Help!: I dont understand this!

[Pebbs]

I am quoting up at the moment and have just noticed that on one of the elevation drawings this:-

Wall clad in terrazzo tiles to match entrance flooring. Note:- Wall not full height-interanl structural posts required. All edges of tiles to be mitred to achieve monolithic appearance.

I cant grasp what they mean...its a flat wall area, why would the edges have to be mitred.

I need help...

Thanks Pebbs

it sounds as tho' they intend to fix dummy stancions on the internal wall Pebbs, to be tiled to look like pillars. I could be wrong tho'

hi check plans carefully there's a wall and looks like structural posts which will need mitering to make look solid (no trim or but joints) if i read your post right check with company your quoting for hope this helps

Your right I can see three posts in there now ive blown the drawing up. Why would every tile have to be mitred? This could get messy, mitring 18mm terrazzo tiles couldnt it?
