B&Q tiles? Anything wrong with them?

helping_hubby

Is there any reason not to buy tiles from B&Q?

I've seen some I like (£18 per sq m) and I like them as much as the £30per sq m ones I like in Topps tiles.

Nothing 'wrong' with B&Q tiles, as far as I'm aware. It's just down to quality. Compare B&Q tiles to some top of the range tiles and you will see the difference (finish, glaze, etc).

Personally I reckon that, for something like a bathroom, the tiles make the room so it is worth spending that little bit more. Having said that, there's no point spending money for the sake of it. If you have found tiles you like then B&Q should be fine - if you find any defective ones then take them back.

The only thing I'd say is that they're often not all that cheap although sometimes they're bargainous (need a cross-eyes icon!)

They're doing some oversized white glossies at £6 a metre and the polished porcelain floor tiles are dirt cheap as well (I've laid them with none of the problems reported previously)

Tiles are a nightmare to shop for IMVHO - you can spend a fortune on tat. I hate shopping for them!
