Which Order To Tile In

[tonis]

Hi folks just in the process of planning a full bathroom renovation to include new suite,wall and floor tiles, having read various posts regarding tiling a couple of questions if i may.

1-Do i tile the wall first then butt the floor tiles up to the wall,or tile floor first and wall tiles on top,pro's and con's of either please or is it just simply down to personal preference

2-Is it best to tile the walls and floor first before the suite is fitted or fit the suite and tile around the fittings

This chestnut has only just been debated:

I would always do floors first.

1. Floors first is good for the edges, however, once youve done the floor it gets very dirty whilst tiling the walls on it, even if you cover it.

2. In an ideal world a tiler would love an empty room, no cuts and let the guys that need to cut through.

However not always a good idea, as the guys that need to cut through do break tiles from time to time.
