When working in brick bond ?

[Gazzer]

Imagine this job. Bathroom to be tiled in 150 x 75 crackle glaze tiles. Its also 3 colours, Random pattern, white, dark white ? and light grey....the dado border is the dark white colour
Its to be tiled brick bond / half bond, so you get to about halfway up the wall and then you need to introduce a 20 x 150 pencil dado border.
So do you half bond the border with the tile below or keep it on joint ?...bearing in mind that above the dado you need to start tiling again as below.
Just came across this with a plumber and a client recently, both had different ideas but the client won.

My point is in the question.

I would continue the bond.

I would carry on with brickbonding it all the way up. i.e. treat the border just like the other tiles.

Personally i'd brick bond the dado too however I would ask the customer as I know they sometimes like to do things differently. I had it with a mosaic border once where they wanted the tiles above and below to mirror each other rather than staggered, looked cack IMO but I just stick them!

Problem is, if you brick bond the dado, the two courses either side will be the same bond and in my mind that would look wrong, especially as the dado is only 20mm.

Bingo, that was the clients concern.
