Tile behind or around furniture

[markaimee]

Hi a bit of advice please. Refurbishing my bathroom, ripped it all out, new plaster boards ect... going to fit new furniture, which will run length of one wall. vanity unit, toilet unit and storage unit. Should i tile walls before fitting furniture or tile around the units fitting them first, also same question for floor, tile first or tile up to the units. Any suggestions please newbie! Cheers

Does the vanity unit have a back in it ?
It doesnt really matter but if the units have backs in then i would install the carcasses and then tile. Leaving the tops and fronts until last.

units are all pre assembled, with backs on. cheers

I fit the units first then tile to them

I fit the units first then tile to them

out of curiousity would it be easier to tile ' to just behind the units ' ( so you dont waste tiles ) and then fit the units rather than having to cut to the units 🙂

 

[mikethetile]

yes you can do that if you wanted

Does the unit stand on legs and opened bottomed or does it have a plinth and closed off bottom.?

Tile behind then in years to come if you want to change the unit...you wont be on here looking for discontinued tiles.

It has plinth at the bottom, is there an answer out there re tiling the floor up to or under units. Thanks

The choice is yours, either way is fine.
