Testing time for tiles

[MortarThePoint]

Just bought my tiles way ahead of when I'll be ready for them (still first fixing). They were a lot cheaper than I expected, but we preferred their look to the other options and the wife is happy. I subjected the sample to some abuse slapping it onto and pressing/rubbing it on a large heap of granite Type-1 MOT. Wiped with a damp cloth and then looked fine, I was impressed. You can see slight scratches remaining in the glancing light, but the wood grain effect helps hide it. Can't think of anything else to do with them as chiselling with the screwdriver did nothing.
