Antik Marmor Tiles

[Frederick]

Hi,

does anyone know where you can get Antik Marmor tiles in the format 10cm x 10cm x 1 cm like below, in the Split area ? We would really like to see them in real life before ordering and not just in a catalogue.



Cheers.

Dear Fred,

I'm pretty sure you will be able to get these from Jadrankamen on Brac www.jadrankamen.hr/index.php?lang=eng
I was trying to buy made to measure marble panels but was told it would not be possible for 5 months, but I was offered regular tiles like those above almost immediately. They certainly supply a similar type of marble (look at 'patterns' on their website). I would 'phone and see where their outlet is in Split and then go and have a look.

I ended up buying my marble locally in Italy and then driving a van across with it!
Our restoration is finished....but we're waiting for a new electricity connection before we can try anything out!!! It's been ordered since March. Any ideas how to push this along?

Hi,

thanks for the tip, I'll give it a try. I've just found the most marvelous shop in split:

As to your Elekto Dalmatcija (ED) problem, good luck ! We paid EUR 2500 last October to have our house hooked up and as yet nothing. We went to them and complained and eventually complained to the director, but nothing could be done apparently till October. We mentioned that name of our project manager, who it turned out was a friend of the director and 5 minutes later we were in a ED Land Rover and driven to our house with an engineer. All looked great till the engineer said that the installation was not up to scratch. We paid the engineer 1000 kuna to "supervise" our electrician and are hopefully getting connected next week. I think you will need to go to the director directly and use some social engineering skills. We though of making a small donation to the mayor for a plaque or statue or something to smooth the way.

Good luck.

put an ad in the "mali oglasnik slobodne dalmacija " under the section "gradevinski matrijal kupujem" ...... write this down in the ad....( kupujem stare, rabljene, mramorne plocice 10 × 10 cm and your phone number ) thats an ad for second hand tiles . or you can go for the fake new marble tiles by placing the ad ( kupujem nove, staro modne , mramorne plocice 10×10 cm and your tel number)
