Tiling like in hotel receptions

[bob2611]

I am looking to buy some porcelen tiles from BQ. It's for my hallway. However, i want to get the effect that I see in hotel lounges i.e tiles next together without grout lines.

The chap in the shop said it cannot be done. you have grout around each tile.

anyone know how it can be done.

also, BQ say that I need to seal porcelen tiles with a glossy finish. I purchased some from wickes last year and no issues and did not have to seal it. Any know if that's true .

any help is appreciated.

You're on about Terrazzo flooring and it's a bit involved. You'll need to get specialist contractors in to do it and it won't be cheap. Usually this sort of floor is used on large scale applications.
