You don't? Oh, ... that's the only thing that came to my mind there... goes to show I'm not a tiler.. You get tumbled marble TILES? Didn't know...

Although their is a set pattern to Opus/Roman design I tend to favour a complete random setting out. Care often has to be taken with the smaller square tile as you will find where 3 joints are in line no allowance has been made for the additional joint width.
As long as you set your floor out in equal boxes/sections/grids and maintain a straight course, it often proves an easier pattern to follow.

600 x 400, 400 x 400, 200x400, 200 x 200

I have done opus to a set pattern and random, but must agree with TJ. I prefare random. Repeat pattern can look a little like cushion floor imo

Timlee, Is that pattern also calle Versaille ? I beleive it is..I have installed lot's of that...Lay all four tiles in the pattern,two small tiles against a larger tile will give you the joint size..The manufacturer determines the joint size, Not us...Hope this helps..:8:
