3 sized tiles!

[tfs]

Sometimes, even tiles that are sold as modular dont go together very well without having to fix by eye (without equal spacing) for example if the tile are spot on 60x60 then the 30x60 and 30x30 will be wider than the 60x60 tiles by the time you fix them with grout gaps.

Have a good look at them before purchase and fitting, it would be ideal if the 60x60 tiles were spot on and the 30x60 and 30x30 where 29.7x59.7 and 29.7 x29.7 this would leave you with a few mm to play with for spacing.

As someone mentioned dry lay a few on the shop floor to see how they look.

Hi Tactile

I had the same prob a while ago the tile shop gave me some patterns but thought they all looked wrong. So I had a little play and this was the pattern I came up with. I know the tiles are smaller but the principle is the same. Hope this helps

That is usually the pattern for 3 tiles..that interlock size wise.. but you can do random but watch for using to much of one size incase you run out.

when it comes to ordering I use the following formula

e.g. based 3 size design as shown in the above pic

add up you area for the chosen design you have made

300x300 = A (.09 sqm)
300x600 = B (.18SQM)
600X600 = C (.36sqm)

total area for that = A+B+C = .63SQM

DIVIDE YOU SQ METERAGE BY .63

E.G. 10sqm floor = 10 / .63 = 15.873 (16)

so you will need around 16 of each piece

Add on 10 to 15 % as a contingency

with random patern you would use the formula the guy at the shop gave you e.g.
based on 10sqm

60 x60 = 12 tiles (40%ish)
30 x 60 = 17 tiles (20%ish)
30 x 30 = 34 tiles (20%ish)
