is it just me or are dookits/ niche,s becoming more popular , i find them a total pain arse

They are getting more popular and admittedly they are a major pain in the ***. Cut straight or mitred.

Especially when a niche or window ain't square which is like 98% of the time

Completely kitch if u ask me!

U do know u can use the trim this way also and I think it's a more subtle look.

I am assuming you cut them straight kyle? To be fair it looks good that way aswell. Just goes to show, more than 1 way to skin a cat :-D

It takes a bit more thought to use the trim this way, I do like the look but, it's a bit back to front from a tiling perspective, you almost need to tile the reveal before the face to get the trim flush. What grout have you used by the way? Looks very patchy. Mapei?

Its easy once you get the hang of it Bri. I do all my trims this way as i find it more subtle. Just go passed the reveal about 12mm,or more if window out, cut trims and use just a little silicone or tape to hold in place till you tile the reveals.

Marble best, no trims needed!

all the trims mitred . and fitted both ways i prefer the trim face not shown , last couple of jobs , there were 6 in the last bathroom i done , all the trim was bought from porcelanosa so it was a real pain to cut,

I might just have to give it a go the next time........like you say subtle and looks a damn sight easier.
