YouTube - Setting tile into adjoining rooms

 

[Spud]

there is nothing wrong with the setting out in the video the tiler has centred the door way into the adjoining room which is good practice, he has achieved a full tile as you enter the kitchen area again good practice and his joint closes under the door of the utility room with an even cut either side of the kitchen. how would have you set it out and why in your opinion is it rubbish ?there are some small cuts but some times as you well know these are unavoidable

 

[Leatherface]

Sorry, not clear enough, was talking about dry laying them all, not his cuts !

 

[mikethetile]

i think its good advice for a novice and is not intended for the pro tiler

 

[Leatherface]

suppose so if you look at it that way

 

[Dave Ramsden]

thats what I call "speed tiling". Generally Id never tile out of tramlines and I always get the cuts in as going. Pro tiler can achieve higher results with a few lines and a good tape measure

Nick,

I think all of that is for the benefit of the camera and to show DIY'ers what they should be doing with their layout lines.

That said, most of the DIY shows here in the US are insipid. :mad2:

Title of my thread is a bit harsh : for the DIY er
But if you have a multi room set out of over 150 sq m as I have often done, it would be a nightmare to dry lay
