Hi and welcome....you could only line 2 walls because of the tile sizes....

Not necessarily, you will have an extra grout line on 2 walls so each joint will be the width of that joint out of line every tile. Hope that makes sense.

 

[montessa]

yes am with you on that so would you just line the 2 walls and stagger the other2

 

[montessa]

ok so what walls would you try and lie up.....just the 2 walls and stagger the other2???

Are you doing brickbond or just a straight forward lay....

 

[montessa]

tiling straight stack not brickbond

 

[montessa]

yes straight lay

I would go with a 600 x 600 on the floor.....bob is your mums brother!!

 

[montessa]

already have 300x600s customer paid a fortune.....so do you tile floor 1st if am lining up 2 walls

it always helps to tile the floor first, or you can set the walls up and hope the floor matches the walls

I would chase the grout line from the floor as you enter the room then work out from there.

I would tile the floor first much easier this way! really hard to tile the wall first and get the grout lines to match up spot on!
