[QUOTE=Jeckle;808507]Hmm, if your trying to match existing tiles, fair enough, if not, don't poo poo the idea because something from the 80s, ie vinal is still the same. The product is glued direct to the slab, do no drumming or hollow sound from floating timber floors.

We had a slow combustion fire installed on top of it. Moved furniture on it with no scratches or scuffs to be seen.

No grout gaps, and each plank is about 1m long and 150mm wide. Easy to replace if one is damaged.

We also had a 2m diameter 16 point star with 4 different timber looks, laser cut, in the entry, something you couldn't do in tiles.

We did look at what was available in timber look floor tiles for our new home. After having tiles in the passages of our old home, the vinal planks were more realistic, harder wearing thinner, cheaper and easier to fit, many more options for looks, no grout gaps.

We also had a games room that had vinal look timber parketry floor, and it looked very 80s and cheap in the old house. This new stuff should cost just below ceramics, its that good.

And yes it does have a textured feel that tiles have and lino doesn't.

i have floating jarrah floorboards throughout the house the noise dosent bother me. ha

i was orignally thinking about keeping the jarrah floor in the bathroom probaly should have done that and just varnished the fk out of it. Then made a separate tiled area for the shower..

In any case the screed has been put down for the floor so tiles it is.

I cant seem to find what im looking for so now have to go with a different tile design.

ps none of those tiles shops had anything close to jarrah..

check with the 70s.

go for something contrasting imho, woodgrain ceramics will look mismatched butting upto real wooden floor boards

on a side note, i went to that tile factory to try to get some 400X400 white porcelain marble patterned floor tiles to match the existing ones in my circa 1997 built house... "oh we are not upto catalogging the large format square tiles, come back in a couple of years" i laughed, then realised he was fekkin serious :confused:

Kunts!!

In going with a grey tile now to match my stone top. White wall tiles ha

Tiler ain't gonna like it

have you tried ceramic tile supplies in Wangarra?

My good mate owns Tiles 88 in Osi Park. I went in and he showed me a new range of wood look tiles they just got in. Can't remember what colours they had but worth a try. His name is Anthony. [url]http://www.tiles88.com.au[/url]
