So I am putting these cheap tiles down in my kitchen.
It is very clear why they are so cheap. There is no quality control.
One box will be all garbage and others 9 out of 10 seem good.
I have more time than money right now.
So I will just buy all they have at blue box and do quality control myself.
So far I have sorted 10 boxes and have 7 boxes of tiles that have no obvious flaws to my untrained eye.
My test has been to check edge to make sure they are not split and separate.
Check the corners to make sure they don't just break off when I put pressure on them.
I have tried to avoid anything too thin, but there are some with rust pox that I am not sure about.
A rust coloration looks good, but some of these have a rust layer under the top layer that I am wary of.
Here are a few pics of the common conditions I would like advice on.
