Hi all. Same wall, customer has asked if I would charge any difference in price between the 2 tile installations above. 8sq m area. I will definitely charge more for the smaller brickbond tiles but the question is, how much? I hate doing brickbond as it takes a lot more time (in my opinion)...

After something of a hiatus, my tiling project (bathroom and toilet) is back on, and I've made a start by actually putting some tiles on the toilet wall! To be honest I was putting it off... felt like a painter putting that first brush-stroke on the canvas... Anyway I've started on one wall of...

Hi guys, I quickly knocked this up earlier this morning, the drawing is to scale and I have accounted for the grout lines by increasing the tile size very slightly. Do you think I have got this right or completely wrong? Could any pro's offer some advice to improve the layout? Any ideas with...

hi guys when tiling walls with large tiles brickbond does anyone come across the problem when the walls run out ive got about an inch of addy behind the tiles to avoid lippage how do you guys avoid this happenening by the way the tiles are 600x300 travertine

Wonder if some one could answer my query. Right..........I've read on several other threads that when you do a brickbond pattern then you have more chance of the tile lipping? Could someone please explain why this is the case and any precautions i would take if i was to ever do one? Thanks Chris
