Default Wet room

I just went to price a job in a cutomers new wet room. The floor is concrete and is level until about 1 metre square around the drain hole where it flows in for the drainage by 10 mm. The problem is they want to use 30 x 30 polshed granite floor tiles. Can this be done any other way than cuting them into triangles and laying them from the drainage hole outwards in 4 ?

Dude!

Why would you want to do it any other way?

I'd do it like the picture attached (took me ages get this right lol, even chose a tile-like design), with a 3mm joint this will give you 909mm, near the 1000 you need.

P.S how did you get L in #tilersforums? you crafty git you!
