They look very pixelated when compared to the tile at Cosham. http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r28/txateu/DSC_0161.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r28/txateu/DSC_0162.jpg The tile on the left is just a spare 'travertine' look ceramic tile i had laying around. Now i'm not sure If I should question MV now or wait an see it when its up, at which point if I'm not happy then its kind of too late?! Very different I would question them now, they looked similar in the first photo you put up though. Re: Txateu's Build - Mainvue Amalfi 532 97Oct 09, 2013 10:15 pm Thanks zerosignal, just to clarify, The first photo I put up was of the samples at Cosham, they were the same tile side by side, they just had two on the shelf. The second set of photos are of an actual tile I borrowed from the build next to a tile with nice texture. The grey tile isn't actually a Saturina tile, but it is the kind of texturing I was expecting which is different to the Elana tile I've had delivered. Re: Txateu's Build - Mainvue Amalfi 532 98Oct 09, 2013 10:19 pm Ok, in that case I would say that the tiles are correct then based on that. The texture is there but I too originally remember it being more subtle than I first thought. Re: Txateu's Build - Mainvue Amalfi 532 99Oct 10, 2013 12:29 pm Just go the tile shop and ask for a sample of the tile you wanted. They'll give it to you. Then you can compare side by side. Different batches always look different but its much better to question it now than find out its wrong after its been laid. Its a bit strange that it has a different name on the box but who knows.

I thought of that but Hynes Tiles dont have any of the tile in stock for 2 months. I'm not sure of any other company that stocks the tile. Thank you so much everyone. This all makes a lot of sense.
