45 degree angles

oh ok,i get ya.
nice mitring DOUG.

yes, i agree doug. i would mitre the tile, and have a grout joint, i would not use Silicon or a trim.

maybe the lads would correct me if they think its wrong, but wat i did b4 was mitre one tile at 45 and put the next one up to it with your desired grout joint.

Thats the type of wall!

What tool would I use to mitre them? I have done it before with skirtings etc but dont have a tool for doing it with tiles.

Where can I buy one? and what would I call it?

Cheers

A wet cutter

well the best tool would be a wet saw,
you could get a simple and cheap one in b&q.
but if it was me, i would go and hire a professional one from a HSS Hire.
some of those simple cheap are not that great.

best of luck mate.

you need to be able to tilt the table top or blade through to 45 dgs, I mitred both corners to within about 2mm of the face of the tile to soften the corner and to stop the glaze chipping
