Trim advice for 7mm beveled metro tiles? - Tile Advice

[Flintstone]

I always trim the top as well as the edge and always with a square trim but as the lads have said, it's only a personal choice really. 8mm trim

Should the brick-bond pattern be continued into the reveal, or does that not matter if using trims?
And, at the end where you start tiling, do you start with 1/4 3/4 cuts (so that both ends have cuts) and terminate both ends with a vertical trim?

Aye continue bonding into window reveal, looks bad if you just stack at the reveal.
If the setting out works that way, that would be ideal.

Your tiler should be able to do setting out. I usually mark centre line of the cocker and see what will have on both ends of wall (don't really want small cut). When you tile return wall, on internal corner you want full tile module ( or close). I am sure your tiler will work it out. Good luck!

Just thought I'd post a pic of the finished product. I decided to trim the exposed tops too, and I'm actually glad i did. Thanks for the all the help, guys!

The tile trim(s) that is on the return of the window - is that a normal way of doing that?

8mm trim
Round or square.... Personal decision, but I prefer round.
Internal corners cut as normal, just make sure the brick pattern flows round each wall.
Top of the tiles you can use trim, white biscuit tiles I tend not to but would with brown biscuit..

Now que the 'metros should be mitred brigade to appear'....

Morning Andy
