    Unhappy with finish of beveled metro tiles and tile trim around window - are we being unreasonable?

    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...

    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...

    Fitting Metal Edge Trim/tiles Around Window Recess

    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...

    How Do You Keep Yours Up?

    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.
