Setting out for window - TilersForums.com

Evening, hope all is well.

Im Looking for a bit of advice regarding setting out on the window wall. Which ever way I play around with it I seem to have a sliver either at the window or both ends. I've attached a photo of the wall and a diagram with the measurements. It would be nice to know how you guys would tackle it. Tiles are 60cm x 20cm ceramics using 2mm spacers. Thanks in advance.

The diagram says the window is 1700mm wide, and the wall 1900mm, although the photo shows more than 100mm each side of the window.

Sorry my bad, it' been a long day. It's 117cm

Put a feature vertical band up the middle of the window wall with another tile size.... that is one option.

Are the tiles exactly 60 × 20? What are they like?

Looks the perfect excuse for closing cuts to me...full tile up each side of window cut to corners, filled in under and above window with a couple of tiles cut to 585 and polished up edges

They are 200mm x 595mm

Closing cuts would be perfect but those tiles aren’t the best for that with the edge they have

Exactly where I was going with my question!

Agreed with those bevelled edges, not really many other options though
