Is there always a right and wrong way?

[TilingLogistics]

I actually prefer the top one In my eyes anyway.

So do I in that scenario

Poor illustration on my part, but surely you understand the concept I'm trying to convey

Yes I do sWE but personally I've only had to do it on a floor.

The use of this concept doesn't have to be limited to merely solving problems; it can be used in intentional design features. With different coloured tiles, it can be pretty striking. You don't always need purpose made tiles to create good looking borders and patterns.

We had to do a little sliver cut

Gutted!

Tiles were 600mm long. Tiles were 3 x 600mm plus a 10mm gap.
Total wall was 1810mm Rows were 9 tiles floor to ceiling.

Option was to cut five tiles and waste them. or to add the 10mm sliver.

The tiles below were cut just over the half way mark (of 300mm) to 310mm) so we could do it with the second row. Only possibility would be to go for 400mm cut and a 200mm cut.

Even trying to work the math on this post hurts my head.

At the end we just added a sliver in the corner hidden by a towel rail for the majority of the five rows and with one sliver at the top but hidden behind the bathroom door.

Suprisingly I did beat myself up for ages on that... Another obvious thing was to pack out the wall with a 9mm plasterboard. But are we really that picky?
