Overhang??

[Mozza]

Hi all any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to be working on a full en-suite walls & floor, the problem is that the en-suite in question is up on the 2nd floor in the corner on what would be the loft so on one wall there is an overhang (I think that’s what it's called where halfway up the wall meets with the pitch of the roof, 45 degree kicking back).
How should I approach tiling the overhang as the gout lines would not marry up with the other walls??

why do you think your grout lines will not match up? have you marked out to see ? set out on the main wall straight wall, you will find that the grout line will come across the pitched ceiling/wall just as it would in a normal situation, get a line in all around with your long level and work out the lowest row of tiles so that the cuts are all the same if possible, work up and the tiles will match up, its just another surface so treat it as such

goodluck

So you intend to tile the ceiling section you mean as it slopes up..?

If the ceiling section of the slope is to be tiled you can only joint match the vertical joints not the horizontal the angle wont allow it.

 

[Mozza]

Yes it's the sloping ceiling section that I meant, sorry for the confusion...?

 

[Mozza]

Would it be a good idea to get a full tile above and below the horizontal line where the sloped ceiling meets the regular vertical wall as this section is quite prominent as the loo and sink feature on that wall.

You could always tile that one section with a mosaic tile of some sort as a feature, and you won't have to worry about joints lining up.

With a over hang section like that which is fastened to the roof section then i would remove the plasterboard to that section that you intend to tile and replace with backer board whilst also inserting nogging supports at 300mm intervals to get a solid fix.

This will give a better stronger substrate to hold the tiles in place.

Mozza -Any area of slope that meets a vertical wall is classed as ceiling by me - and I will not for liability reasons tile any form of ceiling!

Correct prep and materials...no probs..

The USA lads do them all the time with no problems...but we tend to use plastic ceilings as well..
