That's an impressive layout, particularly how the tile corners meet the
border without any of the tips having to be cut.

Hello Toby,

It looks great (if I do say so myself). However it took a LOT of planning to
millimetre accuracy and on closer inspection you would find that the borders
on each side of the room are slightly different widths to allow the
diagonally cut half tiles to work out correctly. Also I had just had a VERY
amusing quote for supply and fit so I was determined to do a good job of it
myself to avoid the embarrassment of having to go back, with my tail between
my legs, to the local pro fitter if I cocked it up.

See my older post at:

.... where I reveal my secret (which was finding some very useful info on the
Amtico site on how to plan this type of layout).

Actually the link in there to the Amtico interesting pages doesn't work any
more. However for your convenience I have just tracked down the information.
They have now made it available in a PDF file. You need to go to
www.amtico.co.uk and select "business". Then under Get Help (up the top)
then FAQ page then "Technical data sheets" (near the top of the screen) you
can download the PDF. It's called the US Technical Manual. NOTE this is not
the same as the similarly named PDF that lives on the "Advice""Technical
manual" page. This is a slightly cut down "glossy brochure" version that
seems to have some of this very useful layout information removed.

Regards,
Simon.
