bevel edge brick tiles - TilersForums.com

we all know these tiles, 150 x 70, 15 mm ish bevel. I've done white before with white grout and silicon and black tiles with black grout and silicon. Currently doing black tiles with white grout. My concern is the corners where the gap fluctuates between 2 and about 4/5mm because of the bevel. White silicon is going to emphasise this (just picturing wavey line)so would black silicon mask the corner better or am I overthinking this

Scribe the tiles to suit the bevel john..

hiya,suppose black would be the easier option but if its white grout will it tie in? i know what you mean about the bevel,just keep the joint to a minimum,fill the joint carefully is what i would do faithy

would you believe I have just scribed a 200 mm border tile and never thought of scribing the bevel duh cheers dave

It is a pain John, but I do scribe these tiles

Anyone seen/tried these before, a fugi silicon kit with 'legs', to help keep the silicon line true FUGI-KIT 5 - Fugi Kit - Silicone Smoothening Tools - AB Sealants Ltd

I did one last year, black tiles, white grout. Scribed (easy cos they were soft ceramic). looked well after siliconing internal corners with white

Not with the legs !

always use clear silicone on dark worktops or in those situations or as Dave tells you ete

If possible, I try to avoid a full tile into the corners for exactly this reason, saves scribing and lends to a better silicone job, in my humble opinion.

Totally agree Alan

If they have a bevelled edge top/bottom and right/left... how can you avoid scribing..?..
