Wood Grain Tiles Orientation

[v1hypersg 0]

hi,

just went to look at wood grain tiles,

how should it be laid,

should it be perpendicular to window or parallel to window ?

can anyone advise ?

Seems like i am always late in catching interesting topics. But never mind, just talk for the sake of it....

In the first place, it is how you want the space to look like. Although there are some rules of the thumb, but they are not really casted in stone.

OK. If the space is sqauarish, it's a lot easier as to whichever direction you want the wood grains to orientate. However, if the space is longish, or rectangular, let the grains fololw the long side, and that would create a continuous flow. If you do it otherwise, the whole floor looks like a piece of chop board. Again, there is no hard and fuzz rule because if the idea behind and the complementary elements are there, the chop board can look beautiful too.

i agree with 70wood.

for wooden tiles. just go with the longer side to make your room as big / long as possible.

make sure to arrange in staggered pattern or it will look funny as well

Agreed whith what 70wood mentioned. We chose textured wood ceramic tiles which are rectangular and longer than the standard length. Therefore, we had our tiles laid out parallel to the windows of our home. It would be very odd if it was laid out in a vertical angle..
