I like laying them as they go down fast and minimal cutting and minimal waste. Random bond.

Here's a tip on laying them - if they're badly bowed, don't!

 

[terrycoe1]

Haha I've heard the bow can be hurendous at times !

One from a few weeks ago.
Floor was 75mm out of level. Door was the low point, so no chance of building up.

 

[terrycoe1]

I'm now starting to get the flavour to put these down in my dining room

The more random the better.

I'm looking at a 50m job tomorrow with 1000mm long planks. Client wants 2 tiles running around the perimeter as a border then 45 in the middle going through 3 rooms. Fingers crossed they've got a flat subfloor, a quality tile and deep pockets! Could be there a while I reckon.

 

[Flintstone]

Hit them hard rich, that's gonna be a lot of work

That looks nice, Tough call on set out. I see a fairly even split tile on your bottom and top cut. The tile on around the window edge must have been a pain to cut. I might have popped a bit of plaster board on the sill to help save on that cut but I can't see what else is in the room. Nice floor by the way.

Yeh there was a horrid edge around near the door if I'd dropped it I would have had the same slither but 3 or 4 tiles long and the window edge would have ended up a full tile which run out I was passed the job on prep work was done by someone else I should have used plaster board or Evan off cut of tile under neath to pack it up !

This was the return wall

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

Thats an odd thing, funny box above the bath. Size of tile I guess. Like ya say it's about making the best of what is there.

tile supplied from a 'sister' company of porcelanosa. bowed, twisted and the amount of build up and rubber hammering eventually managed to control them on a third bond. If I see another plank tile this year...I might just become a salesmans dream for them !

 

[Wishiwasatoptiler]

You must love work every day with views like that. Very Nice Pic.

Looks like rain in the distance Cam
