    Talking whats your most popular patten

    Just been having a look back at the jobs i'v done this year. I noticed that every bathroom i'v tiled this year, all 12 of them, as been 600x300 or some size similar, in a brickbond stylie, with jasmin grout. I think most bathrooms in cheshire must look the same, whats your most popular patten.

    Ditto Dave.

    I started last year doind loads of brick bond - personally I dont like it and think it will date quickly (which probably isn't a bad thing for a tiler).

    More recently I have been "talking" customers out of brickbond and more toward landscape as Dave picture. Looks better and is easier for fixing.
