Pocster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 This is the same tile . It’s aligned I.e edge is straight - but to line pattern would push it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) No, sorry, could not live with that. That’s a bit like wallpaper with the pattern not lining up. ? Edited October 27, 2020 by joe90 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Right! Found a photo of them from the showroom . They run them horizontally. It’s hard to tell but I bet they add a mm or take a mm out to line them up . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pocster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 I’ll have to live it . My grout lines being inline more important. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe90 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Perhaps it’s me but that’s not acceptable in my book, sorry, don’t mean to rain on your parade but I would be getting in touch with Tile Flair about that (before the glue goes off!!!,!).

Mr Punter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 OK the showroom has laid the tiles correctly. You have not. Your top tile need rotating 180 deg. So does the bottom one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 The tiles have double and single width stripes. They need to butt up to the same width stripes, then you know it is the correct way round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wozza Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have to agree with the majority, something just aint right and it would annoy my OCD. Take them all off and clean off the adhesive, then play around to see if they can be made to line up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see any order Took the highest tile off and cut it they other way round ( only 2 possibilities ) neither line up - but one is ‘better’ than the other . Tried other boxes aswell - same issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Punter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Maybe Uncle Nick tiled the showroom? If they don't work either way, take them back and get something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don't work either way, take them back and get something else. Yeah but some are stuck on the fing wall ? Have emailed the showroom . Going to clear a space and try and do a vertical line on the floor - ffs !!! Strangely I do get the ‘random’ line up ! I bet their horizontal grout lines vary in width to solve this in the fing showroom .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pocster Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Right TileFlair manager called me. She was very good actually. This title simply does not line up. Manufacturers are allowed a 3mm +/-. She was happy for me to change tiles for something single coloured or the same design but paler i.e. so it would be less obvious. She did confess that no-one does it vertically - so I am truly DA MAN! Even so, she opened whilst I was on the phone; a different batch number and laid them out on the floor - exactly the same issue. Can I live with it???. Her only suggestion to get the effect I want was to use mosaics ( on that yucky mesh stuff - where you've got to be spot on when you bed it! ) Kindly she sent me photo's of their in store displays - also stating no one has ever mentioned it - ( I've got fecking OCD now haven't I - caught it from you twats !)

Gav_P Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 If you opened all the boxes are there collections of patterns that match (have the same misalignment)? you could at least then group them into rows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
