    Hi
    I have not posted anything for a while now but still read the forum on a regular basis. It's very informative and you get a lot of great tips and help.
    I have a bathroom to do in marble (44m2) but it has a port hole window in gable end (window is 0.6 m in dia) and the customer wants it tiled around and into the window . Any tips on how to do with a good finnished edge.Trying to convince customer to put chrome edging around diameter of window.

    Alternatively you could cut the face marble to the circular shape of the porthole and using equal size strips to tile the inside reveals with a polished rounded edge onto the front face.
