Do you value the joint cut?

Hello everyone We had a construction meeting with our tiler today. Unfortunately, my wishes cannot be realized... We are getting 120x60cm tiles in the bathrooms. On the walls and on the floor. I would like continuous (from wall to floor) grout lines, but also as many large or whole tiles as possible to be laid. Unfortunately, the plan for our bathroom does not work. In the middle of the bathroom, you would then have partly 20/30cm narrow tile pieces. How do you handle this? Do you value a uniform grout joint from wall to floor? Or do you forgo this for the sake of the floor installation? I am really conflicted...

Was an absolute must for us, I also like to look at it every day again. The installation is more difficult and time-consuming, but a good tiler has little trouble with it.

Continuously would not be necessary in my opinion. But an appealing joint cut. We had the topic with the facade...

We did not place much importance on the tiles, so I cannot speak from experience. But I think with such a format: If already, then already.

Why "in the middle"? – the basic problem (I think I have already addressed this in every one of my posts in large tile discussions) is that the larger the tile = the larger the joint spacing, the more difficult it is to place a "zero point." With today's "small" formats, for example, you choose the room center or an edge (such as the alignment line of a partition wall) as the zero point. In the second step, you decide whether a hypothetical layout of the room with a square grid produces the least "waste" in terms of "remainders" below a quarter increment when you place either A) a joint or better B) a tile center at the zero point. This method works worse when you increase the tile format (= joint spacing) without this also fitting the room dimensions. I hope I have made the root of your issue understandable for now. Is your problem possibly solvable with the approach that you insert a step in the grid pattern by placing a joint on both sides of a partition wall and then virtually drawing the thickness of the partition wall into the joint pattern? – this could perhaps be explained more concretely if you introduce your specific bathroom floor plan into the thread.

I will arm myself with the laser tonight and measure the bathroom precisely again and then post it here.

So would you accept a few smaller cut floor tiles for the sake of the joint cut?
