Evening All.

I am envelope tiling a 1500 x 900 centre drain wet tray tomorrow with 600 x 600 tiles and am curious as to which way folk tend to cut.

On the 900 width I'll cut two 450 tiles then would anybody put in the 150 off cut out of the tray or just start with a fresh tile.

Many thanks.

Kevin

Imagine laying tiles dry, and just cut through the lot down to the drain.

The tiles are big enough not to have fiddly cuts I'd imagine.

Are you intending to start full tile at length edge as well.

do you mean using the 150 as a closer out of the tray Kev?

With it been a 900 wide tray there will be a 450 cut from the centre gulley to the wall then opposite there will be a 450 cut from the centre gulley to the glass screen(end of the 900 tray) Curios if anybody then puts in the 150mm off cut then a full tile out of the wet tray area or just has the 450 piece then full tile and avoids the 150mm cut. Hope it makes sense. Cheers all
