Setting Out

[bluevin123]

Hi,
Finally got all the old tiles up and rubish up, have just plyed the floor and put a primer down..My question is ,I have 400mx400m tiles to lay on the bathroom floor,Do I start in the centre of the room ,centre of tile and work off of that as this would leave decent size cuts on the edges...if so the toilet and pedestal will be a bit off line,but do you think that matters? I think it will look ok,you do not have to have it coming out of the centre of the toilet,,do you???

better to even the cuts up around the room than to go for toilet centre..........dave..

I agree, as long as you are not having to cut the toilet into one tile that is. Could prove difficult!!

you can set it out so that the toilet and sink pedestal are quartered by four tiles, i.e. you have have four tiles meeting where the toilet is.

Thats great as long as you are not sacrificing good cuts elsewhere.
