Cant decide whether to brick or not?

[Chris W]

Near enough every bathroom ive done in past few years ive either 50/50 bricked or part bricked (cos of the bow in the tiles)
Cuatomers got these from wickes...
They got a bow but they a quality tile, nice and square..
No borders, just floor to cieling in a wet room..
Whats people's opinions these days?

i do not like to see large bowed tiles laid in a brick bond. it shows the bow off to much .

 

[Dollar]

Would make a nice change for me.. Gotta get em bang on though but me battens dead flat and they a good tile...

They look good stacked, gives a more modern look but check your walls/ceiling not out or you can loose your joint. Thin joint would look good too.

Yeh im beginning to think the reason the bricking became popular is because its easier to lose a run out...

I like both tbf, but if customers provided the tiles and they're warped, then I won't do a brick bond. Can add a bit of something if the tiles really plain I suppose.

If you need to shower on a seat like that you don’t care what way round the tiles are

Yes mate. New ones though, of course. This is a communal shower room at a residential care home i do some work for. Doesn't get massive use, but needed a facelift.
