Beware of cheap tiles from large DIY stores!

I have recently joined a tile forum (tilersforums.co.uk) and it makes for very interesting reading! This site is set up by people in the tile industry and contains a wealth of knowledge and experience. Its free to join too and any one can ask for tiling advice even if not connected to the industry. Following on from a customer comment regarding poor quality wall and floor tiles purchased from a large DIY chain I did a search on the forum on all the big DIY chains about the tiles they sell and the comments were not good. I suggest that if you are thinking about purchasing tiles please have a look on this forum before you part with your hard earned money as it very much appears that cheap tiles are cheap for a reason and cheap in quality resulting in a false economy. I would also be very wary of buying tile adhesive and grouts from these places too. Its all on this forum so have a look!
