    I was in TileStyle yesterday and spotted they are selling a porcelain wood tile @ €93.64 / sq m, which I liked the look of.

    I then happened to see that the tile company are selling via Amazon.co.uk @ €32.36 / sq m.

    Bit of a discrepancy? Are there any other online tile retailers I should look at?

    Also anywhere in NI I should try.. B&M or online? Thanks

    Currently going this route ourselves. We're going to tile the whole apartment with them replacing dirt cheap laminate flooring. TBH I'd recommend shopping around in bricks and mortar stores as the difference between them is massive. We've been in with Tilemarket, Nationwide Tiles and Right Price Tiles. We've looked in Tilestyle but tbh you are gettings prices there that pay for their lovely showrooms. We are looking at ones that are working out at around €35 per sq mtr. But we have seen prices from €29 to €100 per sq mtr. Watch Right Price their headline prices are in sq yds!

    Nationwide Tiles purely because the missus likes the shade and design of the tile.

    I found the price is normally around half of what's on the sticker in tile shops when I was doing bathrooms a few years ago. Not sure why as it makes it hard to see what you can afford! We got wood effect tiles for a downstairs toilet for around 25/m2. Think it was in City tiles near the Red cow

    Sorry not clear, price is half where? Buying direct from the maker you mean?

    Is there an online shop where you get tiles of all makes at this price?

    Sorry, the price on the tiles in a shop e.g. Tilestyle, project tiles etc... So the sticker says 100 per metre but salesman says I can do them for 50 or 60 per metre. Why not just put the "real" price on the sticker in the first place. That's what I found anyway, relevant as you said you saw the higher price in the shop but it may actually work out a good bit less.
