The herringbone was set out from the centre line of the shower, so the pattern is symmetrical on both sides of the window.

How the work is done
A controlled sequence, not guesswork on the wall.
Every stage is checked before the next begins — the finish is only as good as the work underneath it.
- 01
Assess the substrate
Check flatness, junctions, fixtures and wet-area readiness before the layout is committed.
- 02
Set out the complete room
Balance tile courses and control visible cuts, corners and transitions.
- 03
Fix and align
Maintain adhesive transfer, consistent joints and alignment across adjoining surfaces.
- 04
Finish and inspect
Complete grout, movement joints, silicone and a final cleaning check.
