as you say it won't work out perfectly the vertical grout lines will be out slightly and pushing out more towars the corners,why don't you start with having the 200 x 100 mm tiles upright
or as my previous post
100 x100's
then 200 x 100's
then 100 x100 s from then on
if the 200's are a different colour it will give a feature effect

Thanks, that sounds easier to me. I will run it past the designer (wife). The brick tiles are a different colour so would look good as you say.

Steve if all tiles went as good as your image then we would all have an easier life :lol:

However if there are small variations in size then the grout lines will vary as you progress, you will have to get your brickbond on and then position the smaller tiles as best as you can. You could always opt for a diamond pattern on top of the brickbond, cut the smaller ones in half, fix and then tile away.
If you got yourself a border tile then that would eliminate a lot of problems for you.

the first and third row of tiles will be 100 x 100mm's so line them up and it will be fine

try 2mm spacing on the bottom rows and half it to 1mm on the top, should work ?

1mm on a plasterboard wall?:lol:

David, the wall is only 4m long, there would be no problem with a 1mm spacer on the top row
