Tile trim halfway up a window

[Branty]

Another one of GazTech's scribbled guides, the reverse of the paper reads Benson & Hedges filter tipped....:lol:

Not bad. You're no Stephen Wiltshire though.

GazTechs solution looks best.

Alternative is no trim. Did this myself but with porcelain tiles (which are a homogeneous mix so look the same on the edge as on the front)

I think your's look like ceramics? So I'd go with GazTech idea

HAVE A LOOK AT THIS PICTURE

I think this is what you are striving for ?

Thanks 365drills, the picture shows exactly what I'm trying to achieve. It's a bit unfortunate that the plant is in the way, but I can still get the gist of it.

If I 'm reading it right I'd use two pieces of trim back to back.Trim on the face upto the ceiling then cut the reveal tile short and trim again to the back edge of the trim on the face.
Does that make sense???

Hi all!

I'm new here and need a bit of advice. I'm tiling my bathroom and have reached the point where I need to work out how my tile trim is going to sit around the window before I can go any further. I've had a look on the forum for help but the only solution I have found is a 3 way mitre which I don't think will work in my situation.

Basically, I was planning to tile right up to the edge of the window recess, and right the way up the wall to the ceiling (i.e. past the recess). However on the side of the recess I only want to go partway up. So, whichever wall surface I attach the trim to it's not going to work, because it'll either protrude over the window recess all the way up and look odd because the tiles will only go part way up, or or if I put it on the inner surface I'll obviously have to stop when I reach the top of the window recess.

The only solution I can see is to bring up a vertical piece on the inside surface and mitre it to the horizontal piece also on the inner surface where I stop tiling in the actual recess. Then I will just have to attach the next vertical piece on the outer wall surface and 'hide' the straight cut.

Hope this makes sense?! If anyone has any better ideas please let me know!

Thanks.

Another Mystery solved .................well maybe:huh2:
