How best to Tile a room?

[Old Mod]

Does it not show on plans height of finished floor?

well they have levelled out the floor to the floor in the other room which I asked for, I bought the underfloor heating towards the latter stages of the build and only started my research then, so at that point I wasn't aware I'd need insulation boards or slc, and I don't think they have dealt with underfloor heating so they weren't aware how much tolerance to leave either, no the floor height wasn't on the plans.

He has lost the *** packet so all measurements are in his head.

But if you would have a got a pro tiler in, just to look at the job he/she would have told you from the getgo about height tolerances.

yeah in hindsight, the trouble is that I didn't even think about tiling and floor height until the floor was down, doh! maybe somekind of decorate strip can be put on the side so you don't see the layers when your looking from the garden in.

Get an artist (a pro one) to paint a tile effect 1 metre from the bi-fold doors........

How far into the room do the bifold doors come when opening and closing? However far they come in your not going to be having any tiles basically.
Such bad planning imo, your obviously spending a lot of money and it's a shame for the finish to be compromised
