Expand From the left hand (wet room) corner it's two full tiles then a cut one abutting the mosaic. So I can't really mirror with the rhs.
Onoff Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 (edited) Happy then with the; window, "door" and bath walls. Just got to figure where the thermostatic shower valve is going and the pockets on the wc wall. Still need to pick a valve and rainfall head. Just remembered, I was going to arch the top of the pockets. I suppose really I should sort the ceiling...downlights, body dryer and decide whether I'm skimming it or taping and jointing... BEFORE the tiles! Edited December 31, 2017 by Onoff

Expand I'll put the kettle on........... Thats going to create a LOT of work, and some ridiculously difficult cuts. Plus, imo, will go out of 'fashion' before the grout dries ??

Onoff Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Luckily thick skin is one of my many virtues! So pockets, bit of a quick cheat on the model rather than making more MDF dust but it gives me an idea. Thinking two lit pockets on this wall as I've a good few inches depthwise. Not sure whether the pockets would be better next to the mosaic. This would allow the shower mixer / riser to go on that strip of tiles next to the pocket. I was though thinking of the whole "you don't want to get wet turning it on / remote mixer" thing. Tricky this! Probably need to see this in context with the big pocket above the wc...
Nickfromwales Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Damn your thick skin......we were hoping to have broken you by page 34 . The whole "I don't want to get wet turning the shower on" thing is just a load of bollo...... You turn the shower head to one side and then flick the switch. You also don't want to be dripping on the non sloped floor when adjusting the valve from head / handset / temp etc, so I'd actively put the valve wiring the confines of the wet floor area. Jump the pockets up a tile high each. The bottom one is too low.

Could drop down to two tiles which would be 400w x 500h? Made a faux pas somewhere! In reality that wc outlet is positioned dead centre of the two studs which are nom. 500mm between faces ( for the Geberit frame). On the model they're 450 apart! The moral being don't measure with a (mild) hangover! Edited December 31, 2017 by Onoff
Onoff Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 A bit of reconfiguring: Three pockets didn't really work. It put the height of the "shelves" of the two right hand pockets at 700 and just over 1600 - too high and too low! Two pockets giving shelf heights at 1200mm seems better: Couldn't resist mocking up a shower (& flush plate) but tbh I think it's the best place for it (the shower) on the other wall:

Onoff Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Hmm... OK pockets 1 course taller and moved 2 up: Or 1 course taller and moved just one course up: It was a good few years ago that a night on the tiles New Years Eve meant something else!
Nickfromwales Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 The latter. Looks much better and if tall enough you can put a glass divider to double the shelf space. 1

Thinking if we ever need to shower in a wheelchair or sit on a chair. A lower shelf would put shampoo, shower gel etc within reach. Like the divider idea, I'll play with that.

Onoff Posted December 31, 2017 Author Posted December 31, 2017 Just playing with the floor tile layout. Nice to print off the CAD wet room corner to scale and it fitted. The wet room area has spacers but the rest doesn't so is slightly off:

Onoff Posted January 1, 2018 Author Posted January 1, 2018 Can't decide whether to tile in the cupboard or not. It'll have a linen basket taking up the lower half then shelves above. The stub wall will have the "magazine", stacked loo roll dispenser. Other than tiles it'd be plastered.
Tennentslager Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 I assume you are putting a door on it? If so just paint it...more money left for Cider!

Onoff Posted January 3, 2018 Author Posted January 3, 2018 And tonight we're back to discussing whether to mitre the corner or not! Just realised the pocket's are a tile too high! I reckon if I go for a tile width on the mitre I can go two full tiles either way if I maybe widen the mosaic strips a tad.
