Flaviker granite porcelain tiles: difference between store and online

2 years ago

Has anyone used Flaviker granite porcelain? We noticed a huge discrepancy between a showroom sample and the photos shown on the website of the manufacturer (same color).

Is it common for batches of granite porcelain to be dramatically different? Has anyone experienced a problem where their granite porcelain delivery was much different from the sample they ordered?

Please describe the differences you are seeing.

Pictures may be lit differently than what you are seeing in person, which can change the overall color.

Samples may have acquired patina from being handled (that's a nice way of saying dirt/oil coating, or other use/abuse from other customers "testing" the sample).

Natural stone has a ton of variation. Perhaps fake stone is trying really hard to look natural. Plus, standard dye lot varations. Don't you have samples?
