Looking for help with window bay tiling - TilersForums.com

Hey guys. Wondering if someone can help me. I’ve got a lady wanting a bay window tiled with slate, no problem. My issue is the curve on the bay window front and how I’m I’m going to go about it. I’ll post a picture if it makes it clearer. Thanks in advance. This has really stumped me for some reason, it’s straight but don’t want little cuts of tile.

I haven’t been round yet. It’s just a picture she has sent me so not too sure.

I don't see why you're convinced you will have little cuts then . If the depth of the window is less than the dimension of the tile it's just a case of shaping it to the contours of the window

had a similar problem tiling around an arched window. Found a company that can water jet cut marble. Made an accurate template showing positions of tiles and shape final shape of arch. Cost around £50, but the job is perfect.
