Nattow Kitchen Floor Tile Layout

[LloydsPlastering&Tiling]

Hi guys. I am tiling a kitchen floor monday and was hoping for a second opinion on the layout. The area to be tiled is 1.4 x 4 with a dog leg at one the internal door end. Tiles are 600 x 300 polished porcs to run brick bond. I suggested they should be layed lengthways paralell to the worktops. Customer was adviced by the tile shop to lay them perpendicular. Just worried that would make a narrow space seem even narrower. Thanks.

You gave the customer the best advice ,its upto them at the end ofthe day ,it will look good either way ,

for me, parralell to units will elongate floor space making it narrower,
Running perpendicular will shorten the space, making it wider.
But as above, put decision in clients hands.

No right or wrong, I usually see what looks best from the doorways, sometimes you want to see the brick bond effect as you walk into the room

Random would be better in a area that size ,

Call the customer and ask them to lay some tiles dry on the floor in two areas using both options and live with it for the weekend. You will find they will know what feels best to them by the time you start on Monday 🙂

If they still can't decide then there's no hope 😉
