[QUOTE="Sam10, post: 964679, member: 53363"] Afternoon guys, In the process of tiling my bathroom floor and half height walls at the moment. Been regularly referring to this forum, it's been great so far thanks! I've got the walls tiled now and have left the bottom row off while I do the floor. I was hoping to follow the grout lines through the floor and up the walls. Using the same tiles wall and floor, 450x450 rectified porcelain. Setting out to follow the wall grout lines end up leaving three 25mm slivers along the long side of the shower tray, it works fine everywhere else. Alternatively I can shift the floor half a tile over to kind of brick bond the wall/floor. I think I already know the answer but my question really is, would you professionals accept three sliver cuts as the compromise to achieve matching grout lines throughout, or would the sensible compromise be to shift the tiles over, avoid the sliver cut and forget about matching grout lines. Also sorry to go on, but I can still match the grout lines in the longer direction of the room (as you enter the door). So that's another question, would you maintain grout lines to the wall in one direction if you could or is it better practice to brick bond in both directions if that makes sense. Grateful for some input! Cheers [/QUOTE]
