porcelain tiling

[weesammy]

lookin some tips on layin 600x600 porcelain tiles.walls and floor to be tiled with grout lining up.is it better to lay floor 1st or both together.?any tips welcome:mad2:

I find it a lot easier to tile the floor first,then use 6' level and draw vertical lines up wall from floor joint!!

A lot of people will say lay the floor first(and are probably right),i personally do the walls first,after setting it all out correctly(obviously)

It can be done both ways.....just down to preference IMO....i do it both ways just depends on job really........

wall or floor, either way there'll be a compromise somewhere, just depends on what you consider your setting out priorities to be?

We did floors first..

Dont forget ur drill bits though...

I prefer doing the floor 1st but i would make sure the walls were set out at the same time.

I would set out both the walls and floor. The one that I would start on would depend on how the setting out worked and what type of tile I was using.

With 600 x 600 porcelain, I would be more inclined to start with the floor.

Walls 1st, saves me dropping anything on the new floor.
