Tip from the trade

Use tiles from one batch (the batch/shade is printed on the pack) — otherwise the colour difference shows on the wall.

How we calculated

Ceiling height 2.5 m, one door, walls tiled to the ceiling. 300×600 mm tile on the walls, 300×300 mm on the floor, straight lay, 10% cutting allowance.
