    Default Brickbond and window reveal help

    Hi fellas,

    My bathroom is coming along nicely with two out of four walls tiled thanks to all the great advice given on here This weekend i'm planning to tile the window wall but unsure how to tile inside the window reveal using a brickbond pattern.

    I'll be using an aluminium corner trim so i'm not sure if carrying the pattern around into the reveal will look good. What do you find works best? Should I just start a new half bond pattern inside the reveal?

    Thanks for the help

    for me...to carry on, I always continue with the brickbond, have seen cills and reveals that have just been tiled without the bond carrying on and they've looked awful..

    I think carrying on would be the obvious choice if using mitred corners but with an aluminium strip i'm not so sure...

    Why not try a couple in brickbond to get the idea of how it'll look.
    If you don't like it, whip 'em off the wall before adhesive sets.
