Can anyone identify these tiles?..

[rizsher]

Hi,

Can anyone me identify these tiles?. Don't know where the previous owner got them from and a recent upgrade has opened up a can of worms that my wife just won't let me live down!!!.

They're like interpsered with gray, white, beige and light blocks. Each tile is 20cmx20cm

I've laid these tiles more than once. They're a 200mm x 200mm tile similar to (I think?!?) the Porcelanosa ones that have got cut grooves instead of white lines separating the individual mosaics.

Sadly, however, that is as far as the mists of time will allow me to look back. My gut feeling says that they were sold by someone like B&Q.

About the only constructive suggestion I can make (but it may cause a degree a conflict at chez rizsher) would be to take one of them off the wall and look on the back for a manufacturer's mark or clean all the adhesive off and post a photo of it on here.

Do you know how long ago they were laid?

Thanks for that Paul.

You're right, I managed to track the previous owner down who also seems to think the tiles were bought at B&Q. Have been to B&Q, but couldn't find ANY tiles of this mosaic type that're sold as 20x20 pcs, only the individual mosaic pieces, and none that are even close to my tiles in color.

Will consider removing the tiles as a last resort; as I have a feeling i'll cause more damage.

they were laid about 5 years ago; don't know if there is any site/catalogue that stocks tiles from that long ago.

I've found tiles not stocked for 20 years in tile discount houses. That's where all the old stock goes.
