If you look at the pictures closely you will notice that the tile lines slowly step across as you go across the wall. The tiles aren't the same size so the grout lines would never line up. As soon as the tiler lays one grout line across the floor and up the wall it will become painfully obvious that they don't line up on the next tile and will just look worse as you go across. He has skillfully avoided that by staggering the joins. So much so that none of you noticed that they were different. Imagine when the tiling turns back on the return wall, the tiles are rectangular so will be even more of a challenge. Once it's grouted it won't look anywhere near as obvious. The only way around it is to buy wall and floor tiles from the same manufacture. That way the tiles are most likely made to be able to line up. Even if you buy 600x300 tiles they may actually be 598x298 and 600x300 from a different manufacturer. Again you will run into trouble if you try and line up the grout lines. The day's of lining up tile lines is pretty much gone as people opt for varying sizes and manufactures for floor and wall. With large format and rectified tiles the grout lines are minimal so it really isn't a big issue. good pick Chippy. Looking at the offset between the first and last tile, i can see now that the tiles are a different size. Re: Bathroom Floor and Wall tiles alignment 10May 09, 2020 1:21 pm You can only match same size tiles to the mm in size. Other than that you go completely different. 1.5mm wall and 3mm floor is bs, you can do whatever you want anywhere. I think it look pretty neat, clearly different sizes as raised by chippy Registered Building - Always happy to help where I can and simply loves the game. DM me if you need help in VIC. Possibly both depending on the sizing. Idea of working from the centre is that you dont have a 20mm thin tile at one end and a 400mm at the other end.
