Good point. I just assumed the sales guy meant the tile was ultra-modern itself, rather than the look of the house itself. Ultra-modern wasn't my first thought when I saw the tile. My first thought was "It won't show dirt easily!!!" My second thought was "And it's not super glossy, yes!" I do agree that's it's probably not traditional porcelain tile, but it's certainly not crazy "out-there" either. Michelle Yes I agree with Kyton. If you like it, use it. Thank you. I think we will. Feel better now deb17 I like them allot. We have a grey tile right through and charcoal in the bathrooms, wc. That tile is gorgeous and you will not see all of the footprints on it. When people come in and take their shoes off, some of them leave footprints on the floor, drives me crazy. Good point. I also like it because mop marks won't show up either. A friend has polished porcelain tiles and she hates them now because they show every sweep/mop mark. I think the polished tiles still look great, but I figured I should learn from her experience because I know the mop mark thing would grate on me too after a while. 2010, June : Land bought (1700sqm, battleaxe block).
