cuts top or bottom ??

[skim]

Hi guys tiling my bathroom at the moment I am left with a 120mm cut ,what's best in this situation

 

[Ian]

What size is the tile? Need a bit more info really, have you got a picture or two of the room so we can see what you do.

As above

Hi bri the tiles are 400x250

 

[Ian]

It really is impossible to say what is best without seeing the room.

 

[Bubblecraft]

Have you got any pics skim?

There is no way you can gauge this out from the above as the are probably to many other horizontal levels to consider when gauging out

sorry guys seem to have a problem downloading my pictures . i take it its just insert image icon :mad2:

Yes mate. The little tree.

I take it you mean you will have a 120mm cut at the top if you came off the floor with a full 250 tile?

instead re-gig your tiles so you have a 185mm cut at the top AND the bottom.

But impossible to say if that is what you should do without seeing everything else in the room to take in to account... windows, bath height, furniture....

hope this helps you

The pics don't really help.. As CR says, don't come off the floor with a full tile. Only you can see if that will work with your other cuts, but chances are, neither the floor or ceiling will really be level (although i have seen a level floor once lol!).

BTW you may want to think about tanking around the bath/shower area if you haven't already and lastly I see most of the boards are dot and dabbed but the shower wall looks like it's been nailed, i could be wrong and it's been screwed but if not again best to screw it not nail

hi CR its timber frame so every wall was screwed on

Make sure you check you won't have any small slithers around the bath or window before you start fixing. It's not as simple as deciding how big you want the cuts top and bottom if it leaves you with a 20mm cut round the bath!

Really? there looks like a lack of fittings in the centre of the boards, you didn't just screw round the edge of the boards did you? Or did the pictures just not pick up the screws?
