these. i bought these for RM8-something-i-can't-remember. >500 pieces for my house.
niro granite, homogeneous 2'x2' tiles. second grade, supposedly for commercial project.

For indoor tiles, is better to use first grade especially China made. Their 2nd grade got all kind of pattern eg middle get pregnant, top and bottom measurement can off by 4-5mm, color difference.  You can use these on places like in the wet kitchen cabinet.

Some older tiles after keeping for many years the manufacturer will downdrage to grade 2 and sell, I know niro do that.

this. i was skeptical at first considering it's 2nd grade. heard quite a bit horror stories regarding 2nd grade tiles.
but the supplier is willing to guarantee them. even willing to cut his fingers if they're of bad quality. laugh.gif

so went home with 2 boxes, randomly picked. checked them at home for their cut precision, flatness, and surface imperfection. found none. so committed to buy 500 more.

probably downgraded to sell off remaining stocks. the model is not available anymore in their 2014 catalog.
well worst case (if they're of bad quality) i'll use them to line the outdoor courtyard, house apron and outdoor deck. cost me only RM4k-ish to buy them. if they're really really bad quality i'll just arrange them outside on the soil as a walkway laugh.gif

Its a free forum. Some will share, some will just brag, some just ask and leave. Let it be...

don't forget that the forum is also crawling with contractors/businessman looking for customers. some cut throat big sharks are also in here. laugh.gif
