Newbies - Envelope cutting to a fall

[Leatherface]

Just wondered if any of the new tilers out there needed any advice about envelope cutting to a fall ?
Sure many of the experienced tilers out there would be willing to help and advise.
Not hard when you know how

Here are a couple I did a while ago.
Yes the black ones have not been cleaned properly yet.
No I did not set it out off square by mistake as the tiles went into the main bathnroom and my set out was dictated by the other walls and doorway ( just in case anyone wanted to mention :yes
Regards

On the black 1 nick......why the closure tile..?...

was due to fall on tray after tiles had been put over UFH on tray, steeper than normal. To put a full ( uncut tile ) there ( instead of a join ) would have increased the bedding up height on the tiles in the main bathroom, the customer wanted the tiles in the main bathroom to end up flush with their wood floor ( in the adjoining corridor, outside the bathroom door )
Hope i am making sense

TO ADD :
The closure line was where the wedi wet tray joined with the main floor

Well spotted Dave. I missed it. Know what you mean now by closure tile. Nice work.

Sorry for being thick, what do you mean by the closure tile? Are you referring to the row of narrow tiles between the former and the floor?

Yes mate

Here's one for a rectangular former, square Tilux former with equal amounts cut off each side.

I think Leatherface's job is better IMO, mind you I can see why my customer wanted black grout. These tiles are B&Q, about £6.98 per 6 IIRC. These were all over the floor. I laid 27 of the buggers and had to cut all but 8 of them!

Nice one cornish !

New one on me to CC as well as the term, 'Envelope Cutting to a fall ' even though I've done one myself.
