Bathroom Coomb

[DavieA]

Well started tiling a bathroom today ,customer wanted tiling down from a comb ceiling which was fine but it became one of those nightmare jobs when i put my level to the comb and it was like a rollercoaster up and down and way off level so instead of placing the trim in the comb and following the wavy ceiling i placed it just under but level as i thought if i was to follow the comb by the time i hit the vanity unit(which is level) it would be really obvious that the tiles sitting just above it were unlevel and didnt think it would look good but now obviously the trim is 1mm under the comb on the right as u look at the wall and about 5mm on the left.

Took ages to sort it out and set out the room and feel like ive acheived nothing today:mad2:!!

Did i do the right thing?? Pics Attached:huh2:

I think i see what u mean, but where the two tiled walls meet on the corner (red line on the pic) am i correct in thinkin the trim will stick out a bit compaired to the trim above it (yellow line)??

I thought about continuing the mosaic up the wall but dont know if it will look any good?

Red lines are trims on the wall that is half tiled
Orange lines are on the wall on the opposite side, which I presume is fully tiled?
Yellow is trim on the small 4" return.

the red (line)trim would only need to stick out the depth of the tile on the return.
So if the tile on the return was cut to 100mm upto the border, it would be 91mm above the border, with your 9mm trim making up the difference.

Think i see what ur saying but would that not mean that the trim on the 100mm tiled area of the return would be sticking out the compaired to the 91mm trim above it?

If im getting u right mate??

the trim on the 100mm part, is on the other side of the wall.
There is a step, but there has to be, even if it was done without trim, there would still be one.
If you use an external corner piece, it will look even neater I suppose.

Excuse my lack of PC artwork skills:lol:
Where the red and yellow meet on the return, you will see a step.
But what else can you do when you are only tiling halfway up the wall?

LOL Cheers Drew i now see exactly what u mean.

Your idea sounds like the best option.

My only other line of thought was to contine the mosaic verticly once it hit the return then use a full strip of trim and have no mosaic border on the trim but dont know if it would look any good??

That would look fine, but you'd still have the same problem of a step at one side.

EDIT
Just seen your pic, no sure if that would lok good mate, I thought you meant fully tile the return with mosiac.

You'd be better continuing the field tile up that wall, than just the brder up the edge of it, IMO.

Ok so u think trim on the lower half then trim on the upper half stepped in as discribed previous??

Cheers
