Hi Jay
I dont think they are porcilin and they are very hard to cut.

hi simmer porc is one of the hardest to cut check the box or supplier do the tiles obsorb water (go darker when wet) and what grout are you using
it may be transit wax causing you probs

Thanks Jay, The tiles definately go darker when wet. No info on box. I am using slate and quarry grout.

hi simmer sounds like they need sealing first before grouting you need to know what they are also try running a wet sponge over tiles first before grouting to try and reduce suction (an impregnator sealer doesnt change the apearance of tiles )hope this helps
