Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 27, 2008 11:59 am Just got a call from Builder. My main ensuite tile (to go on floor AND walls) has been discontinued
I could cry. I spent so much time choosing them, then RE-choosing them, as some of you may remember and helped me with! It's the main big tile in the pic below. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Am currently trying to summon up the mental strength to go back to Beaumont's this afternoon and choose another one. Re: My tiles have been discontinued 2Oct 27, 2008 12:08 pm Ohhh no!!! Dounts!! I'm so sorry! what a pain....
Have they given u an alternative replacement? We got a letter saying our tiles have been discontinued too, but they supplied us with a replacement (poreclein upgrade at now extra cost! hehe) When do you have to chose ur new tiles by? Maybe u can chose a couple that u like and post them here and we can help u choose? good luck! Re: My tiles have been discontinued 3Oct 27, 2008 12:08 pm No good donuts. I know the feeling.. best of luck finding something similar. Re: My tiles have been discontinued 5Oct 27, 2008 12:25 pm Judging by what my tile suppliers has…..theres a few different ones out there Donuts.
You should find another ok. Make sure you ask them how their availability is for the new tile!

I know how you feel as ours were discontinued. Lucky that you got a call about it. Bel told me after she went and did her selections. NT were just going to give is the replacement without telling us.
I really hope that you find a new tiles that is close to what you have. Lucky it's not the embossed one! Happy at Home Re: My tiles have been discontinued 8Oct 27, 2008 1:00 pm When I saw his, I thought it was your embossed one!!!!!!! I knew you could never recover from that - no chance of Colorbond-ad type admiration without that one!!!
Hopefully you can find a similar one that you like as much - or even more! Fingers crossed!

I thought exactly the same! Phew, could have been worse. Re: My tiles have been discontinued 12Oct 27, 2008 4:11 pm I'm back from Beaumont's!
It wasn't as hard as I thought thanks to Jo who kindly came with me and spotted the perfect tile as soon as she walked in! Thanks Jo! Here is a picture of my new tile on the left, old tile on the right, and embossed one in the middle. The colour of the new one I think actually matches better to the embossed tile, and is $15 per m2 cheaper, how good is that? The only negative is that the texture is not as nice as the original tile, but I'm okay with that! Thanks everyone for understanding my mini-crisis, and petal I am very glad it wasn't my embossed one, not sure how I would have handled that LOL!!

Why do builders make us choose tiles so early in the piece, when in all likelihood they will be discontinued by the time they're needed
Feel for you donuts ! EDIT : Yay, you found a replacement Great news ! Re: My tiles have been discontinued 16Oct 27, 2008 4:19 pm Weird... in the photo it looks like the old one matches better. But in real life.... the embossed tile picks up the secondary colour through the new tile.
And the one on the right looks much busier in person. Amazing how much photos change things. I'll keep that in mind when others post their photos. Tiles are really hard I think... But they all look fantastic with the glass mosaiacs. You do realise you now have to help me with my tiles..... and carpet... and kitchen and.... and.... and Jo I leave you to fend for yourself, figure things out yourself. Terrence Malick Re: My tiles have been discontinued 17Oct 28, 2008 1:41 pm Yay, donuts - a happy ending! And, Jo - bring it on, very excited to see what you're thinking of for the new place, and I'm sure donuts will be happy to advise!!!!

I'm with Petal its a good happy ending.....very nice tile and without the other one next to it....you would hardly notice form the photos. Jo you know when Donuts isn't available we will all be happy to advise on all things building. I know I love putting my 2 cents in.......maybe some of its not even worth 2 cents but I put it in anyway. Re: My tiles have been discontinued 19Oct 28, 2008 4:16 pm I told you, you would find one!
