    Default What size tiles - best

    What size tiles do you recommend for a wetroom floor that has a 1200 x 1200 former ?

    I've been told it's best size is under 100mm x 100mm square otherwise the fall is compromised on the tray, is this correct ?

    Hi Ray...you can use whatever size tile you like...mosaics are the easiest as they follow the curviture of the former and it gets more and more difficult at the get bigger...Once you reach a tile size where, when laid out, they do not naturally follow the curviture of the former, you have to mark the tiles with lines that run from each corner of the gulley out to the outer corners of the former/shower area. Then you cut along those lines and relay the tiles. The cut tiles will then follow the natural curviture of the former....hope that makes sense
