Can large tiles slope down to trench drain in bathroom?

Hi All,


First of all, have to say this is a fantastic forum, I've been looking for a forum like this for some time!

I am about to start a bathroom renovation. The bathroom is small (1.75m x 2.36m) and I would like to use large tiles (300mm x 600mm). Now I know that it would be a nightmare to get the tiles fitted correctly to slope down to a central waste in the shower cubical, so was wondering if the following is an acceptable solution...

Would running a trench drain the length of the shower and having the tiles slope down towards this be acceptable? i.e. do not have a central waste in the shower, only the trench drain?
This way would not have to cut large tiles to be able to slope down towards and meet at a central waste.

Would there be any problems with this approach?

Thanks in advance!


Seb
