tiling
In geometry, the hexagonal tiling or hexagonal tessellation is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane, in which exactly three hexagons meet at each vertex. It has Schläfli symbol of {6,3} or t{3,6} (as a truncated triangular tiling).
English mathematician John Conway called it a hextille.
The internal angle of the hexagon is 120 degrees so three hexagons at a point make a full 360 degrees. It is one of three regular tilings of the plane. The other two are the triangular tiling and the square tiling.

Hi there - just some quick advice if possible though I suspect the answer will be a plumber! I have been renovating our ensuite and removed the radiator - copper pipes from wall with standard valves etc, but of course tiling now means the valves no longer line up having added around 6mm. There...

Anyone have experience of these boards?

Some of the blokes on there really have got a bee in the bonnet about...
Oohh they really hate us plumbers on there, or at least one or two do. I browse around the forum but never post up pictures as I know they will pick up on the slightest little fault and rip you down.
