Finishing Split face slate mosaic to external corners - TilersForums.com

[Chris_32]

Hi, was just looking for some tips on how to get the best finish on an external corner using the split face mosaic slate. I have used it on a single wall but never had to return it around an external corner. It will be tricky due to the varying thickness of the slate and was just wondering if anyone with experience using this material could please help me out.

Thanks.

Mitre the tiles.
Cut the tile at 45 degrees then cut the off cut at 45 degrees the other way and then all the different thicknesses match perfectly and you get a lovely wrap around effect.

A lot of work for sure to mitre little slate pieces to good standard.
@timeless john nice work mate, can I ask you what is it? I mean gap behind that slate wall? Is it just a decoration or some kind of ventilation?

They are 4 feature decor panels, 2 at each end of this infinity pool. The previous picture shown in this thread is in the top picture to the right of the steam room and is lit up. All panels are hung off the walls and the gap behind was to allow ventilation into the plant room.
