Hello,
we are currently building (or having partly done) a house. In the bathroom, we have just added an interior wall made of Ytong blocks. Unfortunately, we only noticed now that it is not exactly parallel to the opposite wall over a length of about 3m (10 feet), with a deviation of around 3cm (1.2 inches).
I think this will cause problems when tiling, as the tiles will likely have to be laid in a wedge shape.
Do you perhaps know a trick or a way to disguise this? The plasterer probably won’t be able to even it out, right?
Best regards.

I believe a skilled tiler can still manage the floor tiles even if they are laid straight. A 3cm (1.2 inches) deviation is still within tolerance, even if it were a professionally built wall. Of course, it also depends on the length. A 3cm (1.2 inches) difference over 50m (164 feet) is more significant than the same difference over 2m (6.5 feet). You just need to make the tiler aware of the issue. It can be disguised, for example, with baseboards and/or a wider silicone joint.
I wouldn’t see this as a big deal 😎
