Started a wet room this week normally I use mosaics on the tray but they don't do a matching one with the tile I'm using so I,was going to do envelope cuts. I've never done them! I was wondering if any of you more experience tilers could offer me some advice on how to go about setting hem up, do I pull lines through etc.. And how do I cut them, finish the cuts?.
also the customer wants a broken bond on the tiles but not brick bond, they're a 600x300mm porcelain tile. In your opinion what looks best, keeping all the vertical cuts plumb or keep setting back off the tile a 3rd so a diagonal pattern forms?. I'm really looking forward to this job as the customer has let me guide them a lot and I'll run the patterns through with them first. To give you an idea the room is 3.8x1.265m with a dark grey tile on the floor which will continue to run up the end shower wall vertical with the rest of the walls being tiles horizontally in a lighter grey tile finished off with silver grey grout.
