Glass Tiles (look like bricks) for kitchen

    Used to see ones like that in the likes of B&Q and Homebase all the time.

    But they are expensive, as I was looking for 10 x 10 glass tiles for the kitchen and ended up buying mine from England.

    Thanks NIMAN. Perhaps you could tell me where you ended up buying them, and were you happy with the quality?

    Bit of a long story, but I bought some from a crowd called Acorn Tiles in England. They were 65p each instead of £2 each in B&Q, and since I needed over 300 of these I went for the cheaper ones.

    The tiles themselves look great, same quality, but only difference is they are thicker, 8mm v 6mm of the local ones. And then it was a bugger to get them cut. I have 3 or 4 guys try to cut them, including specialist glass companies, and they all found it hard to get a straight smooth edge. I currently have a 5th glass cutter in the process of trying to get it done regularly, as I do not want to start tiling to find that I can't get them cut to finish the corners etc.

    So at the minute I have over 300 tiles and not sure if I'm going to use them or not!!:eek:
