Setting Out Please help me set out

[Old Mod]

if I'm understanding you this should help

Not perfect but gives you even cuts at focal point, the window.

Once you apply tiles to left wall then the 210 will be reduced to approx 195 and be even closer to opposite side of window set out.

Whats the height of the bath?

And when you add reveal tiles it'll make the 160mm cut to about 173mm so then both sides of window will almost be centered.

Too late, right wall is tiled

Fantastic. That is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for your help, I'll upload some pictures once it's been done!

Thanks again to everyone else who has given me advice, never been on such a helpful forum!

Cheers

I have set out the height so that I have a full tile, (or close enough) above the bath which still leaves more than half a tile's width top and bottom. Something else I learnt from you guys

No problem, obviously starting bottom right corner, put whichever Cut comes closest to the one previously fixed on right wall, which when put together, equal A full tile.
So that it wraps in effect.

Ok thanks. I'm using a horizontal baton to support the first row of tiles, if I'm starting in the bottom right hand corner, how to I ensure the tiles are vertically level assuming the cuts aren't 100% straight?

Continue your baton around and follow on from tile that is already fixed.
So if there is almost a full tile into the corner already, start with the 185mm cut, if it's a small piece start with the 485mm. Aesthetically it'll look like you've wrapped the tile around the corner. Similarly the otherside when you tile the left wall.

Not to fear. I had every confidence in the chap taking that into account

Anyway, you know what I'm like when some has a setting out query and I have some form of CAD in front of me.

This is what I think basically @3_fall is getting at. In this picture, the dotted line is dead centre of the window. I started the first course below the window exactly 150mm to the right of that line. Although not 100% accurate in terms of making the correct size pieces of the wrap-around corners, it doesn't look out of place and eliminates eye catching slithers.

Grab a pencil, tape measure and spirit level and draw it on the walls before you begin just to make sure

That's it Paul, the fact that the wall isn't centred doesn't matter half as much if the focal point looks correct, where's @widler

Your eyes will always be drawn to the greatest source of light first! The window, if that looks right, the rest falls in.

Great advice guys. Well done.

I Still say the easiest solution though is a new woman!

Wow! I have to say, when I joined his forum I didn't even expect a reply let alone a CAD! I started tiling this afternoon and I'm pleased to say that so far, all has gone to plan as per the drawings you all very kindly provided.

That's not to say there won't be some hiccups along the way, I'm sure there will be, particularly around the window! So expect a couple more threads!

You guys are a credit to the forum, others could learn a thing or two from here, some of the replies I've seen on other forums are beyond belief!

Cheers
