I'm looking to tile a kitchen with brilliant white Quartz floor tiles. The better half likes the effect with the mirror flecks in them - it has to contrast a black granite worktop.

The problem is that the ones we keep finding all look too grey. The best ones i've found were in the departure lounge at Glasgow Airport boxedin

Ideally i'm looking for 600mmx600mm.

What can you find? And can anyone find them for less than £50 per sq m?

Dunno, but make sure you paint the ceiling a nice colour 'cos if you get any water on the floor you'll be looking at it!

Had to stop short at a granite sink because i'd get tired of breaking glasses all the time.

I saw some of these in B&Q just this morning.

It was only a quick glance but I'm 99.9% sure I saw white ones. (100% they had blue and black)
I think they were £135 for just over 2sq metres.

I cant find them online but I'm going in B&Q again tomorrow so can have a proper look if it helps?

They looked very nice. smile

Could always lay down some white floor tiles, lay a clear pu sealer over them and put some flake in it, then seal coat it in, but its getting it to look right usually need to get pros to do it, and usually expensive, probably not as expensive as what you want though

thanks for all the input so far... i remember seeing on Grand Designs some poured resin flooring - had nails and bits of bottle caps in it laugh but might do the same thing.

Just need to see if it's a concrete base or a wooden sub floor

Concrete makes it easier, can put a screed down, wood makes it more difficult as you will have to put down about 8mm flooring grade ply
