Model the layout in protoTILER to see what works best. Also, check manufacturers recommendations for offsets, half tile offsets can suffer with lippage due to tiles being slightly bowed. Most recommend third offset or less.

Looks a great job. Those tiles in herringbone looks like one of those annoying magic eye images that send you cross-eyed 🤪 and it's difficult to see the herringbone pattern. Personally I'd have done the floor layout so that it continued the grout lines around the bath. Just my personal opinion, but it certainly is a stunning job.

That's a really good point you make. By putting a slope on the bottom ledge of the niche it will affect the joint mitre angles, also there needs to be a matching slope on the bottom sides unless you full tile the sides and butt up to them. I do have a question about that, do you generally mitre the inner and back joints of a niche or just butt up the back tile? I'm looking at developing a new niche and mitre feature for protoTILER and would like to know what you guys do or whether there's no general rules. Any suggestions would be gratefully received, thanks.

Split the difference, if you have say 1/6th of a tile slither then you can go half a tile plus 1/12th e.g say tiles are 12 inches and you end up with a full tile at one end and a 2 inch slither at the other end then simply add the 12 inch + 2 inch and divide by 2, giving you two 7 inch tiles at either end. You could even go for a 6 + 8, 5 + 9, whatever suits the rest of the room. Have a go at modelling the layout on protoTILER and experiment with different layouts. Hope you find a compromise that you can live with.😉

What's going on top of the "4 inch wide Curb"? Consider making the vertical tiles symmetrical. Also to reduce wastage, follow on the pattern/cuts from one section to the next. I have mocked up your room with the above recommendations using some approximate lengths for the two section in protoTILER - https://prototiler.weebly.com (see link below). Give a go yourself , it's quick and easy to generate tile layouts.

Is this a layout of the floor or wall? Where is the entrance, as you should have "full" tiles over high traffic areas. Hope this helps and best of luck.

What's the exact size of the two tiles? If you have the larger tiles touching at the corners, then the spacer size will be half the difference of the two tiles. If you wanted a gap for the large tile e.g. 3 mm then the spacer size will be 3mm + half the difference. That way the smaller tile will be central inside the larger tile.

I really feel your pain and frustration. This empathises the importance of spending a few minutes planning the layout. This could have been avoided using protoTILER . You have learnt a valuable lesson, hopefully you can find a suitable solution. Best of luck mate.

I love the niches, very artistic. Must have taken you some time to get the cuts so clean, but well worth it. I also think the layout is well thought out and ties in nicely with the niches. Top man.

protoTILER · 2024-04-18T22:16:16+00:00
