floor tiles

I don't think they are a very good match do you? [/img]

 

Hi Celia , we tried taking them up carefully but they just broke away , we`re not to bothered about the back of the units , dining room side , we can put something else there , its the kitchen side we want right . Will check back later to see photo , thanks

 

we crossed there , no dont think there the same , but thanks anyway , people are so helpful on here

 

dq, i do hope you get something sorted. It will be such a shame to have to take those up.

One thing i was interested about that you didn't seem to answer (i may well have missed it) was about the 'kick boards'. It looks to me like you have one of those free standing kitchens, is that right?

Keep on asking dq, you never know what people may have lying around or will have seen it somewhere. Know it must be a pain though, cos you just want it finished don't you? Good luck.

cheers

 

Hi borrowers, yes we`re having kickboards fitted .Stupid thing is we planned the kitchen around the flooring choosing cream because it went with the terracotta :rolleyes: .Looks like we`re heading down the vinyl road ,thats if cushion flooring is thick enough to cover over the grouting

 

Just how many tiles are you looking for? e have some old ones in the garage - not sure about number (dimensions would also help)

 

hi chobart , probably looking for at least 6 to 8 tiles , they`re 12inches square or just over

 

Hello again DQ thought I would never get back on here - note you have also had problems. Tiles are in the garage and I shall let you know the size tomorrow

 

sorrry about this DQ but although I have plenty of tiles of the right vintage and unused they are all 9 inches square...........hope you find the right ones.

 

If you haven't already - you could also try your local freecycle group - http://www.freecycle.org/ - it's best if you can find something to offer before you post a want.
Also maybe try junkk.com, don't know how established they are yet but they were starting a freecycle-style exchanges board I think.
Good luck, that must be awfully annoying. I had the opposite problem with my kitchen in a way, it turned out to be slightly smaller than the builder said it was going to be so I had to modify the design a little - but you always do work round things in the end.
It seems an awful pity to cover up or remove those nice tiles but I guess you've got to do what you've got to do - unless you can use totally different tiles and make it look like that was what you meant to do all along, as someone suggested a page back or so? Kind of a mosaic maybe?

 

Look very similar to my kitchen tiles, did you get them from B&Q about 8yrs ago?

 

Hi all , got them from trago mills T.O . We managed to sort it in the end , hubby managed to get the tiles up off the patio sill without braking them and patched them in and you would`nt even notice , he`ll put wood on the sill , i may even post some pictures when we`re finished in a couple of weeks if i ever get used to this new thingy on here . Spose its all different posting pictures on here now , tried to get my avator back with no luck , but i will try again when i have time

 

Hi dq, so glad you managed to get sorted. I've been watching this thread to see what happened.

You definately have to post some pics of your finished kitchen now, after all we saw the before now we want the after.

I think a few of us are having problems one way or another with the new forum. The thing is to tell WM about them & hopefully will get sorted.

cheers
