setting out problem

[poppy1234356]

good evening
wondered if any body would help
i am tiling my bathroom top to bottom , brick-bond ,with an 8 by 6 inch tile
and an inch and a half marble mosaic border
two walls are 5 inches lower than others because of two small sloping ceilings

setting out height wise i have good cuts everywhere except below window cill where the tile is an inch and a half
have tried all ways

the border looks good below window, if i moved it above. i would get a three inch cut on tile
the next available height for border is 4 foot seven inches

is an inch and half tile below window enough?

or would border 4 foot seven inches off floor look good?
i think both would look wrong
any ideas?

thanks cleve

could you not put in a 3 inch cut along window and build up the sill

[whitebeam]

Dot and dab some plasterboard to bring up the cill

[mikethetile]

where are you setting out from

is it a full tile off the floor , full tile off the bath

[timeless john]

The most important areas are the cuts above the bath and the cuts to the ceiling and floor - in that order.
Don't worry about a smal cut to the cill - its only 4/5 feet long and as others see if the cill can be increased to give an extra inch or so.

thanks brinkly
cill cannot go any higher
could put in three inch cut
need to know what height to put border so it would look good
looks best below cill height

[brinkley]

i would go above window sill height but without seeing the room cant really say

I didnt think it would be

A picture rail height border looks good as well..

[brinkley]

thanks quick replys
setting out gives me at least three quarters tile everywhere except below cill
cill cannot be raised
only 1inch of window frame showing , would be half inch after tiling

thats what I was asking

if you have equalised everywhere and have at least 3/4 cuts theres not a lot else you can do as unequel cuts will unbalance the setting out

its not unusual to have to compromise somewhere and under the cill wont look out of place

better than over the head of the window

will go for an inch and a half cut below cill
