above a window.

when it comes to the window wall......

1. do you prop tiles up above the window with a baton and props?

2. or nail in position if possible?

3. or let the adhesive grip to tile..depends on tile size and quality of adhesive of course?

Easy really this one.......another trade secret...lol...

Do the window head first with trim....the suction off the adhesive in the window head tiles is sufficent to hold the top face tiles in situ no probs...they shouldn't skid down then....takes practise but works very well.....does for me anyway...lol lol..

I like to get the complete window wall tiled in 1 go (obviously depending on size and weight of tiles) tile the reveal then use props with a bit plasterboard just wider,that takes the weight of the tiles above window,if i have explained it correctly

usually nail up depends on the tile or daves tip is probably the easiest answer!:8:

Depends on the size of the tiles.

Sometimes I just use masking tape to stop any moving
If big-ish tiles I'll get the props out :yes:
