split face tiles skirting board or not - Tile Advice

kruger · Feb 18, 2018

Hello,
with the help on here i managed to top to bottom tile 2 bathrooms a couple of years ago.many thanks
im now stuck again.i am tiling my dining room with split face tiles.doing one wall as a feature wall. my question is skirting boards????..
if i tile to the top they look thin and not very good
if i stick on after with the splitface style you can get big gaps to the back of the skirting board.
thought of packing out the skirting board a bit to make it look neater
anybody got any ideas??
cheers

I think you have answered your own question, either pack the skirting of the wall or tile to the floor.

Hi I did a feature wall with split face slate tiles last year. The customer wanted the tiles to go from floor level to the ceiling which looked fine. Used small wedges to tweak the tiles as they varied slightly in size and being truly square. Also did a random bond so that you couldn't see the individual tiles.

The spot lights were a bugger for showing up the lipping tiles......
