Metro tiles

[nic]

Hello, I am thinking of tiling with bevelled edged metro tiles 20cm x 10 cm and was wondering how to deal with cuts that go into the corners of the room. Will I need to use some beading as I can't see how the tiles will fit with the bevelled edges. Advice would be really appreciated.:20:

Its a common problem and one that will need a compromise .

Not sure what you mean, is this walls or floor?

Aha. Thank you Sir Ramic. Id tile into the corner as neatly as poss then run a Silicon joint up the internal angles to try and hide it.

Just what Dylante said, tile neatly into corner leaving a stress gap and then Silicon. Use a Silicon to match your grout (mapie)

nic - the internal and external corners of the black tiles were 'blended' using black rubber Silicon ( the photo taken before trimmed).
The tiles and dado (internal/external) were all mitred on the edges and no trim used!
This job was actually a repair to someone else's work - we removed all the tiles off 3 windows, the top 3 courses around the room (5sq mts) and all the external tiling on 3 areas of boxing (1 shown). Previously no attempt had been made to finish the edges on any point in the work and the customer had a black 90degree shelf trim sellotaped to the corners!!!!!!!!
The work was undertaken in conjunction with a black/white victorian hallway completed in the same property and gained through an enquiry received through TILERS FORUM.
