full tile or different?

[brian c]

ok,so you get a job to tile a floor.What way do you like to finish at a door?

personally i like to have a full tile when i enter a room to start with although not always possible because of the shape of room etc...i know we all have our own preferences,so whats yours?

 

[davy583]

Full tile for me when ever possible. I think I looks better

 

[grumpygrouter]

I always cut. Never had a square enough room to use a full tile!

 

[DHTiling]

What ever looks balanced to that particular rooms layout.....

 

[davy_G]

Mmm, as i tile to the door i usually have a cut. Depends on the set out but i like at least half a tile running to the wall the door is on so that leaves at least half the tile plus the depth the door is recessed...if that makes sense.

 

[White Room]

Usually a cut at the door, with the shape of some of the rooms need to

 

[LM Ceramics]

same here a cut to the door usually all depends on the layout i try centred first work the cuts out and i also try different ways of setting out i go with the best outlook

Depnds on the room layout,prefer a full tile if at all possible,which 99% of the time is not possible,especially if ya got more than 1 door in the room lol

Flat is another matter completely :yes::yikes:

 

[hillhead]

Full at door for me mostly too,like to step on a full one first,looks great too if all else falls nicely,

 

[d noulton]

cut tile to the door half a tile at least depending on room layout

 

[doug boardley]

It'd be nice to finish with a full tile in the door, but not always possible due to un-square rooms, sanitary ware layout etc

 

[david campbell]

preferably a full tile and never less than half,if it's a small bathroom/kitchen i will alway lay dry to make sure its a full tile,feel it looks better on the eye:dizzy2:

 

[Saltire69]

I try and keep it to 3/4 length to full tile if possible.

 

[devonmark]

as near to full as possible..but it depends on the rest of the room..

 

[Bolter]

I always centre the room both ways and if it works out right I use that. Mostly 3/4 down to 1/2 tile min at doorway. I think rooms look better if you have the same cut on the doorway wall as you do on the opposing wall.

 

[culrossblue]

Always try to centre and have at least half a tile at the door.
If it works out of course!

What ever looks balanced to that particular rooms layout.....

Exactly

Every room has to be taken on it's own merits, depending upon size and squareness of room and size of tiles.

That is like saying when you fully tile a bathroom you always start with a full tile on the edge of the bath !!!

If it works nicely then fine, otherwise adjust setting out so all tiles fit nicely without any nasty looking cuts
