Hello,

I chose elongated tiles for the shower that create vertical grout lines. Now the tiler has installed the tiles, but unfortunately they are not straight. When entering the shower, you can immediately see that the tiles are slanted. Is this a valid reason to file a complaint, or am I being too picky?
I am building through a developer who is managing multiple projects at the same time.
The final inspection is scheduled for November. I would like to know if there is a chance the tiles will be redone.

The vertical deviation of the grout lines from the plumb line ranges between 0.7° and 1.2°. I am attaching a photo. Unfortunately, the tiles are very "colorless," so the photo is not very impressive.

Is this meant seriously? Apart from the tiles pushing the limits of human taste to the extreme, I don’t see any discussion about a defect. This is craftsmanship.

It would be great if someone could provide a helpful and relevant answer. Craftsmanship doesn’t mean that something has to be visibly crooked. There are millions of well-tiled bathrooms and floors.
That you find the tiles "Bruns ugly" is irrelevant. That doesn’t matter.

I think the tiles look amazing, but the varying brightness levels would bother me.

Try measuring the grout lines from top to bottom over a length of 1 meter (3.3 feet), for example.

The photo does not accurately represent the tile color. In reality, it is hardly noticeable. The tiles are "Arrow Green Haltet." I think they look nice. That’s enough. They would look even better if the vertical grout lines did not deviate up to 1.2° from the vertical. Unfortunately, this is also hard to see in the photo. But in real life, anyone seeing the bathroom for the first time notices it. Unfortunately, only the tiler does not.

Yes, it doesn't matter to me whether I like the tiles or not, but if you mention 0.7 degrees Celsius (1.3°F), you should understand that this is absolutely acceptable in any kind of craftsmanship.
