from Floors2Go?

I found out what it was - it is made from old rubber trees that dont produce much rubber any more. Meant to be quite hard and not rubbery!

I do a few houses up and have been very very impresed with B&Q tiles. They always seem to have good looking contemporary tiles far cheaper than anywhere else. For example I just tiled the floors & walls of a small(ish) bathroom with the limestone look-a-like tiles 600mmx300mm. It looks superb, everyone comments how expensive tiles look etc. Top of my head they worked out at £12 SQMT which is fantastic. Most tiles of this sort were starting at £20 SQMT and upto £35SQMT. Also used the white vennered tiles which have a streaked look to them, again fantastic look and got them in the sale for £5 SQMT

Far to may people thin B&Q and turn there noses up, long as your tiler tiles it well they look good with a nice mirror, chrome towel rail etc.

Old adage...expensive tiles look cheap if tiled poorly and vice versa.

PS - there own brand wall tile grout is fooking awful, has no grab whatsover.

And the tile adhesive they do is about twice the price of that from my local tile supplier.
