Quartz blue tiles

Hi am thinking of buying the blue starburst quartz tile at £75 m2 (blue with sparkly bits!).

Just wondered if anyone had these and what opinion they have them as they are expensive and am worried that they will show every bit of dirt or marks!

Thanks

    We have them in Grey. They are actually very good at hiding dirt as they are so sparkly you don't notice the dirt :-) my friend has the black ones and they are a nightmare !

    Nice tiles but even for 600 x 600 thats really rather overpriced. Shop around.

    We bought ours last year but couldn't find anything like it elsewhere, so had to pay up. Hopefully a cheaper alternative this year. The blue ones are in Disney shops if you fancy looking at them in action :-)

    These are ours, called something different but 300x600

  • Yep I think the ones we want are blue stardust!

    Are they easy to clean and keep looking good?

    I wouldn't say they are easy to clean as they need to be dried to keep their shine but they do look fab and is first thing people comment on.

    clean them with lithofin easy care, using a microfibre mop - this will stop the smears. problem with a lot of off the shelf cleaners is that they are designed to build up a layer of chemicals on the floor and that doesnt work well on shiny stone.

    Agree with keystone, price is too high. We sell the royal blue for £59.95 inc vat and would happily send you a sample.

    Dont worry about buying them online (i would say that wouldn't i?), as long as you've seen a sample and are happy you have nothing to worry about. you could argue that with distance selling regulations its safer than in store.
    if you're really concerned if you pay with credit card then your covered against fraud or non-delivery etc.

    actually i stand corrected.....£62.95 for the royal blue, sorry.

    whoever you buy from make sure you confirm that they are nano finished and don't require sealing
