Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Sep 01, 2008 6:10 pm I while ago I had a bit of a dilemma as to what colour tile to go with. There'll be a lot of tiles in the house. Kitchen, dining, family, rumpus, laundry, all hallways and the bathrooms!!
I decided on the charcoal but have been worried ever since that they'll be too dark. Finally saw them in a display home on the weekend and they look great! In a very upmarket display if you don't mind. I must have...taste! Here's some pics from the display. First one is at the shop.

No we are getting a darker grout but now I'm rethinking. I know this is a stupid post but I've been so worried and I'm just so glad I won't have too black floors!!! I love how they look!!! Woo hooo!!!! (I really have to get a boyfriend don't I?) Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!!

(can i ask what was it supposed to be??? A sword maybe-maybe not??) Love the tiles Jo, are you going to have them layed like that or like bricks so they alternate? They're going to go really well with the black carpets too. At least now you can visualise the look and have photos to remind you...well done! Very nice, very classy!! Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 11Sep 01, 2008 8:05 pm Too late gone!!

Woo hoo! 12Sep 01, 2008 8:33 pm Nic no they are not going to be laid brick like but they will be laid differently than in the pic. Rather than how they look horizontal in the balloon pic , they will be vertical sort of leading down the house.
Donuts I think we'll stick with the grout we picked. The white will get so dirty even with sealer. Bel , DSs solo not mine. I'm a boring water girl. As for the balloon it was supposed to be a sword. Take from that what you will. Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 16Sep 01, 2008 10:00 pm Hey - I reckon we've got exactly the same tiles! They are actually been laid this week, and are 300x600mm. Have you got the name of the tile? If they're the same, I'll hopefully have some more shots of them for you to look at. I guess God didn't use subbies... Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 17Sep 01, 2008 10:03 pm MrT Hey - I reckon we've got exactly the same tiles! They are actually been laid this week, and are 300x600mm. Have you got the name of the tile? If they're the same, I'll hopefully have some more shots of them for you to look at. They are called Lithic GI Porcelain in Charcoal and yep 300x600. Oh I hope they are the same and pics would be brilliant!!! Thanks. I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 18Sep 01, 2008 10:16 pm Just dug through my box of building stuff - we picked the tiles out in July 07, so it was buried a fair way down...
And yes, we have a match! "Lithic Charcoal GI-Porcelain Rec 300x600". Our grout code is 273. We are also having the "Lithic Beige GI-Porcelain" tiles (300x300) in our house. Basically will have the Beige from the entrance, through the hallway to about where our kitchen is, then the Charcoal tiles in the family area (North facing). We're also having a thin strip of charcoal tiles down the edge of the hallway, so that there is some transition from the light to dark tiles. Hopefully will look OK, but we'll know more this week. Can't believe its been nearly 14 months since we picked the tiles! And that they are actually still available, after hearing some horror stories on this forum of people having to reselect tiles with a day's notice. I guess God didn't use subbies... Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 19Sep 01, 2008 10:22 pm My grout code is 211. I have no idea what that means. It's a mid grey from memory.
I can't wait to see yours! But if you picked yours that long ago now I'm worried they'll be deleted by the time I need mine! I can't wait to see yours. I'll remind you for pics if you forget to post! I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: Finally saw my tiles! Not black!! Woo hoo! 20Sep 01, 2008 10:29 pm I reckon if they still have them after 14 months, they're not getting rid of them in a hurry. BTW - is that Beaumont tiles in Chadstone in the photo? I guess God didn't use subbies... All sorted guys. Just needed to buy a blade with the correct bush. Dunno how to delete this post, can't find any help file.
