Acute and obtuse external corners

**Spirit** · 01-12-2008

I have a bathroom to tile with a number of external corners that are greater than and less than 90deg. Anyone have any tips or tricks to make these corners easier?

mitres maybe your only way.

you could also cut the back of the tiles, sort of mitre them this would allow trim to sit right back on the angle.

Hi, without seeing the job, I would make the corners square , before I start to set Tiles.

externals greater than 90 should be ok with trim as tile face will be leaning into it, for acute angles, as oldgit says may have to rebate out of back of biscuit with angle grinder

This is around a pentagon shower tray. It is to be fitted with a 760 door and the 2 short sides (300mm) are to be tiled. This means that I will have an acute angle and an obtuse angle on each side of the door. (45deg and 135deg)
