Tile pattern layout for 12x24 tiled

dancingdeer

My tiler is starting to lay my tile in a 70/30 split.

The first pic shows what he has done so far.

Shouldn't the tiles be in a continual stagger pattern, as opposed to lining up in every other row? I've included a photo of how I think they're supposed to be installed.

Thoughts?

    The layout is really not random this is how it should look

      I personally like the way he is laying your tile; you're the customer, so he would likely go with what you like. You have to be happy with it at the end of the day.

      Yep. I have googled up images for tile patterns for these size tiles, and have yet to see them laid this way. Of course this is at my second home, and I'm not there!!

      Hi---yes, it can be done this way---as it's more modern. If that's not the look you're going for, then tell him to stop and stagger every plank. Hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

      I have to agree with you dancingbear, the 12x24 plank style tile are very difficult pattern to work with. With thinking of a 5" plank wood flooring you make the pattern random with side by side butt edges no less then 6" apart. Personally I do not care when all the butt edges aligns up. Bottom line, an installer or tile sales person can recommend a pattern, but in the end it your decision.

      Patricia - the other picture I shared is the same pattern as what you posted.

      I've decided to let him continue with the pattern he started. I talked to my designer friend, Debra Owens, and she said this is a better application (Broken Joint) for a smaller space, and with this size of tiles.

      Also, although my tiles are Bedrosians Simply Modern, Dal-Tile also recommends this pattern for their 12 x 24 tiles.

      Thanks for everyone's comments!

      What @Patricia Colwell suggests above, is a similar approach to what we/I would do in a hardwood pattern for example. A three tier layout.

      It has a nice, ALMOST random look that doesn't set up such a radical looking "pattern".
      Won't appear so "blockish". Unless, of course, that appeals to you.

      Most floor guys will push for the simpler approach because it makes their jobs just a little bit easier.

      It's Bedrosians Simply Modern, 12 X 24. I can't recall the color name...think it is Grey. Will have to check.

      It does come in many colors... Here is the same tile in another of my baths.

      Your tile looks beautiful! We are planning a similar 12x24 tile and the manufacturer recommends laying at a minimum of thirds. The reason is because the tiles are somewhat cupped. Laying them staggered at half can result in the edges not being flush or even. One of my contractor's main guys said he laid tile that specified thirds in a brick pattern and he regrets it and would not recommend it. My contractor says you can get away with it on the walls, but he does not recommend to do on the floor unless the manufacturer specifies it can be done.

      As someone who lays tile I will typically "Dry Lay" the tiles for the customer to preview. That way there is no issue about pattern. Some sizes of tile will need to be laid a certain way in order to prevent "Lippage" That's because typically larger tiles will have doming whereas they do not lay flat.

      If you look at your tiles from the other direction your tile is like the picture you posted. It is correct.

      I see what you mean, it is different from the other pic.

      I agree with you. It is called 1/3 offset and I agree that only doing one row 1/3 and not the second row looks wrong.

      This is more correct than doing a 50/50 brick joint pattern. Lippage is problematic in long tiles so any over 18" should be in "thirds" to decrease

      Appreciate all the insight on this! Very helpful.

      The first pic is a true 70/30… the second pic is not, it‘s 1/3 offset. The reason the two rows repeat on a 70/30 pattern is because the third row will throw off the pattern. You can actually see this in the picture with the toilet
