Chevron wall tiling - TilersForums.com

[Miles]

Evening everyone,

Has anybody got advice on tiling chevron wall tiles? It’s a back shower wall and using Y spaces but there are a few to do and it’s taking to much time...

Any hints or tips would be hugely appreciated.


Regards, Miles

Don’t know why it’s underlined....??

Never used chevron tiles myself, is it just the back wall in the shower? Any intricate pattern will take extra time, hardest part will be keeping everything running level and vertical. I would be tempted to fit a vertical batten/laser line and do a whole course from shower tray to ceiling. Then once gone off tile to that with the other rows. Hope that makes sense

Thanks, a thought we’ve had is to baton both sides so there are no cuts and put them in after.

That would be good if both battens are the right distance apart and vertical should be fine, on the plus side at least you can get to a stage and stop. With some layouts it's hard to stop at a particular stage where one tile fits into the next. Cheers
