Inside corners with beveled tile - TilersForums.com

[Cekizian]

Hi, this is my first time working with beveled tile and after doing my layout in a shower surrond, I realized that the wall that has the shower valve will meet the long wall with all cut tiles. And on the long wall, every 3rd row will have a run of full tiles. I'm not sure what is the correct way to deal with insider corners with bevels when there is a mix of cuts and bevels. The way it's working out to get a decent wrap around look doesn't allow me to get around having full tiles on the long wall. These are 7.5 x 30 tiles. Thanks for the advice.

Why every 3rd row. What pattern are you using ?

Hi. I had the same problem. The way I sorted this was to cut just the bevelled end off a number of tiles (make sure it's the least amount you can cut off say 20mm). If it's a brickwork pattern then you can start off in one corner with a slightly cut tile. Place the first row as normal. Your next row will have to take into account the slightly shorter tile below and therefore be 20mm shorter than half length. Once you have that, do your second row and so forth. This way, all your tiles meet in the corner with the same thickness. Repeat for all the other walls working AWAY from this first wall. It is often best to start with the first wall facing you as you walk into the room to make it more aesthetically pleasing.

Hope this helps
