    Does anybody have any quickish ways to set out your herringbone? I was doing a job this week in amtico teak with a 1 tile perimeter, a long narrow hallway leading onto a kitchen, I spent about 2 hours loose laying the tiles, checking cut sizes everywhere, before deciding on my start line, surely there must be a quicker way, If there is I was never taught it because I didnt do a herringbone design until id been working with amtico for about 6 years??

    That looks like a lot of time I put a straight line down anywhere place 2 planks down and measure between end points corner to corner and use that as reference for the line I ping and work off. In big areas you will always get a couple of little bits its just trying to minimise them. What's the amtico signature? Done some last week in a small bathroom was quite impressed with it compared to there spaca rubbish.
