window

Our kitchen fitter has done a lovely job overall but we are disappointed with the finish around the windows which we feel lets the other good work down. I have attached pics and we have contacted him to say that we aren’t happy with the finish around the windows with the wedge of grout along...

hi guys, I’m all ready to start this wall but I am unsure which layout I should go for. I have attached two drawings (not to exact scale) Basically do I centre from the wall or window ? The wife thinks from the middle of the wall but I’m not sure. 600x300 ceramic tiles. Length of wall is...

Any of you set tiled cills with a slight fall or keep them level? Thank you :)

Here's a job I'm doing at the moment

Hi all I have some 12mm box trim to put around window edge. when tiling around it, do I tile up to it or leave a 3mm grout gap as I have done with all the other tiles. wasn't sure as its the first time I have had to tile in and around a window. Thanks

All of these images contain closers, just for Andy @Localtiler :) Well, the ones I could be bothered to find anyway. Every tile under the window.

Hi. After ripping old tiles off, I noticed that the bottom sill and side panels where padded out with MDF or some other wood. They had done this I assume to get tiles to fit correctly against the window frame. My question is what should i use to fill out the space before tiling around the...

Hello, This is the first time of posting and hope that someone can give me some advice or posing me in the right direction. I've tiled successfully in the past and, in my opinion, done a decent job, but now face fitting bevelled tiles. My question relates to the height of the tile trim around...

A mate of mine down northamton has just put this up on face book , he was decorating the house . a shower enclosure made out of plastic windows , smart :) :)

whilst doing the sums for laying my tiles, i made a slight mistake. basically, one line of tiles that run beneath the lower face of the window bottom are approx 1mm too low. the metal window edging that i want to use kind of rocks like a seesaw on the render/metal beading beneath. all i can...

Only a slight issue. Not my first rodeo but the window is off set to the left 120mm. I'm using 600x300 tiles, the wall is 370mm one side and 490mm the other I would normally even out the tiles around the window as that is a focal point. However the window is on the wall tat faces you as you open...

Is there a technique for doing this with metal edge trim? Eg, is it best to tile the whole face of the wall, with all of the 4 window sides cut straight and square, being raised proud by a set distance to allow for the trim/adhesive and inner tiles to meet up squarely when fitted later? If so...

There always the one or two tiles above the window, with nothing to hold them in place, slowly sliding, how do you hold yours up? Screws at an angle and sit them on there often works, or screw a bit of wood into the reveal? Not always possible if you have had to over hang to level it up.

Second-time DIY tiler with a wonky window sill, an IKEA sink and non-IKEA kitchen units. Can you offer advice please? Previous owner of the house left behind some white square tiles, so I'm going to use these (you can see some resting on the windowsill in the photo). I was planning on screwing...

Hi gents, Two questions. Is there a correct and easier way to tile above a window recess so that the tiles are level and match evenly. trying to find a quicker solution on uneven walls Plus, on using thin glass skirting tiles, would it be better to tile above onto these tiles or, if using...

Hi Fellas. I've (nearly) finished tiling my en-suite walls now and want to start on the window reveals soon. Do you have any hints or tips for a nice looking finish? As recommended in a previous post of mine, I pulled the bottom tiles up above the window sill (by up to 10mm at its worst), and I...

I just restores this one window sill-tile for a customer of mine, pictures were taken before and after the job was completed. www.facebook.com/TileMarbleGranite

Hi all I am planning on tiling my window will with 5 slate tiles. They are around 8mm thick. Here are some photos of the substrate: [Please PM. See Post #2] Money is mega tight so I am trying to do it as cheaply as possible. I've been told I need to seal the substrate and was planning on...

What do you use to support your tiles above the window. With tiles getting bigger and heavier its not possible to relie on the non slip adhesive. ......especially when the wondows above a bath..:yikes:
