Inside the guide
Five conversations
worth having.
- 01
Choose for your room
Tile size, material, finish and the way you will use the space.
- 02
Look beyond the middle
Setting out, awkward cuts, grout and the direction of a pattern.
- 03
Decide the finishing details
Mitres, trims, niches and the places where surfaces meet.
- 04
Understand the preparation
The questions to ask about backgrounds, waterproofing and the quotation.
- 05
Bring your brief together
A practical checklist for your supplier and installer.
One question to start with
Where will the cuts fall?
A tile can look quite different once it meets a window, a doorway or the edge of a niche. Ask to see the proposed setting out before installation begins.
