Can Anyone Help Get Me Started With Setting Out For Half-bond?

Haha you don't need to convince me Craig, I can't stand brick bond!
Random broken is about as much as I can stand! Haha

What I do when half bond leaves small cuts is to move you're centre line or setting out point left or right a quarter the length of the tile. This will leave you with the same size cuts each side but on alternate rows. When you stand back and look at it it still looks right because you're eyes take in the symmetry of the cuts not which row they're on.

Much like anything, trends change.

5 years ago it was neutral colours, creams, beige, brick bonded with mosaic borders.

Demands these days seem to be more clinical. White is back in fashion, certainly now more people are aware that there's more options on grout colours. Various grey grouts, stacked bond and feature mosaics rather than borders.

Spot on @JulianSidney!
Sick to back teeth of half bond yaaaaaaaawn!
Random is good!
As far as closers are concerned, before I go into the complications of it, take one tile and cut 10mm from the short edge.
Effectively making them 390mm long.
Then file it sand it, whatever u need to do to make your cut edge look like a factory finish.
If you can be bothered to do that, I will go into the long winded method of closers! That fair enough? 🙂

Thanks for the offer, sounds interesting, but on this occasion I will pass. Only up for bownie points so not sure it deserves the trouble... but thanks anyway. I have moved the centre line over 1/4 tile and it doesn't look to bad and it made it work better in the corners.
