Wetroom tray setting out - TilersForums.com

[al strachan]

Hello people. Been up to the eyes with life, but finally managed to progress my (now 6m long!) wetroom project.

All tanked ready to go, but wondering which way you pro’s would set out this tray. 315 square tiles, and with one sitting dead centre on the tray, hard against the front edge of the tray works out great for the full room, but will leave a 50mm slither outside the tray, then onto full tiles.

Moving 50mm over also works for setting out, but will leave the tiles off centre to the drain.

Might be any easy answer, just seems there will be a thin border of tile around the tray, and Exra grout lines to get the tiles symmetrical with the drain.

I could also be overthinking this. A common theme with me :/

Have you tried having a grout line at the center of the drain?

This works also, but with it being a patterned tile, and a tiled cover, I would have a grout line through the cover too. Do you think that would look better? It a reversible cover, but not so keen on a plain stainless cover.

Sorry Tony, I’ve completely misinterpreted you reply. I’ll go check it out!!!

Like this. I did try it before, but thought it would look messy. Are there option to keep the tile complete, and start the envelope on the next tile?

Tile 315mm, 3mm spacer, 600mm drain

Are you installing a glass screen?

 

[al strachan]

Yes I am, just back from the edge of the tray, tray is 1500, but I was only doing a 500mm screen to save the towel rail and bog getting wet. Can’t install a deeper screen, since there’s an Eve on the opposite wall.

Use 2 mm spacers ifyou can

Use 2 mm spacers ifyou can

I went for 3mm because my cutter blade is 2mm approx, so wanted the cuts to appear smaller,

Do you think 2mm would look better?

They look like BCT Laura Ashley Mr Jones tile, if so then 3mm spacer would be advisable . . .

Of course, they are indeed.
