"Giant glazed glossy super white" is what is on the invoice. 

Purchased from Spazio Casa 

Tile dimensions: 
• 900mm x 450mm x 12mm 
• 8.75kg per tile (210kg total) 

Each box contains 4 tiles, and there are 6 boxes. That means there is 9.72m2 of brand new tiles. 

Brand new they were $55 per square-metre. So these were $534.60 + GST. 

Additionally, there are two piles of offcuts you're welcome to (see photos below). 

My parents have just finished renovating their bathrooms with these tiles. The tiles are now surplus to requirements.

OT but I would very strongly suggest they keep a box of them as spares. We have a fully tiled bathroom and were very glad to have some spare tiles when we had a water leak in the walls. It can be very hard to find tiles that are exactly the same as what you have.

Thanks for your post. They're now going to keep them all just in case. I figure the offcuts will be destined for the bin, so if anyone wants them, let me know. Will have to double check they're not intending to hoard them as well though.

No worries. Realistically you only have to break 3 or 4 tiles at most if you have a leak but it takes a problem to a disaster if you have to retile the whole bathroom.
