New floor tiles have arrived, they have wavy edges, the edges are different on each tile, but exactly the same shape on all the tiles, which leads to a couple of questions.
Do I lay the tiles with the same edges facing the same way ie; if I lay a tile with a particular shape on the right do I lay all the tiles the same way, which will mean all the tiles will have the same shape on left, front, and rear.
And what do you use to space the tiles as the edges are not straight.
Hope this make sense to someone because I know what I am trying say but this is not making a lot of sense to me

Re: Wavy edge tiles
I draw a straight line (or use a laser) and put the spacers square to this.
Then fit the tiles to the spacers as best as possible, this way it will look as square as possible when grouted and insure consistency, also mix all the edges up so it looks random.
Lay it out without adhesive first and see if you agree,
