Hi,
I haven't fixed herringbone pattern since the eighties so don't have much idea how long to allow for a job. Can anyone say how much longer percentage-wise this pattern takes verses straight tiling? The job in question is feature bathroom walls if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance.

I would say it takes at least twice as long as normal tiling...
This job was 15 m2 and took me about 4 and a half days...

tiles set on a diagonal look far nicer and are slightly easier to fix when set in a border as you can see with the picture Andy put up.

Hi! Can see you put an extra row of tiles at the top of your herringbone, am thinking of putting a black box trim on the top of my beveled metro white tiles (herringbone) with grey grout - in your opinion will this work?

Is herringbone tile hard to install?

The herringbone pattern is just as easy to lay as any other pattern, it is just more time consuming. However the end result is definitely worth the patience and time as the pattern can make any ordinary subway tile or wood plan style tile look completely different.

Do you need more time for a herringbone pattern?

A specialty shape or a pattern, like Herringbone for example, will require far more cuts than a Straight Set or Offset pattern. We generally like to recommend that you order a 15% overage, but 20% is a safer bet if you are going more geometric. Tile Shown: Foggy morning in 2x6 Herringbone Pattern.

Is it more expensive to lay herringbone?

Is herringbone floor more expensive? Installing herringbone flooring is generally more expensive than installing traditional wood flooring. This is because it is a labour-intensive process that requires an expert fitter.

How much more does it cost to do herringbone tile?

Additionally, more complex patterns require more labor, and time = money. A diagonal pattern usually adds on $2 to $4 per square foot on top of a base rate. Herringbone and other patterns add an additional $2 to $4 per square foot, depending on the complexity of the pattern.
