@luc_construction: ✅ Follow @built.to.code for more tips on home renovation! Starting from the wrong spot is the #1 reason why even good tile jobs look bad. Here’s exactly what to do instead. THE PROBLEM: Most people just start laying tile from a corner or a wall. Big mistake. This leads to: ∙ Crooked cuts along the edges ∙ Uneven gaps that catch your eye ∙ A floor that looks tilted even when it’s not ∙ Wasted tiles from bad planning THE SOLUTION - 3 SIMPLE STEPS: Step 1: Find Your Center Line Walk to your doorway (the main entrance to the room). Find the exact middle of it. Use a pencil and a long straight board to draw a line from that middle point all the way across the room. This is your starting line. Why the doorway? Because that’s what people see first when they walk in. If it looks straight there, the whole floor looks perfect. Step 2: Do a Dry Layout Before you mix any glue or cut anything, lay your tiles on the floor WITHOUT sticking them down. Just place them how they’ll go. Start from your center line and work outward. See how they fit. Check the edges. Look at where you’ll need to cut tiles. Step 3: Adjust Before It’s Too Late Don’t like how a cut looks? Move your starting line a bit. See a weird gap? Shift everything slightly. This is your chance to fix problems when it’s easy - before any glue is involved. THE RESULT: A floor that looks professional. Even cuts on both sides. No surprises. No regrets. Save this guide. Share it with anyone doing tile work. Follow for more tips that actually help. #TileInstallation #HomeRenovation #RenovationVancouver #VancouverHomes
