Fixing stage! 43Jul 10, 2014 1:32 pm In need of some advice regarding how the tiles will be laid. 1. 1 big tile in the Centre with 2 small ones alongside? Or 2. Lay 2 tiles with a line of grout running through the middle? Im leaning more towards the first choice. I want big tiles to be like a feature, as soon as u walk through the door I want to see it and be like ohhhh ahhhh ohhhhh If I lay 2 tiles together they would have to cut them to size accordingly to fit them in the hallway.

It would be nice to show off 2 big tiles. Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 45Jul 10, 2014 1:46 pm Sorry just saw your last comment. Hmm it depends it doesn't look like they would be trimming off very much at all so it may still look good. Get the tiler to cut 2 to show you how it will look. Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 46Jul 10, 2014 1:49 pm It's so hard to make a choice bcos we are working with such a small space. The thing is with 2 tiles alongside I just seeing that middle line of grout. Hrmmmm Re: Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 47Jul 11, 2014 6:38 am I see what you mean with the line of grout. My preference is to have the large tile down the middle and not the grout line, this way it would look like a path. As for where we are building, we are out in the western suburbs. We signed the contract yesterday so dates will come thru shortly. We haven't made any modifications, just gone standard. I'll start a thread as soon as we have dates and something to show.., right now all we have is dirt...... In the meantime, I'll enjoy your build, thanks for sharing.... Simonds Prague in South East Melb.. Fixing stage! 48Jul 11, 2014 11:16 am congrats on signing contracts. After all the admin stuff is complete they are pretty fast and don't muck around. We have the Masterton facade, were there's no bricks there will be cladding. Were not going to do any render maybe after hand over..... ? Maybe!!!! Did you get extra top cupboards for the kitchen. The original plan doesn't include top cupboards. So we had to pay extra. You will enjoy the WIP/Fridge space. It's huge!!!! Have you done colour selections? Simonds Prague in MELB- All Moved In ;) 49Jul 12, 2014 1:43 pm Quick update ... Tiles are underway. !!! I couldn't get any good pics bcos the tiler didn't want me waking around. I have pics taken from outside but you can't see the tiles properly due the windows being dirty. I managed to get a few decent ones
