Hi all,
I'm about to start tiling my bathroom. It's 2400 x 1500 and 2400 ceiling height. I'm planning to use 600x300 wall tiles and planning to use brick bond to help break up the linearity of it (but I'm open to persuasion that brick bond may not be the best approach).
The 1500 wall is ahead when you enter the room. It has the WC against it on one side and the end of the bath on the other. It has a window (800w x 1100h) in it that's not quite centered - the walls to the sides of the window are 350 (left) and 330 (right).
The 2400 wall is to the left and has the long edge of the bath against it and a sink unit.
So, question is do I start from a centre line on the small wall? If I do that should I start dead centre even though I will be left with slightly uneven tiles at either side due to the window being 20mm offset to the right, or will 20mm go un-noticed? I could start 10mm off-centre as well to minimise the offset.
I'll be looking at a pattern of 150-600-600-150. That starts the main wall with 450 so the main wall will run (R->L) 450-600-600-600-50, which I think will look dodgy.
If I start at the centre of the big wall I'll be looking at 560-600-600-560 and then 40-600-600-230 on the small wall. Again, not good.
If I ignore the brick bond option I could tile both walls by starting at each of their own centre lines. It will use a few more tiles but that's not a big deal - will that look odd where the walls meet though?
One other option is to find a magic tile length that makes both walls even but it means cutting every tile to a new length, something I'd rather not do.
Ta,
Jon
