is this in a bathroom? Your idea sounds good The tile guys probably did what was easiest. They should have discussed this with the owner when they saw how the tile would lay out. Why are you involved exactly?

 

Yes it's a restroom, we are remodeling them I'm hanging the new drywall after they demo the old tile. I'm also installing the new restroom partitions in all the bathrooms so I'm there about everyday.

 

This one was pretty steep, didn't take very long..

 

That's is exactly what I'm talking about, not saying it would turn out that same pattern but you all will get the idea. Just something that looks like there was some thought tht went into it.

 

Sorry I just realized that I had put down that they laid the 23"by 16", those are on the wall. The floor is 12"by 12" so that should make it a little easier.

 

I like Steve's way. Unfortunately the vast majority of floor drains in commercial bathrooms look like a bling man with no thumbs laid the tile. It's usually just right cut with a grinder and never matches the hole.

 

It's usually just right cut with a gender and never matches the hole.

Man, I ain't gonna touch that one.......

Pie cuts are sort of commercial production as you've all seen the quality of their product and workmanship, so why would they float a floor to get any slope right? It's flatwork, so set to the plumbers square then pie it in--done, now where's my check? Mops and/or squeegees can handle any flow issues..

edit...whoops, no costing allowed.

 

I couldn't agree more!! I'm not saying it could have looked as sharp as the one above cause it may not have ended up right in the center, but it could have looked way better than it does. Atleast make it look like you care about the final product.

 

Yeah.. That was a small laundry so I laid it out off the drain

 

I would post up some pictures but I can't figure out how to do it. I don't know what they figured out I'm trying to stay out of it but would like it to look like it belongs in the building it's in. They are spending alot of money doing the tile. And remodeling most of building, I'm not sure how you can leave a job like that and feel good.

Then if they're not happy with it, they need to tell the GC or if they are playing GC, they need to tell the tile sub. Fixing/repairing/altering other people's work that you don't know anything about isn't a good idea. There's a reason it's the way it is--design/cheap.

 

If the customer wants to hose clean the whole bathroom floor, then whole floor needs to be done as a giant shower pan. Not that difficult if panned ahead, at this point it, I am not sure what can be done without huge expense other than trying to make it look just in that area.
Look at my deck project, those lines are there because of sloping two ways.

 

They will never hose clean the floor, the only time they would need a drain is in the event of a flooded toilet or broken water line for the sink. That's why I would have just leveled it up cause a 1" deep slope 18" around the drain does nothing for draining the room.

 

Lets see if I did this right so you can see what im looking at.
