I always try to not do that I think it looks bad. So then you would have not had your window symetrical. Most important thing for me to be honest. Nice full tile wrap around as well into that far left. I'm happy with ti and you can't go back once you start. Have to make that decision and go with it and couldn't wait any longer standing with my brew chosing which one to go with haha. Cheers for opinion tho

Tried that and it had a bad cut far right. I did try every other way lol. I even tried horizontal and rang customer but she wanted the vertical. It was extra work splitting the tiles on the left but either way it doesn't look bad IMO. Seen other jobs off others and they wouldn't have split that line and just crossed over on the joint above and below making it look awful.

You really couldn't tho. If you scale it to your screen size you will see it would have looked terrible on the far right. Didn't take long to do that window anyway, the window being that close to the wall is never a good help to be honest. Old house though off centre window. Next time I will move the window :thumbsup:

I can understand why you have laid out that way. Often a compromise somewhere on layout with some jobs
I can see that also if it had left an even thinner cut at the end of the right of the window wall. But what sticks out to me more is the thin cut on the end of the adjoining wall on the left. Just makes that whole corner look to busy to my untrained eye.

Fair enough, it really was a pain to work out tho, size of the tiles wasn't on my side I'm afraid. I understand what you are saying but it is what it is, any other way left even worse cuts on the left and far right (focal point).... If I wasn't a tiler I wouldn't even notice, but wanted that window symetirical left to right so went with this one.

He is one I did the other week. Absolute nightmare of a job, around 500 tiles :mad2: but same kind of cut to get window and far right looking symetrical. similar.jpg
