Tiling pattern

[Accountantbytrade]

I'm tiling some fairly standard tiles - 60w by 30h round the bathroom. The last tile on the corner is 20cm so do I make the next tile 40 cm and continue round the room? I have started in the middle of one wall (bath wall) and am moving round the room.

It made sense but I just wanted to double check.

Thanks.

It depends if it leaves small slither cuts. Make sure you staff out and know what size cuts you will get around the room and adjust tiling to suit and a more pleasing wrap effect.

Thanks. I did the first wall as it is a different colour and spaced it out nicely. The second wall may not be as well spaced so should I adjust the tiles to make sure I avoid slithers at the end? How big is a slither?

50mm and under. Yes just adjust to get a better look

Thanks Dave. I thought everyone was going to take the mick "how big is a slither!"

There are no stupid questions here mate! If you've not done any / much of it, then how would you know. Hope the bathroom turns out nice

Thanks. You haven't seen the rest of my questions yet!! But good to know. Its exciting and frustrating tiling. When it works it is euphoric. When it doesn't I want to smash it all up (anger issues?)
