Top Tips and Trick with Metro Tiles

[Andy Allen]

Can't say I enjoy using metros....but a jobs a job....
There's no easy way to use them just try keeping the bond in the corners...but don't be that anal about it if it means avoiding slithers....use 8mm trims....use a decent non slip adhesive, get a level line round the room and work from that ..no need for buttons....and I always use a new squeegee when grouting to get as much of the grout of as possible

Mark wall out.

Realise you have marked the wrong way so cutting in the socket will be a nightmare.

Smear lines on wall so you don't follow those by mistake.

Mark new lines.

Stand back look at how messy the wall looks and have a coffee/***/tea break to draw the job out.

Look at wall again and forget which markings you are working to.

Realise you are working on a Saturday the golf club is open and you should be having 9 holes instead

Simples!

(Side note... this is only an excuse if you have started with a hangover)

You sound more like a sparky Laura!
