Good morning
I’m tiling a bathroom in 600x400 porcelains both floor and wall, ideally it want to be done 50 % brick bond but I’m slightly concerned because holding the tiles back to back there is a couple of mm bow in the tiles, I’ve not used a levelling system before but happy to use one, in your guys experience would a levelling system compensate out the bowing or would I be better using a different pattern
thanks

When laying brickbond your substrate has to be very good to start.levelling clips will deffo help but aren't the magic cure.again it depends on substrate and tile.if the edges of the tile are rectified this will show lippage more.why not try starting a few rows to see,if not either go a third bond or landscape-portrait
