Dealing with rubbish tiles

[postie]

Anyone got any tips on how to deal with over and undersized tiles with bows in them a bleeding nightmare or is there not much you can do about it.

Never used poor quality tiles like this, and I don't think I would do a job with such tiles.

As someone on here once said, Im a tiler, not a bloody magician.

sometimes with large format tiles if they are bowed, on the back of the tile there is an arrow so you can lay them all the same way,they are called directional, as regards to sizes just check the batch no. before you start if they are different get them changed, most manufacturers suffer with different sizes with each production run, only porcelanosa have any consistency that I have come across

use big grouting lines and adjust accordingly and if they dont look right BIN THEM,Not much else you can do.

in my experiance the only way you can lay tiles like this is to space them by eye youve
got no chance useing spacers

Whats the end finish going to look like though.

not very good, although we never used to use spacers on floors anyway, thats when you find out if you have a good eye

better than if u use spacers if u keep with a straight edge u cant go wrong its all down to
experiance
