Hi
I am encountering a problem with laying out 600 by 600 mm ceramic floor tiles in an open plan room which has a fireplace / opening for a wood / solid fuel stove jutting out from the wall by 300mm. Since the fireplace is one of the first focal points to be seen on entering the room I have balanced the tiles round it so they are symetrical. When I dry lay the rest of the tiles into the bay window I am left with a strip which is 90mm which is obviously much less then the half a tile width rule for tiling. If I adjust the layout to have approximately half a tile left in the bay then the tiles round the fireplace become unsymetrical.I can't have both things so is it just a case of what looks the best in this particular instance?
Regards
Gavin
