Hi,
Running a small bathroom job for a customer.
Customer really wants to use a particular 600x300x9 porcelain tile he has picked out in a brick bond pattern.
The back wall of the shower cubicle is awkwardly a little over 600 wide. It's also on the wonk in a proper pyramid shape, but all parties have acknowledged this!
By the time backer board and tiles are on the adjacent walls it will be about 662 wide at the top and 736 by the bottom (crazy I know).
Question is how best to lay this out. My customer says he would like to have a column of tiles on their side (portrait) running down the centre. To be fair the half tiles either side will match up for a wrap-around the corner full tile look with the adjoining brick bond so I get that logic but hard to imagine how it would look. Is there a better option other than new tile size? Customer set on the tile he has chosen.
I would be curious to see how else one would approach this from a setting out point or view or if anyone has seen this before and it looks good/bad.
Attached is a photo of how the awful previous tiles were done using a mosaic. This was done in a straight stack. God knows who by though, terrible work. I'll upload a couple some pictures of that too for those who like a laugh!
