how to install floor tile in a diamond pattern?

I'm installing 13x13 floor tile on a slab. Any tips on how to do it right

If your not overly familiar with doing tile a diagonal isn t the easiest to start on.
Lay out and proper tools are a big help in your preplanning. Right size trowel and large enough wet saw and had cutter is a must.
Get the longest straight site line and split the room in 1/2 with a chalk line. Lay tile back to the wall and figure the size of pc(pcs) you need. You can cut a few of these pcs as a starting point. Knowing you split the room you should be equal when you get to the other side.
A perfect straight edge will help keep your lines straight. Use this on all sides as you build out from that wall and lay as though your doing a straight lay just that your on a 45 degree.
Or if you are doing an open ended area , you can cut several tiles in 1/2 and work back. A bit trickier but overall look is better. Don t cut tiles directly in 1/2, you must cut just off center if this is a starting point. Very hard to do and takes experience.
Any specific questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL
