when I tiled the wall down Sharon you couldn't really see them, only a very little bit poking out

I was talking about the wall tiles

I was talking about the wall tiles

It's debatable what you would do there. I suppose 3 options - 1) Do as Doug has done to keep the large tiles intact. 2) Split the tiles so you have a join down the middle of the width 3) Make the mosaics wider

It's personally preference really on what each person thinks looks better. Think I would have been tempted to make the mosaic wider but then that might not have been an option depending on what was happening in the rest of the room.

 

[Mr Tiler]

I wouldn't of made the mosaic wider i would of just gone half tile from the mosaic then would give the right hand corner half and half but i suppose that would be down to prefference and also how it falls on the wall to the left. Not questioning dougs descision though

 

[Dougs Third Go]

originally the mosaics were to be a full sheet wide, but that would have left a 20mm slither cut into the corner, so I gave the options to the customer and we agreed to half the width of the mosaics, so we could avoid a slither.

Hi Doug

Bathroom looking good. Thank you very much, especially for the extra effort over the weekend.

Money has been transferred so hopefully is showing in your account.

Best wishes
Sue and Lew

I'm having the same problems at the mo,with mosaics and furniture ,in 3 bathrooms, nowt works, if I centre the walls everything's out,if I centre the toilet ,the sinks out,if I centre the sink the showers out ,if I centre the window the floor would look odd and the shower would be out, if I just went to the pub instead I would be out but extremely happy

 

[Mr Tiler]

Haha
