I would center the room out myself. I have never come across a floor that has been properly fixed by a pro carpenter :lol:

If you lay from the centre you will have mirrored cuts both sides of the room and probably 2 cuts from one tile...I don't start from a full tile unless the walls are dead square..some chance.

i'd say it would work using a full tile against the shower tray as that should be bang on straight, as for front to back, that's personal choice, i'd probably centre it as the back wall and the doorway will probably not be square to the tray

I usally come a full tile from the threshold and centre across the way sorry for not stating in my previous post.
Just doesnt look right to me if its not a full tile or there abouts from the threshold.

Just click on the picture above, That will move you on the flickr site, Than you can see the picture in the full size 3000x4000px.

9mm ply fixed with 3 inch screws, gap around the perimeter is around 5-10mm, you can see it next to shower tray, the rest is under skirtings.

So true...

Thank for opinions guys,
So I will centre whole floor to get mirrored cuts both sides of the room like whitebeam said

Could be a bit of an overkill...BS states 15mm ply..

As above, just be aware that 9mm is not recommended for boarding floors.

i think the pro carpenter should have known how to board a floor better than to leave a joint in the middle and a crappy piece in the doorway

:lol: not beating around the bush then Barry?

beware of the 9mm ply gonna be too much flex in the floor. I always use 18mm wbp screwed at 300 centres then cover with 5.5mm wbp screwed at 15mm centres.
