All of these images contain closers, just for Andy
@Localtiler 🙂
Well, the ones I could be bothered to find anyway.


Every tile under the window.

Wouldn't know Ray, never had to go myself! 😀

 

[Spare Tool]

[Bill]

^^^^ That's cheating! How are you meant to find the closing cuts in that

I've done a few, normally when I've dropped a bo*****! When working in a customers house, do you mention it to the customer or just get on with it?

Sometimes an artistic licence is required to achieve the result you need. 🙂
Just because a tile is made a certain size, don't mean you can't get creative.

I've never used one, but I have a job starting Friday with a full bathroom in 900x150 planks, prime for a closer surely!
Marc, how am I supposed to see one in them pics of yours when I can't see any bloody joints!

My point exactly! Haha
Slight of hand Andy, it's what makes our job interesting 🙂
For example, third image down.
I had to achieve a joint centre of lift doors. (Right hand side out of sight) but I also had the landing to contend with, and they were pretty much fixed in how they were to be done. So if you look bottom centre of pic and enlarge, you can see 2 joints going across the floor. And that certainly isn't a full tile.
But the veins appear to work. Look bottom dead centre again and you'll see them join across the joint. But it was not the true pattern and it was fabricated to look right. Doesn't always work obviously, but if you persevere, you can fool the eye enough.

Yes I can see it, but it's certainly very different with those tiles as you can barely see any joints and you just look at the pattern.

Yeah must admit, they're easier to hide in some respects. But the joints are more visible in real life.
But my first image, if I'd centred the window with full size pieces, I'd of had 25mm cuts every other course. So I reduced them all to fit the window opening. And even though there are full size pieces on side walls, you can't tell they're smaller.

some incredible work mark
but some strange patterns like the two bats infront of the black door or the viking in the bed 5 th down

Cheers Ray. 😉
