Left me wondering if this is why these Focus tiles are so cheap
though.


how cheap's cheap?


They cost me just under £7 per square metre. I think the wall and
floor ones were about the same price. Unlike a lot of the cheap ones
I've seen, the printing doesn't look really nasty close-up.


Focus website shows them £10 now, and out of stock...http://www.focusdiy.co.uk/dispatcher?search=memphis


Doesn't surprise me - our local Focus often sells things that were
discontinued 6 months ago at every other store!


Cheers,
David.


do they seem "dusty" on the rear (adhesive) side ? just wondering if
your adhesive is sticking to the dust rather than the tile??


A tiny bit, but I brushed most of it off, and they weren't "covered"
anyway. It could have been another factor, but the new adhesive
doesn't seem to mind!

Cheers,
David.
