tiling over paint (yet again)

[goatboy]

any reason why as trawling through forums ive heard people argue about top and bottom but never say why

A personal preference

also when putting up a border would i be right in thinking that if you measured the wall and had the boarder in the 'golden section' as artists call it then it would be more asthetically pleasing?

 

[White Room]

Golden section, I take you mean the centre

 

[goatboy]

no not exactly dead centre slightly above or slightly below... for some reason in art the eye notices perfection and doesnt like it...

Not in tiling, the eye loves perfection:lol:

 

[goatboy]

only with the tiles but the tiles themselves have imperfections... try it.. you have a border exactly half way up a wall then see how it looks

especially when the wall is 4 meters high+

 

[goatboy]

might even make a formula for the height of wall hehe

I aim for about 1200mm for the top of the border. Not anal about it, but in that ballpark.

cement render going on the walls tomorrow.. how long should i let that dry before tiling??
