Lining Up Walls And Floors

[peteablard]

The floor, not the entire room.

Yes but as you stated in another post having a full tile in the door way often causes small cuts on the wall (If the tiles are the same size and you wanted to follow the joint through) Therefore it compromises the setting out of the whole room.
Personally if floor and wall tiles are the same size then I would centre the floor with even cuts at all sides which then can be nicely continued up the wall.
If the window is a main focal point then I might centre the tiles off that which would then mean different size cuts at each wall. The floor would then have different size cuts at each end as I would follow it through

Let's be right, every job is different and there is no real certain rule. A lot of matching tile jobs I do are wet rooms which I like the joints to run through the centre of the trap in both directions.

Agreed!

As has been said many times before, no 2 jobs are the same!

Don't tell me how to approach a job. Nobody wants a cut tile in the doorway into there bathroom

really?

I agree! Lining up the floor with the main wall, is great, and normally no compromise, but lining the floor up with all 4 walls normally ends up with the walls having very odd cuts at each end and not looking great

bloody rubbish, never had a problems lining up and look right everywhere

first choice, fit wet deck yourself, If not, you should tell that person, whoever that is, the position you want the drain to be.
if this can't be done then you have two real choices, set out with joints running though drain centre or full tile over drain, this could be moved around slightly to help with wall setting out.
as a last result the tiler could recommend mosaics on the deck and set out ignoring the deck and drain.

I stated this thread for topical conversation and thoughts, not to be told I'm in the wrong, and this is what I should do, and frowning on my opinions.

@local tiler ,
don't let it get to you mate ;0)

if you put something out there on a forum, its gonna go in 3 directions.
Praise, criticism or an alternative opinion.

my advice would be this,
1. don't get carried away with the compliments,
2. don't get pi55ed of with the criticism
3. be open minded to the alternative opinions

it'll all be history tomorrow ;0)
