A few weeks ago I posted about a new tool I created – the Tile Layout Planner. I’ve received a lot of feedback about it! Most of it positive, except for that one guy – we’ll call him John Putzerooski.
That may or may not be a made up name.
His email is JP@Putz.com.

Anyway, the one thing that most people asked for was the ability to see more patterns. The initial planner included the basics – straight stacked, 1/3 and 1/2 offset. The three that comprise probably 80% of regular tile installations. So this one is for the other 20%.
This planner includes advanced patterns: diagonal, herringbone, basketweave, and windmill. Keep in mind that utilizing these patterns on your shower walls will require quite a bit of extra time, planning, cussing, and adult beverages. The result is normally worth it, if your heart is set on one of these patterns, just ensure you’re aware of what an absolute pain in the ass it can be to install them on vertical surfaces.
