Browse Forums Flooring & Floor Covering 1 Jun 03, 2013 11:04 pm Hi all, Wondering if you can give me your opinions. Here is a rudimentary version of our floor plan. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The hallway, open plan area, bathroom and laundry will all have the same wood look ceramic tile as flooring. I'm trying to work out the best direction to lay them in. As you can see, the dilemma is that if you (a) lay them longways in the hallway, they follow on as horizontal in all other rooms. If you lay them (b) sideways in the hallway they look kind of chunky like this Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Then there is the possibility of (c) laying them longways in the hallway and then changing direction to lay them longways in the other rooms as well. Would love input of a, b or c to help me decide or if you come up with another way of doing it I'd love to hear that too. Thanks guys.

I think the open living area is big enough to carry the tiles running sideways plus won't some areas of floor be covered with furniture or possibly a rug? Personally I don't think it matters as much in the bathroom and laundry. Good luck with your decision.

I always advise my clients to treat the tile like timber. If that was a real timber floor what direction would you pick? I would go with the "A" option as well. Also note when you lay them do not overlap the tile more than 200mm. Some manufacturuers specify an overlap no more than 15% of the length - just check with your supplier. Regards We are tossing up between a Jarrahdale radiant wood fire (the Pioneer) and a convection wood fire (Innovator or Countryman) but cannot decide on which type of wood fire is… 0 5247 yeah i couldnt picture it issue either, but i could clearly picture what they were doing wrong haha 2 5289 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 11569 |
