    Ditra direction? Parallel to short or long edge?

    i have a room to tile that is 3.1m by 10m and I wonder if there is any problem with running the ditra parallel to the short edge so as to avoid a thin 0.1m strip? The tiles will be porcelain 1200x600 laid 1/4 offset but parallel to the long edge of the room.

    Sigma Jolly edge anyone have one?

    I was just wondering if anyone has the sigma jolly edge, or used one? I brought one around a year ago. It worked very well for about 7 mitres on a 60/60 porcelain tile. All of a sudden it started to run off the mitre edge leaving it thick. I’ve read the set up instructions and have it set...

    Gap between Tiles and the edge of the room

    Hi I have had some tiling done in my kitchen and I would like some advice. A tile laser level wasn't used, meaning where the tiles meet the edge of the room, there is a gap. I think this will look stupid. The guy doing the work has suggested chiselling into the plaster and using a finely cut...
