Tiles not aligning......

[Stevev]

I've laid about 3/4 of a 4m sqd floor and dry laid what's left but found tiles now not lining up.. There is a odd slope but now I have to accept tiles not lining up... Any advice or do some floor jus not work out ??

Assuming your spacers are all the same size, then it's either user error or sizey tiles. Some sizey tiles have to be laid by eye with very slight variation on grout joint width.

If it's user (fixer) error, then take it up and see if it sorts it 😀

There could be a number of reasons from :
1) inexperience
2) tile size variation
3) not working either side from a straight central datum line
4) not using a grid system
5) or from another of your post pictures and this one - your using the pegs at 2mm and 3mm widths on the same tile ie twisting it!
Hope that helps.

I'm using g vitrex 3mm spacers... They look pretty square but have noticed some variation. I just opened a new box of tiles no idea if there's a batch number. They're from Spain via an on line supplier

I always mix tiles from various boxes as I go and checked that the whole job lot is from the same batch no. before starting!

This is all I had to go on

As long as all the batches are the same calibre C2 you should be fine. They are a subsidiary of Pamesa so usually decent unless it is a seconds batch. Try tiling to a straight edge instead of spacers and adjust accordingly as you go?

Just a bit of tweaking as you fix the tiles will sort that out

Are the tiles all the same size? You should be checking alignment a bit more often and using wedges rather than spacers in the places you need a bit of adjustment.

Open a fresh box of tiles and lay them in a line to see if they are all same size.
