All,
I have been planning out my tiling using a batten marked with the tile length and height (plus 3mm grout) and walking it up the wall to check positioning.
I have the usual various (annoyingly in the way) features around the room such as bath, shower tray and window ledges to take into consideration as well as a two recess built into a stud wall (above bath and in shower).
I have worked out that if I fix full tiles around the bath then everything else works around the room but I will have a strip of around 35-50mm of tile at the top (near ceiling). I don't think this would look to odd being at ceiling height. Anyone think different? If I do go with this plan I guess I could even put a border that could be larger than the 35-50mm and then I would absorb this small strip.
Now I've also worked out that I could cut a tile to 160mm and place this above the bath, which would give me a bigger tile at ceiling height and would still match the other features around the room. This would mean more cuts over all and mean battening the wall above the bath to start with whole tiles.
As for the positioning horizontally I am fine with that as by coincidence most walls sizes allow for almost whole tiles to fit with minimal cutting at each corner / end.
I would appreciate any advice,
Thanks,
Daz
