    Hi guys, when your fitting the 3 x 9 in a herringbone pattern, do you struggle to keep the tiles tight? Always starts fine but wants to creep out in certain sections? Any tips?

    Yeah don't rush it!
    How exactly are you fitting it? As in how many tiles wide are you fitting up and down the row?

    Fitting them row by row! How do you fit them?

    If your fitting in rows up and down the room which is the best way then it's normally slight deviations in the surface regularity knocking them out and also because there never cut 100% true by the manufacturer.

    Best way is to crack on and they catch them shelfs up and any gaps can be closed with a flat rounded screw driver or if it's getting bad take the last few out and start again by either skipping a block out and manipulating it back in later or lay a block with one corner slightly over lapping so the next block goes back in right.
    What ever works it can be trial and error but any thing can be sorted in the end
