Wet Room Flat Metro Opinions Needed! *Pictures* - Tile Advice

[Adam18Spring]

Hi guys
Would appreciate any opinions or advice on the below 3 pictures please:

Tiles 100x200 flat metro with 2mm spacers
Red Lines are 90 Degree internal corners, white bit is the window

As you walk into the room the middle wall is directly infront with the window to the left and the full wall to the right

Option 1:
Full tile at top and bottom of window, however annoying slither at the top
Middle wall is also not balanced

Option 2:
No full tile/cuts around window, middle wall not balanced

Option 3:
Same as option 2 but with middle wall balanced

Option 2 ....What makes you think the floor and the ceiling are level?

Ok thanks for that, why do you mean regarding the ceiling and floor wrighty?

If you set out with full tile and your floor runs down you will have to cut slivers. Likewise the ceiling......cut slivers.
Yet to see a floor or a ceiling that was within a couple of mil of being level.

You’re being too literal with the rules of setting out Adam.
Allow yourself a little artistic licence.
Whilst wrapping tiles around corners is a correct method.
There’s nothing to say the wrap has to be mm perfect.
You can lengthen or shorten tiles a little and it won’t be noticeable to the eye, only the tape measure.

Get yourself a timber batten nearly the same height as the floor to ceiling and draw along its length where the tiles and grout joints will go (the horizontal grout joints I mean) Then ping a horizontal laser line around the room and offer up a grout joint to the laser line to see where you are with everything. Adjust the laser line to suit.

Pay particular attention to the floor and ceiling joint.

It’s sometimes better to check things out in the flesh than on a computer. What works on a screen might not work in reality.

From the floor to the ceiling on a perfectly Plumb wall will be the shortest possible distance. On a wall that’s out of Plumb, the distance is increased.

I was going to post this, although in all honesty I never shorten the wrap. I’ll only lengthen the wrap, an I tend to keep it below a quarter of the overall tile length.
