bathroom with 2 windows

[jdstella]

Hi.
ive done a few tiling jobs for myself over the years and i am about to do a bathroom for a family member where there is 2 windows on 1 wall. I have tiled around 1 window in the past where i got the centre and laid the tiles evenly, but if i was to do this with 2 windows it would not work right when i came to tile the second window.
Anyone got any good tips for this? thanks.

I would try the setting out along the wall until you have decent cuts at both sides of the windows. If the tiles aren't equal for both windows, that can't really be helped can it

If the windows are on the same wall, and the section of wall between them is a nice width.......then centrilise that section of wall, and either work from that line......or center the tile to that wall but check both ways so to minimise a silly cut

Cheers guys.
yes the 2 windows are on the same wall with a 400mm wall between them. tiles are approx 250mm x 500mm. tiles are to go portrait way up.
I have measured up by centralising tiles between the 2 windows and they are working out fine with similair L shaped cuts around the window reveals and similair half tiles on meeting adjoining walls.
So, I have measured out and squared up the bath as the plumber didnt fit the bath square!.. all good to go now, I will update with any problems or put some finished pics on. fingers crossed .
Thanks again.

Its handy if the windows are same width and you centre on middle section,but i'm sure you're well on now

just make sure that both sills if possible are level with one another, its always difficult to make the right decision and what will look best. pretty sure 99% of the time you wont be able to centre the tiles in both windows. can only find 1 picture with 2 windows, it may help.
