hi guys, got a job to put right from a previous tiler who used to work for the company i do work for now . the problem i have is 2 windows either side of a wall with a curved glas extracter. the wall is tiled full height where the extracter goes ,but either side of the windows are only tiled up to three tiles into the reveals. how would you be able to get your trim to look right round the reveals and up the wall with extractor on, as this would have to be flush with the edge of the wall. what the other guy did isn`t worth talking about just looks a mess
i hope i have explained ok any advise would be greatfull

many thanks John

use genesis trims to get an even finish

dont know if i have explained properly Brian, how can the trim going up flush to the edge of the wall full height where the extactor is, cover the tile going into the reveal

I would set the trim on the extractor wall back by about 20 to 30 mm from the window reveal this will allow for a return mitre to the trim to be returned into the reveal...........good luck..........
