Schluter are one company who do them but they are pricey. Joining is the only way as widler says. Down low is preferred in most cases as not so visible, but I cut mine so they are virtually impossible to see without bending right down and inspecting closely.

I was assuming it was a wet area....but on second look probably not, but if it was I would keep any joins in trims above the likely wet area.

Here are a few from the pub close to me. Typical example of checking out the tiles when going to spend a penny!

Last one. Really spoilt my number 1 looking at these! Wanted to start ripping then down there and then!

Tile **** at its best.

I tend to find pub loos are getting worse. When it was 6x6 johnsons trade colours and whatnot it was usually not too bad but now they're trying to be a bit posh they screw it up too easy.

Not that I go in much but the weatherpoons near me is pretending its something it isn't and has chrome effect embossed borders that are shockingly cut around half a dozen poorly made boxing in and whatnot.
