Good evening,
I’m looking for some suggestions for the tile pattern in my walk-in shower.
Since I have the linear drain installed diagonally in the corner, it’s been challenging to make this work in reality.
I managed to get the screed done quite well, thanks to this forum.
How would you lay the tiles in this shower?
The tiles measure 60 x 60 cm (24 x 24 inches).
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Hmm... but that would be even more complicated than my idea? The joint pattern would end up being diagonal.
Without a slope in the screed, I don't see where the drainage would come from at all.
So directly to @domi1990:
Did you install the screed level, or did you include a slope?
If there is a slope, from where to where does it run?domi1990 schrieb:
Since my channel is basically installed at an angle, I leveled it and then poured the screed from left to back where I’m standing, and from right to back as well.
I also created a slope from the left towards the channel.There is a slope. It just needs to be tiled properly—I would choose mosaic tiles...C

There is a slope. It just needs to be tiled appropriately – I would go for mosaic tiles... My bad. Overlooked/forgotten, thanks. That answers the question.

Honestly? Get a professional, anything else will be botched. I don’t see any slope integrated into the screed to the right or/and backwards at the tiled area near the shower.
However, that might be misleading. There is a slope present

So, directly to @domi1990:
I created a 2% slope from where I’m standing towards the shower drain.
Did you install the screed level, or with a slope?
If slope, from where down to where? I created a 2% slope from where I’m standing towards the shower drain.

If slope, from which point down to which point? I have a 2% slope from where I’m standing towards the drain.
Everything else was installed level.
Maybe it would be easier to use mosaic tiles, as they can adapt better?

Would it perhaps be easier to use mosaic tiles since they are easier to adjust?Then yes. I overlooked the screed slope, sorry.So do you have a 2% slope from where you are standing in the photo diagonally towards the drain? Or straight ahead towards the drain?

Then yes. I completely missed the screed slope, sorry.
So, do you have a 2% slope from where you are standing in the photo, sloping diagonally towards the channel? Or straight towards the channel?The slope is straight towards the channel, so parallel to the wall.C

The slope runs straight to the channel, so it is parallel to the wall.Up to a) the rear wall or
b) the start of the channel at the right wall?
If b) (which I assume), you can also tile continuously as planned, but you must of course have a joint exactly where the slope levels out again.
How are you planning to handle the wedge-shaped section where the glass partition will be installed?
