    Unhappy How to cut tiles around an arched window

    Hi, I've been tiling for 9 months and have finally encountered an arched window. Any advice on getting a nice cut around the arch? (don't need to go inside it). Was going to nip some plastic corner trim until I could bend it around the arch but this is proving difficult as well. Window is 970 wide. Help!

    i would use pieces of paper cut the same size as the tiles and use them as templates for the curve for trim i would buy the homelux ctd sells or the tops trade trim as both are very flexible and just cut the back and bend around and hold in place with staples
