Hi Guys n' Gals - Tiling newbe here looking for help and advice

[Pedr]

I'm trying to tile around, and in the recess of my bathroom window, and am using on the advice of the tile shop, tile trim that have little corners that one slides into the ends of the trim,to avoid the need to miter the corners. this is supposed to make things easier, but try as much as I can, I cannot work out how the corners work? can any body please help, or point me to some images of these corners in situ?

Are you doing the full window recess, as in cill, header and both sides? Or finishing the tiling half way up the window? Hope that makes sense.

 

[Stewart]

Are you doing internal or external corners....?

Then you don't need the corner pieces, just mitre the internal corners at 45 degrees. The corner pieces are generally used for going round a corner where a mitre would leave a sharp edge.

Not many places sell them and I also think Porcelanosa do them for their expensive trim.

Hi mate, these corners you have are for external corners. You need to get hold of a small mitre box and hacksaw to make 45 degree cuts on your trims.
