Doing a hip-to-gable with vertical tiling and made what is probably a rookie error, need some advise how best to resolve.
I've centered the tiles to the roof apex. Starting from the bottom and now reached window height. This window is (intentionally) off centre by ~30mm.
Now finding I can get a the tiles to the left of the window inline, on-bond with no probs. But the tiles on the right do not line up with the tiles below - off by 30mm.
After some head scratiching, I think there are 3 options:
1) Align tiles / tile half to window and be dammed with matching the bond of the tiles below (but still having 1/3 side lap) (euggh)
2) Use a cut-down tile and half to have a 'wide' tile that fills the 30mm on each row
3) Cut down the tile at the window by 30mm on each row and use an extra tile-and-half
Can anyone help with suggestions how best to get around this problem? Thanks very much.
P.S. - the tile next to the flashing is just for position - it'll be replaced by a tile and half
