Calling all tilers, DIY enthusiasts and general hoarders. Looking for non-slip outdoor tiles in whites, beige, greige and light colour ways and happy taking damaged
/ broken and random quantities!

Have a project coming up (see pic for idea and attention!) that I’m keen to give a bash whilst saving some more stuff from going to landfill - the cheaper or free-er the better but totally open to a haggle and some $! I know we for one have a box or so left over from a backsplash as recommendation is to buy for wastage lest any break, so hoping for some luck!
