Discuss Small floor large tile layout question in the America Tile Forum / Advice Board area at TilersForums.com.

Hi guys, im doing a small downstairs cloakroom with 600 x 600 terrazzo tiles. I cant decide on the layout. The width is just under 1.1m so i can either go 1 grout line up the middle with small cuts on 1 side of each tile or 1 full tile up the middle with a cut tile on each side. Has anyone done a small.area like that with a large tile that could advise what looks best. I'm not a tiler so I dont have much experience.

I have attached a sketch for reference

Thanks

I have provided 4 different symmetrical options bases on your drawing (estimating dimensions of walls). If you go for non-symmetrical then the options are limitless. It is important to position a full-ish tile at the doorway/entrance....
I know this is a very simple room layout but if you was interested you could investigate (for FREE) the different layout options in a few seconds using ProtoTILER.
Thanks for the detailed response!
The room is approx 1.1 in width and 1.53 in length. I suppose the layout I went with was going to determine my method of cut. If it was your image 2 I would scribe and grind the slim cut. If I went with image 3 I would use the sigma .
I still get really nervous slim cutting 600's so I tend to play it safe and grind. Because they are terrazzo I would prefer a more seamless look I think but like to hear a professional opinion.
