w7_lee 11 Report post Posted September 12, 2015 If you are talking about 'boxes of unused tiles', the contractor will return to the supplier & gets billed for the actual number used.Whether he pass it to you or not is a different question.Normally, the contractor will make an estimate of how much they will need and order it. There will be extra and the tile supplier will take back whatever is not used. Tiling is not so straight forward, sometimes the appearance of the grain, color tone, etc... may have too much different. So a good tiler will check this and shortlist (select) the tiles that he can use.Shibumi is also correct, the contractor will (should) arrange for you to keep a couple of pieces of each type of tile. In the event that you need to do some replacement in the far future, you have a couple of pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
