    Default Help tiling Angled wall

    Hello all !
    Got to do a job tiling a bathroom but come across a slight problem when marking out. The window wall runs up from the bath side about 10" then runs up and in to the ceiling at an angle. The question i am asking is how do you get the grout lines to run evenly round onto the next wall as the angle of the window wall throughs everything out, and the same again when tiling into the recess. I would really appreciate some help with this one.

    if i've understood you right! you would be better off making the walls level b4 you start instead of doing it when tiling! try filling and smoothing of the recess with rapid set adhesive

    The wall runs up and in at the same angle as the roof if you know what i mean with a dormer window.

    i did this not long ago, the grout lines on 2 sides of the room were hight, i basicly widened the grout lines towards the end of the other wall to compensate the fall,and made the other walls lines smaller.. hard to describe
