Set Out Thoughts- again!

[kaharrison9]

Good Evening All.

Firstly apologies for the quality of the pics and for some crazy reason I initially posted this in For Sale and Wanted.

I have 2 set out options on the 3 bi folding doors.

1 - Centre wall to wall and it centres on the 3 bi folding doors but bare in mind to the side of the 5 bi folding doors the wall is 1m long so you do not really notice you have balanced between the walls.

2 - Centre between the wall and the 5 door bi folding this does off centre on the 3 door but with the 5 bi door been 5.5m long it does give an illusion that the floor is equally centred as the 5 door gives the impression it is the wall.

The entrance door is in a corner facing the 3 door.

Tile size 600x600 straight format.

The bi doors look into the garden.

Opposite the 3 door is to be a huge wall hung TV so there will be a sofa in the centre.

Hopes this makes sense.

Cheers.

Kevin

Why are you putting the same up post up again...

 

[Spud]

Kev I think you have to centre the 2 bi folds mate

 

[kaharrison9]

Yes I'm edging towards that but in a bare room that leaves a 38cm wall cut and on the 5 door a 53cm cut so feels unbalanced.

Once with furniture may not be as apparent, its a true 6 of one half a dozen of the other.

Cheers though Gary.

Reason Whitebeam is foolishly I first put it For Sale/Wanted then rewrote in the correct place but for some reason on my computer that was not showing so then re submitted.

Have you any thought on my dilemma Whitebeam ?

to me you need to look were the focal point of the room is . to me its the center of the 5 bifold doors. dry lay a few from there and see what your cuts are, what is the floor is it a anhidrite it looks abit white

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

weres the point of entry when you first walk in to the room as they are going to be the points your eyes follow and what windows line up with them thats were i would work from

,centre the 5 bi folds kevin, that's what I'd do,your making problems what ain't there to me, just throw em down, grout em and move on

 

[Andy Allen]

I would ask the client how they want it done...
That way you get paid without any hassle. .

The 5 doors happen to set out centred and gives equal cuts.

The dilemma is the 3 bi door as when I centre between the 3 doors I get equal cuts on the left and right wall. The problem is there is only 1.5m of the right wall as the 5 bi doors take up virtually the whole length but there recessed by 150mm.

so centre on the 3 doors gives 38cm on the left wall but a 54 cm cut on the recessed 5 door creating a off centre illusion.

^ then centre the 5 bi folds kevin ,no way of winning ,you have to go with what looks best .
You could ask the client , but I always,ALWAYS Get ' well your the tiler ' [emoji15] "well actually mate, I'm a plasterer [emoji8]"

 

[pete f]

you cant have it perfect when its like that centre the 5 bi folds that seems best and talk to to customer tell them your dilemma they'll probably say yes that's ok ...........

 

[swanman]

Its not rocket science
put a few on the floor if it looks right ,then just tile it.
I would of finished the floor by now
And moved on.

 

[andyb1]

As above.

 

[kaharrison9]

There were 2 ways to set this out.

Decision already made and floor well under way.

Always worth throwing pics and dilemma's onto the forum to try keep things variable and interesting.
