sizing for stud work

[george792]

Hi all not had alot on today and been having a good nosey around the forum at some work (very impressed) was wondering when you build stud work, partitions, shelves, walk in shower curves ect, How do you size the wall ect for tiles to fit do you have a set size i.e thickness so that you know a tile, mosiac, bead will fit or do you make sure you have the tiles first so you know how thick to build them hope this makes sense.

Set the tiles out to get your best cuts after your've fixed your boards

hi mate

were possible, you would design/measure the shelving, partitioning etc to fit in with you tiling design and sizing considerations. just takes a bit of though, planning etc

hope this helps mate

ditto the above

if you set out your tiling properly you can accomodate almost any room structures and sizes

cheers for quick reply whitebeam, I would normally leave it to wait and get best cuts but upon looking today noticed alot of the lads work was perfectly sized to fit say three full mosiacs with top and bottom edging fitting perfect.
