How would you set this one out?

Sometimes i'm amazed at what pro tilers can do, check out this youtube

How do you set a border out like that? the walls must have to be perfectly square? or do you cut to the border?

Looks like he may have undercut the skirting...or maybe previous floor covering removed.

Fair play though hope to be able to do this myself one day

good tunes also

Looks very nice....didn't see much in the way of "setting" the tile into the adhesive bed though!

Mine also ,

He just dropped the tile into the addy level with existing tiles and put in pacers, gonna have to hope no one with stilettos walks in

So hw do you do it? mark out your border first then centre to the border? in this case split into several areas and centre to borders? Looks like hes cut the large tiles to the black.

Some of you too critical for your own good, nice flat floor, good wet mix of addy, tile that size will drop in to bed no worries, nice work on yours dagger!

[FreeD]

haha! Been there, done that... I tried a pouch too, but that was a pain in the rear as well!!

hello all, tiled all the walls then all the steps in the room (there were 3 in all) then i set out from centre of room and laid some of the dots and octs,
then measured the distance from last tile to wall and cut the floor borders accordingly!!

hope that makes sence?
