Help not sure how to set out one wall with 2 areas and different tiles for both - TilersForums.com

[asiltam]

I am a new tiler and have potentially got my first job.

However, it isn't straight forward or doesn't seem to be to me.

The job in the bathroom is the problem as one wall has a shower cubicle on it and this needs to be tiled in different tiles to the remaining wall. Not sure how to set out, should I treat them as two separate areas with there being 2 different types of tiles being used on what is essentially one wall?

Any advice on this would be really appreciated.

Thanks.

You say different tiles is that size

 

[asiltam]

They are same size tiles but different designs. One design will go within the shower enclosure to the ceiling and the other on the remaining wall (so 2 designs on one wall split by the enclosure).

If they are the same size tile set out the shower cubicle as required but the rest of room will have to follow suit to grout lines from the shower

I agree with whitebeam there, also look at the two thicknesses, you may have to compensate to get flush finish.......Gaz

Hi Asiltam

I have recently completed a similar project

The walls were well out of true and made fitting the shower tray impossible
so made a feature of the shower enclosure and built it out from the original wall by some 4 inches or so by battening and boarding.

Blends in nice.
