Bevelled Metro Tiles..... Trims, edges and window reveals. - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

Square edge trim usually looks better and less abvious than round edge

Diagram B is correct .. Also you could reduce the whole tile just after the bevel to achieve the same thickness (8mm) consistent to suit for trim...if that makes sense

Thanks, I'll bear it in mind.

Thanks. Yes it does make sense. I've considered this as well.

You could Start on the 3/4 of the tile and you get even height on the the trim with both cuts as long as you don't get small cuts in the corners and around the windows

Thanks. I've discussed this with others and this appears their recommendation. I'm concerned it could look messy as we are not finishing on a whole tile.

I'd you have any wall underneath the window that you are tiling you are going to have to consider this when setting out your tiling so you can't just Tile up one side how you want without it affecting the other side of the window.

Thanks. Yes, I also have a window to consider, cooker splashback on the same wall, both of which should be symmetrical.

Hello again,

I've made a start, by undertaking, the "easy" wall. This is the edge that I was concerned about. 8mm trim on the top and 10mm on the sides. I filed a 2 x 15 mm chamber on the top of the 10mm trim to match the profile of the tile.

Does anyone have a preference of how to lay the first row of tiles on the window revile. Where the window board would normally go. Do we start with a cut tile or an uncut tile ? Do we stagger or not ? My gut feeling is a cut none staggered tile so it appears to wrap around. See photo.

Thanks in anticipation . Chris.

i nip a bit off the back of the tile

 

[Flintstone]

I usually start with a full tile on the window reveal, staggered or not depending on the cut below. It's not much of a wrap around with that white trim IMO

 

[Chris Bates]

Thanks, I think I will start with a full tile.

Your job but it looked fine to me.

 

[Flintstone]

It does look fine, just whatever you find looks best, no rule really
