So, where do YOU start?

Just finished doing a granite skirting y'day. No wall tiles though

Batterns for me. Though I still get the odd customer say "oh I didn't realise we were having that around the room?" or "oh we wanted the tiles to go from floor to ceiling?"

That happened to me on Wednesday ! :mad2:

Sometimes you need to batten twice

Been tiling for 20 years now.....never seen anyone using their spirit level as a batten.But what a great idea.

Really ???

Really ???

Why not...as long as youve got another to use and its the right length. Very green as well just wipe it off and re-use

I meant its the first time you have seen it ?

Doh!I lead a very shelterred life. Battens for me by the way maybe not on a short run above a bath or shower tray.

I use battens, but if the floors already tiled then I'll start with the bottom row first!

Use levels with rubi baton stands but mainly I use inch ovals to hold each tile up then you can cut bottom row in leaving nails as spacers
