ᐅ Do you place importance on the joint cut?

Created on: 13 Jan 2020 20:57

Hello everyone,
We had a construction meeting today with our tiler.

Unfortunately, my wishes cannot be realized...

We will have 120x60cm (47x24 inches) tiles in the bathrooms, both on the walls and on the floor.
I would like continuous grout lines (from wall to floor), but also as many large or full tiles as possible.
Unfortunately, this plan doesn’t work in our bathroom. In the middle of the bathroom, there would be narrow tile pieces about 20 to 30cm (8 to 12 inches) wide.

How do you handle this? Do you prioritize a uniform grout joint from wall to floor?
Or do you give up on that in favor of better tile layout on the floor?

I’m really torn...

I don’t want to do the entire homework for you, so I’ve just marked three possible reference points, each intended as the position of a joint intersection:

Floor plan: Bathroom with bathtub on the left, washbasin on the right, door arch.

Oh, there should be a solution for that... But considering that the joint cut seems to be important, the room was really not well designed for it.

The room was not designed for that either.
Unfortunately!

I only thought of the joint cut after all the plumbing work was already completed... UNFORTUNATELY!

As the saying goes: next time, it will be different...

Where does the trauma come from that the bathroom’s appeal depends on joints running along the wall-floor boundary?
If necessary, use a less contrasting joint color so that this supposed disaster fades more into the background.
Have you already tried testing with my three zero points a bit to see if you would be satisfied with the result?

I somehow convinced myself that it was a trauma. I am afraid that I will regret later not having done it...

I would consider the "fear" that you might not like it for long more justified: especially with strong contrasts between the grout and tile colors, I, as a non-masochist, would never think of covering the surrounds of a comfort space with a 3D grid. The large checkered pattern somehow reminds me of YPS, even though it is not light blue with yellow grout.
