    Default Where to start

    I have 2 walls to tile using 600mm x 300mm in brick pattern, one of the walls has a window reveal. My question is do I tile horizontally from the centre of the reveal to the corner where the next wall starts? If I do this when I reach the corner I end up with about a 70mm needing to be cut of a full tile meaning I cant us full and half tiles in the corner. The other option is to tile from the corner out but then the window reveal wont be centred?

    i tend to carry the same brickbond pattern onto the reveal, depending how much of the tile is on the wall. i.e. if less that half tile then wrap it over, if more than half tile, then set them brickbond. if that makes sense!

    you dont need to have full and half tiles in the corners but it is best to go round the corner in a 'full tile' i.e 3/4 and a 1/4 or a 1/3 and 2/3. this will continue the design round the corner.
