Boxing In

[FreeD]

Alright

Not sure how what the best way to tackle 'boxing in' in pic, so that grout line is continuous onto next wall, tiles don't slip down and so that i can install a plastic trim at same time?

thanks

Aaron

ignore what i wrote, i thought that the boxing in needed doing, what i clicked on the pic, the boxing in was done (blended into the colour of the plaster)

wetdec is correct, i am

Continue the tile through as if it was 1 (cut the 3 pieces out of 1 tile)

Batten accross for the 1st cut and work up when gone off remove batten put in trim and 3rd cut using nails instead of batten this will allow the trim to run through to the floor

@ TB Uhhh ?


Personally I would of started with the window wall

What substrate are you tiling to there..?...

[wetdec]

Its thistle / multi coat can see over run at bottom of boxing Dave me thinks tho the way its drying looks over ply

Wetdec yep i agree but theres a few reasons why i didn't start on that wall...its also my first job

so much i've learnt from this one! so much i'll do differently on next! although its looking good so far.

Kind of understand what u r saying but how do u install trim when adhesive has gone off? the stuff i have slides under tile.

thanks

it look like sand and cement to me??? difficult to tell really
