Got of the phone with the company that imports the tiles they say their Tolerance guide lines allows them to sell tiles up to 5mm different in size and call it the same tile. 5mm difference in size to me sounds like a completely different tile as theses tiles are 45x45

Hi, I ordered two different batches of the same porcelain tile, same size etc. However now that they have arrived my builder has noticed that the first batch are smaller than the second batch. The difference in size means that we are unable to lay them down in a straight line. The...

I will have a word with him on Monday. He suggested we use carpet trim last time instead of tile trim. He says he has it in his bathroom. I don't belive him. I think he suggested carpet trim because it sits on the surface and it is less work for him to fit.. :shock: I haven't paid him for...

It was actually fitted by specialist subcontractors who do nothing but liquid screed floors in the midlands. I guess from your reply you can't see any noticable Latience? I've tested the floor with a moisture meter that I got off amazon and the highest level i could get was 35% (hallway)...
