Curved window recess - TilersForums.co.uk | Tile Forums

Hi all, I'm doing a job next week and there is something bothering me slightly.

The top of the window recess is curved and I'm wondering what is the best way to over come it. Should I be looking to try and square it off somehow? If so, what is the best option?

Any help is appreciated

I used to do port holes m8 there isnt an easy way you have to narrow your tiles to get them to bend. Have a chat with the punter and maybe you can make some sort of feature out of it. Just an idea bit diff when you cant see it.

Thanks wetdec I suppose I could follow the curve but I was hoping to square off the curved recess at the top to match the other 2 recesses which are square, the bottom of the window has a sill. The customer wants trims.

Do you think I could square it off with the tiles overhangng the curve so they meet at right angles to each other? Or maybe put some kind of corner piece over the curve with tile adhesive and tile over that?
