Not advisable pookey1
The tiles may look to all be exactly the same size but they won't be. To start off it will look fine but as you move further away from the first tiles you won't be able to maintain straight edges. Using tile spacers and grout alleviates this and ensures straight lines.
Much better to use a dark grout to blend into the wood floor effect.

Hubby thinks it will look nicer without grout I.e will look like an actual wooden floor. Has anyone tried this please?

I have these porcelain tiles in my kitchen and they look fantastic staggered. The tiles do have a slight curve to them so laying them any other way and the curve might be noticeable. Laid with ivory grout.

When you say staggered do you mean brick effect or like you would lay wood flooring completely random. I'm unsure which to do. :thinking:

Thanks OP. Will have a look. Does anyone know if these. are end of line or will they get more stock in, albeit at a higher price?
Whether paint or tiles it is always best to over buy more than you need. You can then touch up or replace later

As far as I'm aware they are just the offer of the weekend, return to full price Tuesday.

Purchased 35 boxes and can't wait to lay them in the kitchen. Love a bargain as Tile Giant are the same company and are £30 a box in there. Happy days.

Thanks for posting, we bought a sample box to try in situ earlier than another 24 before closing today. Had to make two trips getting them home (only 4 miles away) as the car's suspension looked to be struggling at the rear despite loading it fairly evenly.; hardly surprising with nearly 1/2 a ton of weight.
The missus is very happy, many thanks.

Just order some for the hall – thank you!
Does anyone know if this deal for stone-style tiles is also worth going for? Got an ensuite to tile!
Just ordered 20 packs! Couldn't have come through at a better time :grin:

I've got these in my kitchen, the wifey loves them, laid them last year and they still look fab, and at this price I might consider getting some more to continue through to hallway

What grout did you use please?
Antwon10 to bubblesmoney
19 Aug 17#44
I used a grey grout from screwfix, stuff that you had to mix yourself, it was adhesive too
Daves_mate to Antwon10
19 Aug 17#36
Hi mate, kinda hard to tell but was wondering what colour grout you've used (the other pic is clearly dark grey but yours doesn't show as much)?
Antwon10 to Daves_mate
19 Aug 17#43
Hi, ours was a grey floor grout which I got from screwfix, I only used little spacers as have used big spacers before on tiles, and after having numerous spills on it, after cleaning over timethe grout becomes marked and faded.

Failing that hire a professional floor layer

You need to lay these on a good base either a solid floor or if floorboards you need to lay 12mm ply seal it and use a flexible adhesive and grout . Laying on top of other tiles is ok if they are ceramic a cement based adhesive will secure them well . Remember to spread the adhesive so that it combs the shortest way across the tile when laid do not dab and dot floor tiles . . Dry grinding will chip the tiles you can buy a cheap d I y wet grinder for 40 quid. They are not easy to cut with a d I y tile cutter . You need a 10 mm scoring wheel . Rubi make the best tile tools . If your solid floor is uneven using a levelling compound and allow to dry .

Just came back from seeing the tile: the actual tile is very different to the image, and it does not resemble oak. Decided, despite the very tempting price, not to buy it.

Agree. I also saw them in the store and didnt like the look or the finish. Definitely not as good print and finish as the more expensive ones. Tiling arent replaced too often, so may be its better to be 100% happy before buying

Thanks, just got 16 packs from Cannock store.
The wood grain effect does look like oak, I've just spent a week installing oak newels and handrails on our staircase so can compare like for like.

Laid loads of these they look great staggered with charcoal grout . Remember you need flexible adhesive and they are porcelain so a decent cutter is essential and or a diamond wet wheel .

£5 a metre is a bargain. These look good . And less maintenance than real wood . And will last years longer if laid correctly

Can they be used in a wet room?

Do these need to be laid on a perfectly level surface, also can they be laid on top of our current foam eva tiles or will compression mean the tiles wont work?

I believe they also have tile effect wood flooring. I don't understand why. Wouldn't you just buy wood if you want wood effect and buy tiles if you want tile effect.

when you want tiles badly but the floor is too flexible to take tiles and you are morbidly obese?

Under floor heating doesn't work very well through a timber floor. Most new build house have underfloor heating throughout the ground floor, hence the demand for wood effect tiles.

Guy mentioned tile effect laminate, not wood effect ceramic tile :smile:

Ive just spent two days replacing 4 floorboards. Lifting old boards, Sanding, colour matching , varnishing, filling gaps. It was a real pita and hasnt come out particularly well from a colour matching pov.
I can imagine why people would want tiles to look like wood but not give the hassle of wood.

My uncle lived in a house where kitchen had wooden floor (most used place in the house), new house they are building has underfloor heating and wood alike tiles :grin: Auntie had enough of hassle with spills, wet dogs, kids etc.

It is a lovely view. Oak look porcelain. I did not know such a product existed for floors. The description says wall and floor tile. If this was a vinyl tile I'd be in as I need to lay a floor in a utility room.
