Topps Tiles vs tiles from Wickes

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

  I hope you are well.

This thread is only to make some of you aware about the differences in tiles. Both are 9.5mm thick tiles.

Even that those tiles I bought from Topps Tiles are more expensive (30% more expensive) I think they are worse overall comparing to the ones I got from Wickes.
I can sense that these Topps Tiles tiles made in India are more fragile. Secondly the back of the tiles is pretty much flat providing no key for the adhesive while tiles from Wickes (made in Vietnam) have a very coarse pattern that provides an excellent grip.

Your comparing the real bottom end of the tile market If they are going on walls durability doesn’t really matter that much It’s worth looking in Rocia and Al Murad at dnd of lines 

Wickes tend to be end of lines I’ve seen good quality Italian tiles in there In limited quantities 

Topps are like used car salesmen
