multiple rooms

[andy-p]

Wasnt on abou keeping square was on about rooms looking out of wack.

If you tile your kitchen and have to follow into a living room due to room shapes and wall angle you can generally only get one room looking bang on.

Beginning in the kitchen you should work off your eye line which is generally the plinth oposite the door, this can go in fine but that line may leave you with a narrow or angular cut in the lounge ye. Breaking your threasholds allows you to set each room so they all look as they should..............

I wasnt replyin to your post as i agree breaking up rooms can be the better option but if you have to keep the tiles running through the laser square is the biscuit..

Been doing it for years Doug and as we work with stone it can look pucka...........


Used same principle here where we had varying floor levels. Focal point will always take the eye off the ball..............

This is all about selling yourself & suggesting ideas to customer ( that they might not have thought about )
Make them think it was their idea, & a fantastic design ! Something different.
They have no need to know that breaking up rooms will make your life easier

Hey guys and gals ,
Had a word with customer today. Looks like it was a local building contract done through a holdings agency .
Thanks for all your input, will post again tommorrow when I find out more.
Looked into un coupling mats and they actually look very simple in design and easy to implement.

When faced with large inter room fixes one of you main problems can be marking out. That is you can mark out 1 room and it looks good but when following your lines other rooms can look out of wack.

As has been said an expansion at threshold can help in situations but often looks out of place .

We got into the practice of breaking large fixes at thresholds which allows each room to be treated seperately while including a feature.....

May be worth a thought............

I have done this before and it allows you to treat each room individually, thus they all look well set out
