2.3Laying Out The Job Site Using Centiva Classic And Event Series Tiles or Slabs
Carefully determining where to begin your tile installation results in the most professional looking job. Always try to end up with at least half a tile at each wall for best appearance.
Follow these steps:
Figure 1.
1.Treat the room as rectangle, disregarding offsets, alcoves, etc. Find the center points of the two end walls and strike a chalk line between them.

2.4 Diagonal Layout For Centiva Classic And Event Series Tiles Or Slabs
Extra measurements and guidelines are needed for diagonal installations. A sketch is useful for any complicated installation. Follow these guidelines for diagonal installations:
Figure 1.
1.Divide the room into equal quarter sections and adjust the same way you would for normal installations.
Figure 2.
2. Find the center of the chalk line, using
Figure 3
3. Starting in center of room where the two chalk lines intersect, loose lay several tiles in a row to one end of wall and a second row to a sidewall. Measure distance from last tile to wall. If it is less than half a tile, move centerline on half a tile nearer the opposite wall. Do this in both directions.
2.Measure and mark a point 4’3” from the center point on each centerline. Snap a chalk line to connect the four new points.
3.Mark the midpoint on the new guidelines and snap another chalk line to its
opposite midpoint. These lines should intersect the original center point or the measurements will be incorrect.
4.Use the guidelines for the installation.
