Hi can anyone identify these floor tiles? We badly need to match them...have tried various tile matching services and no joy. Tiles are 45cm W / 68cm L. Any thoughts much appreciated.

I have approx. 50 sq m of floor tiling with no skirting, approx. 25-30 linear metres. This is ground floor including a WC and utility but not bathroom type wet environments, although she does like to mop the floors a lot. Sticking stuff to a wall whilst still being supported by the floor seems like something that just might be within my skill set but I have a few questions. 1) These are 600x600 9mm thick, concrete grey, porcelain tiles, am I likely to be able to a good enough cut edge to just cut the tiles into strips to use or should I only use the existing 4 finished edges? 2) I was thinking of using 100mm high. Sound right? 3) I’m going to need a cutter for these and as I have no other tiling to do, hiring may be more cost effective. What is a recommended cutter for large format tiles to get a good edge along the complete length every time? Butts not mitres at corners. 4) What’s the preferred technique? Just butter them and stick them on? Will use a reputable ready mix for this to save me the hassle of mixing on the job. I think I’ll need a 15-20mm depth in some spots so may need to use a bit more adhesive to fully fill the gap and paint the tops. I would use tile spacers under the strips and between them. I would try to match up with the floor grout lines even though that will be more work. 5) Grout or sealant in the gap between floor and upstand? I was going to grout.

Help needed please. We are about to order electric UFH mats for bathrooms. We need some insulation boards to go under the electric mat. Do we put the insulation boards and/ or the tiles under the bath? (a back to wall bath, no panel - it’s all one unit so sort of free standing). The basin and toilet are wall hung so the boards will go under those. Sorry, prob a daft question ?
