can anybody give me a step by step method of how you tile without using battens..if you could make it in lamens terms then that would be good:stupid:

yes but theres a way on tiling that dave mentioned once and its a pattern in which you tile. but thanks anyway, it was in lamens terms and i appreciate that mate :0) lol

I was taught at NETT about this - means you can work down over when you're tiling and just use your normal 4 step tile procedure if that makes sense?

hi ed mate....

firstly you set out as normal...datum lines etc etc.....

Then once you have got your centre/starting point....you hang(fix) your first tile from this point and work down the the floor( bottom tile).
You then have one vertical row of tiles......you then mark the next bottom cut and fix, then go up with the tiles to the datum line..continue with each consecutive row, keeping to the datum line at all times.....you can tile the bottom half of a bathroom this way then you know the tiles will meet up and then tile the top half.....each room is different so you alter to suit the room....

hope this explains it easier........

thanks dave,

got that mate, i knew you would come up trumps on that one. have you ever thought about launching your own dvds on tiling? seriously mate, i know a couple of guys who do the same with plastering and they are doing really well. obviously dan would be your agent of course ahem ;0)

thanks to tileform also, much appreciated...
