Undersize Floor Tiles ?

[DHTiling]

A half either side will look ok....that will give a bigger cut in the corner...as long as both sides of the shower look the same then no probs...

Thanks for all your replies. I can set them out correctly but I would have liked to have nearly 4 full tiles from the shower tray to the wall instead of 3 and 2 near halves or 4 and a narrow cut. I just thought I had cracked it that was all and if it was unusual to get a 6mm tolerance I would complain and see if I could get a batch nearer the stated size.

As it looks like my luck is out would you go for a 20mm slither against the opposite wall where ther is a WC, wall hung basin and Rad and have a full tile against the tray or a near half against the wall and the tray ( which hits you as you go in the room ) ????

Any suggestions would be appreciated

You need to set out your tiles so you end up with a balanced look if possible. Having a full tile on one side and a small cut on the other will look strange and you, especially, will notice it every time you enter the room. Also, trying to put a full tile up against the wall is not practical, are you sure the walls are square? if they are not square you will end up having to put long thin triangular shaped cuts in where the wall runs out of square. Much better to try and cut a tile that has got lots of "meat" either side of the cut line, tends to "hide" things better and will certainly cut much better.

go for the half rather than the slither mate
