Batons, levels, trackers

in the invisible kitchens no

I've never seen that done in the UK, that's just some weird thing that Italians do😉

I prefer to do the walls excluding bottom course, the floor then bottom course. I bought rubi stands and got a bit of grief of a certain someone 😛

you've never seen it because it's invisible.
in a few years you'll see the invisible tiles in the kitchen.
now they are 50/50% those who put and do not put tiles in the kitchen.

I tend to knock a straight edge into the wall, or level.

If it’s passing across tanking then I still bang a nail in. Then pop a bit more tanking over the hole before I tile.

If you’re worried about the tanking then cut a piece of batten between your straight edge and the top of the shower tray/Bath/wet Dec etc.

I do the same

I tend to screw timber legs onto battens, from floor,
Bath, shower etc. If I’ve breached wall tanking with nail etc, fill hole with Silicon.

Cool idea. How do the straight edges stay on or do you get a row in first so you have something to push against?

I do walls down to baton. Floor tiles then bottom row of wall. I tend to us wooded baton but am interested in a metal system - save the trees and all

if I understand, I put a bit of adhesive behind the aluminum lines.
