I wouldnt use it again for such a living area, though i think it
is good for bathrooms, but, I dont think I would buy it again for
myself, as the Howdens equivalent is better quality, at roughly
the same price, and comes in one tile pieces, not the four of B+Q.
really easy to put down and cut around obstructions.


Is the Howden's product as waterproof as the TileLoc?


They advertise it as. AquaBlock is their name, they are thicker than
the B+Q ones, as well as being easier to put together.


I laid some AquaLock from B&Q this week, claimed to be suitable for
bathromms if joints were glued (right PITA if you have ever done it).
Warranty exclusions were legion & manyfold.

Another interesting warrenty exclusion was the placement of any item
of furniture over 115kg.


I doubt that would stand up unless it's qualified in some way. Is that
a single point load? All one one "plank"? Or what?


Dunno. It just said any item of furniture over 115kg should be laminated
around, leaving the appropriate expansion gap.

Half the instruction leaflet was warranty exclusion clauses.
