Random tiles percentage - TilersForums.com

[Leroy Brown]

Morning guys. I am after a bit of advice. My client is having 200 x 100 tiles in brick pattern and is going to put some blue tiles in with the white. Is there a certain percentage per m2 of random tiles and is there a technique to outing them in randomly?

Thanks for your help in advance

The clue is there.... "Random". If you start planning it's not random anymore! If the client wants that then they have to decide what is acceptable to them.

10% can look too sparse so go with 20-25% maybe

Ah ha, thank you for your quick reply and advice. It is muchly appreciated

Get some stick it note pads and get your client to stick them on the wall approximately where he wants them .

Client looked at me funny when I said to stick it.

Now another bit of advice, levelled brick tiles. I guess the trim will be for the size of the edge which is 4mm and not the thickest part which is 7mm.

Cheers chaps

No.............. the trim should be for the thickest part. An 8mm trim will be good.

I've never seen a 4mm trim!

7 or 8 mm trim.
