Large Poilshed Floor Tiles

    I am looking at large (60 cm x 60cm) polished tiles for my new kitchen. Has anyone has any experience with these? I have a few questions?

    • Are they difficult to lay? I have done a lot of my own tiling but never with these big tiles.
    • Are they difficult to keep clean?
    • The tiles are off white. What colour grout would I use? Is white grout a no no?
    • Is 10% extra based on floor area enough or would I need extra based on the size of the tiles?

    Any other tips would be gratefully appreciated.

    Are they difficult to lay? I have done a lot of my own tiling but never with these big tiles. Yes, floor must be EXTREMELY level
    Are they difficult to keep clean? Yes
    The tiles are off white. What colour grout would I use? Is white grout a no no?Probably light grey
    Is 10% extra based on floor area enough or would I need extra based on the size of the tiles?Work out the number of tiles to cover the width and the number of tiles to cover the length and multiply together rather than just working on the actual area

    i m shopping around for my kitchen floor but i wouldn't buy them,
    not easy to lay.
    hard to keep clean.
    expensive option.
    and on top of that these tiles can easily get stain (which is not removable) :mad:
