Browse Forums Bathrooms and Laundry 1 Jun 10, 2014 8:51 pm We were trying to choose our tiles today....what a difficult task. We've chosen to go with a 300x 600 floor tile in a grey lapato similar to the below colour with the feature wall continuing the floor tiles up also. Instead of the large white tiles, we are opting for white gloss subway tiles..not tiles to the ceiling but just to the top of the shower recess Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Does anyone have anything similar in their bathroom/ensuite? How do you think it will look...I mean I like this photo but the tile sizes will be different. Do you think if we went with a brick pattern on the floor, continued up the wall and then on the sides have the brick subways it will look good? Or do you think the stacked pattern is better? Oh so much to think about it's killing me Re: Tiling dilemma 2Jun 10, 2014 8:56 pm We have 600 x 300 tiles at work they look really good on the floor and the wall I don't know if the smaller subway tiles would look good with the larger 600 x 300 tiles. I'd be concerned about the amount of grout to clean with the smaller tile. If it were me I'd stick to either a square tile or 600 x 300 tile for the floor and feature wall and a white 600 x 300 tile for the other wall.

Laying floor tiles diagonally also conceals the fact that the walls are not always perfectly square. Re: Tiling dilemma 4Jun 10, 2014 10:15 pm Thanks guys...I think I'll pass on the 45deg I'm not a real fan of that but I'm tending to agree maybe the small subways will look a little busy. I also saw a 150 x 600 white tile so might look at that also. Thanks for the replies much appreciated Re: Tiling dilemma 5Jun 11, 2014 11:56 am Just make sure if you go the 150x600 stack the tiles to not brick them. Cheers Looking to tile the facade pillars rather than rendering. Builder is quoting 2500$ laying cost for upto 10msq. The 2 pillars come to be 16msq. So laying costs are 5000$… 0 7552 Hi, I'm clearing the tiles from our horrid 50 year old bathroom and preparing to lay new ones. Bugger of a job getting the old… 0 8091 4 14465 |
