    Morning all, Just wanted peoples thoughts on finishing metro tiles, specifically in the corners? Even with nice cutting you still get a diamond effect in the corners that in some cases depending on the depth difference of the metro edge can look a bit off.

    Customer has asked to re-tile a shower cubicle with Metros, just thinking about the bevel effect on them and how you get the shower cubicle to flush seal up against them? Anyone ever fitting them in a shower cubicle? Cheers
