gerflor caralium flooring tiles - anybody with any advice?

Emmalou

I have just read about this fairly new type of flooring called Caralium, which is a mineral tile and, as the marketing blub says:

"Caralium® looks just like slate, ceramic and stone, yet is warmer underfoor, slip resistant, light and easy to handle and extremely durable".

Has anybody got this type of flooring, or any advice to offer?

Our nearest supplier is about 40 miles away, so I am trying to work out whether it's worth the trip to go and have a look!

I had a look at this stuff aswell. It looks and feels like a quality product. I especially like that it can be cut and that there is a groove formed between adjacent tiles that is then grouted to give that real tile look. I rated this stuff over Amtico for look and feel although Amtico obviously has a far longer track record. My only concern was that the store I went to said that you had to use a special Caralium adhesive for installation which is no doubt fairly expensive aswell. The store is a certified Caralium installer. I find it hard to believe that a commercially available high quality rubberised tile adhesive would not do the job.

In the end, I think we will be going with traditional ceramic tiles as there just isn't the range of finishes available in Caralium that you can get here.
