Hi Everyone - I'm new here, please be gentle.
I am just about to start to tile a new extension which is a single 7mx4m room open plan into kitchen and into utility and loo.
Total area of about 60m2
I have all the tiles (300x600 ceramics )
This is by far the largest area I've tiled but am struggling with a tile pattern that fits all areas as I dont want to see long linear grout lines. I think a 90 degree herring bone may look good but I'm not sure if this makes the job more difficult? Any other ideas?
I think however I set out it will isnt gonna fit everywhere as there are too many doorways, walls rooms etc
The floor in the extension is a cement screed with wet ufh in the extension this has a day joint in it which isnt straight( is this likely to cause problems?)
The new floor then joins the old kitchen floor which is a concrete (unheated) old floor slab. Guessing I'll need an expansion strip here?
Ps I am very capable an have built the extension entirely my self, bricklaying roof structure, tiling, plastering so I'm probably not your average diy guy.
Just need a bit of advice please, as the last think I want is tiles cracking / lifting because I've not done something.
Thankyou!!!
