Thank you for your enquiry. The tiles are of the same type, but the floor tiles are 450x450 and those on the wall 600x300. 450x450 enabled us to fit precisely 2 tile widths on the 900 square shower "tray" beneath (the tanking system has a tray with the drainage slopes formed into it which fits into, and flush with, the plywood subfloor). We prefer the look of rectangular tiles on walls so we opted for 600x300 in this case.
Thanks for your comment. For those looking to create a similar pattern for their shower waste, I should point out that some extra effort is required; but it's worth it. As I mentioned in the original response, the 900x900 "tray" beneath the tiles incorporates the drainage slopes, providing a natural fall (north, south, east and west) towards the waste when the tiles are laid. If you split a tile across its diagonal and lay the two halves on adjacent slopes, the geometry creates a tapering gap from one end to the other. You can test this for yourself by cutting a square piece of cardboard as described, then tilting the two halves towards each other. In order to achieve a straight grout line, the contractors had to hone the cut edges with a diamond tool until the gap was uniform.
