Its a personal taste thing mate.

I always say run the long edge with the direction you will be walking, if you understand

But I've just done a couple of 600x300 slate jobs, where both customers, coincidentally, have opted to tile brick bond across the width of the floor.....

No wrong or right way I suppose:smilewinkgrin:

Forgot to mention they will be 'brickbond' whichever way we decide.

So you haven't decided yet, but the tilers have fixed 20m2:yikes: You'll be popular if you change the direction from what they've fixed:lol::lol:

I assumed they had been given the go ahead as they had been waiting for a decision this morning

Ahhhh - just realised post 1 was only done 45 minutes ago, so they must have charged ahead this morning........

Not really a right or wrong way as such, depends a lot on the shape of the room, and where the doorway is. Some customers like to see the broken effect walking into the room, and others like to see the straight lines running. Personally, I prefer to lay the long side of the tile with the longer side of the room. Kitchens, I'd usually lay longways starting from the 'cooker unit' or whatever unit is against the back wall.

Some of the threads in the tiling forum that have had a lot of views are being bumped up into current discussion. Just walk on by if it's not your flavour right now. Perhaps it'll help somebody out one day, and they become members, and then they post a thread, and professional tilers respond, and then you learn something from them...? Maybe?
