Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 04, 2016 2:50 pm Hi, Need some help in making this decision about the timber-look tiles we have chosen. The tiles that we have chosen are 975*235 in size and apparently they don't have the required quantity and won't be available for when we need and they are now coming in as 2-pack ( 975*235 size and 975*135) in size. The shop guys reckon it would be more natural looking but wouldn't it be weird with the two different sizes. We do have an option to select different color in the original size we paid for. what should we do. Can anyone share the pics if something like this had happened so we can make a quick call. cheers, Alkira homes - Elyse15 Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 2Feb 04, 2016 3:29 pm That's an interesting dilemma. We have 200 x 900 wood look tiles. They are all the same size though. I can imagine having two different tile sizes would cause a headache for your tiler and might not look as good as you want it to. I would change the colour of your tile instead if I were you. I think the same size tile look pretty good. Here is what ours currently looks like.

Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 3Feb 04, 2016 3:33 pm Thank you for your reply abztronic. you have got some nice tiles there. I Hate to be in this position as i have matched my tiles to my overhead cupboards keeping the rest white. I found something on houzz with what i think is different sized tiles. http://www.houzz.com.au/photos/18397522 ... room-perth i would have to go and look at the other colours that are available too Alkira homes - Elyse15 Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 4Feb 04, 2016 4:04 pm It does look pretty decent. I prefer the one size though. Are your tiles similar colours to the picture?? Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 5Feb 04, 2016 4:11 pm I'm with abztronic. Two widths would be weird. Timber look tiles should look like the real thing imo. I have never seen a timber floor with different width boards. What is your budget? Id recommend going to other suppliers. using Tapatalk Edge39.my-letter-box.com Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 6Feb 04, 2016 4:35 pm Abztronic , Below is my tile Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's quite light and yes Iam leaning towards the same size tiles. I'am checking if the stock is available at other suppliers Stevemc, we are paying them quite a bit at around 170 per m2 for installation as we want them done by the builders rather than us looking for a tiler and doing it post build -------------------------------------- Alkira Homes - Elyse 15 Alkira homes - Elyse15 Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 7Feb 04, 2016 5:54 pm raina Abztronic , Below is my tile Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ It's quite light and yes Iam leaning towards the same size tiles.

Very expensive though! Is the 200/m2 for supply and install? Ours cost about 135/m2 Good luck in getting an alternative. Try tile direct. That's where we got ours from. Re: Help needed : Timber look tiles ( 2 pack vs single sized 8Feb 05, 2016 10:42 am I'd recommend Sydney tile gallery as well. You can get similar tones in 900x135 for 40-70m2 then add about 80-100 for laying. Not massively cheaper but if you save $50m2 in a 100m2 floor it's 5k cheaper!
