Discuss chalk line v laser level in the UK Tiling Forum area at TilersForums.com.
I treat brick bond just the same as a regular grid pattern. If the pattern's horisontal, no prob there; if it's vertical, no prob either, as you'll still have a line to go by every other tile. Put ya spirit level on top of the top most tiles if it helps.
Edit: I tend to use chalk most of the time as well, but in certain situations, especially on REALLY large surfaces, I find lasers useful. Lasers and mid sized rooms, ie fairly large bathrooms, are a good combo though, I must admit.
As for lines distorting: Good lasers + laser visibility goggles = spanking good.
Thx for the compliment btw
Edit: I've been thinking of getting one of those small 90 degree angle lasers for a while. They seem useful.
I agree with what you are saying Dave. My question earlier in the thread about brick bond was posted because I wondered if it would make keeping the brick bond lines easier.Just to add to this..........You should also be able to set a room or floor out with out the aid of a laser level .....
1. It is a skill all tilers should be capable of....
2. You might just go to set your laser up and the batteries could be flat or the laser broken...then what do you do if you can't set a room out the traditional way.......
But they are a great add on for fixers to help with the speed of setting out.....
Tiling is a hand--eye skill so get used to using a level etc when setting out as well.......
