Then u said u had a 45 degree square and could u use that, yes?

 

[Mr Tiler]

[Mr Tiler]

i cant get my head round it i want to do it like ali has done in that pic just without the boarder, but all need is the 45 degree of the triangle dont i?

Buy a simple carpenters square Ash.
Use the 45 degree on it to mark a line a 45 degrees from the corner of a tile. Do this on a few. Find a centre line and lay the tiles to it so the centre line follows through the line on your tile.

If that makes sense

I cant picture it ali i should be ok been looking at some of the work so as long as i square up the room to the mm i should be ok with it

 

[Mr Tiler]

Not doing the job yet anyway just pricing and seing if it is do-able first but wanted to know how to set it out incase i get some samples

Look at the centre of the floor in my picture. Visualise a line through the points

 

[Mr Tiler]

Do you just use one centre line ali? Or do you need one line each end of the tile? Seems it would be hard with just the one centre line if you know what i mean
