[QUOTE="BillyM, post: 986938, member: 58892"] [B]I am about to tile a splashback having put the job off for a few months (much to my wife's annoyance) As you walk into the kitchen, the first worktop starts, with the basic shape being an upside-down U shape with the wall directly in front of the door having the window. I am using 200 x 100 tiles. I want to start on the left side .. a straight wall into the corner. Marking out, it would be 16 full tiles (and spaces) then 85mm to the end of the worktop. Do I start with a full tile at the corner, or a full tile at the other end, ie near the door ? Or do I work it out so there are cuts at both ends, 42mm Alternatively, if I just start the tiling 85mm from the end .. would mean only full tiles .. or would this look stupid ? Again the window side is near enough 20 full tiles and half a tile ... I assume I arrange it to have cuts equal in size at both ends. I would like to give in now ... even before I start :)[/B] [/QUOTE]
