Hi everyone, I've just joined and need some advice before finishing off my bathroom tiling.
I've tiled my whole bathroom in large white bumpy tiles floor nearly to the ceiling. There won't be any skirting and eventually there will be large black polished floor tiles laid up to the white wall tiles and join at gaps with silicone.
I started at the floor level measuring the floor tile and position and fitted the tiles in order to get a good fit at the edges between the wall and floor tile and leaving plenty gaps. All is ok and worked my way up, to minimize cuts and to have as many full tiles as possible and leaving the last row where the wall meets the ceiling.
I specifically measured and bought wall tiles to suit so that the final row at the ceiling would not be very small, the final tile on the top was to have been cut to approx 5".
Before I start cutting the final row of tiles where the wall meets the ceiling the ceiling is slightly uneven. Presently at the top of first row of tiles the gap between the top of the tile to the ceiling is 15cm and this lowers to 13.5cm and the end of the final row.
The questions I have are :
Do you cut all tiles the same size based on the smallest size, you'll see the run off and then fill it in?
Or do you cut each tile with it's own size at an angle with a slight decreasing height, to give the same gap at the top to take into account the ceiling run off ?
Great forum by the way.
Thanks in advance
