Straight line - TilersForums.com

[penno]

Doing a large kitchen floor tomorrow and was after a few tips on how to get my straight line.
The kitchen is a strange setup and there is sod all to get my angles from, even the work tops are a weird in and out curvy shape.
Any tips would be great.
Thanks

Awright penno

I would probably take my line from the door as you enter the room.
If there is a couple of entrances i would try to make the floor look straight from both. Dry laying to find the best position. If the kitchen is like what you say, then you are a tiler not a magician. If the floor looks straight to the eye then you are onto a winner.:hurray:

take the plinths off and take a set measurement from the feet of the units. they shouldnt be much out of square then set out from that line. if you get what i mean

Dont trust the legs, much better to plumb line down from front of units and see how other walls work from that.
