Tiling a curved plinth

[MTiler]

Or you can use a quick drying render, using a plate/saucer etc. to get the radius you want, and will be square.

Or are you talking about something like this :

Cut back of cove off so that the leading edges of cove are virtually flush with the wall and stick and support with tile adhesive.

hope you don't do that on your canopy Marc :yikes: lol!

This is what I was initially thinking about but was concerned as how the corners are finished and if you do start to form the curve around the base of the wall how does it look for external corners to keep the flow of the shape?

Have a look at my JOTM entry this month and it may answer a couple of your questions.

3_Fall your work is exceptional I read your entry and some patience you have to be able to pull of that type of finish.
As you say it's all in the preparation to get everything nice and square.
This is exactly what I was trying to achieve for our shower area curved up the wall and curved along the base edge of the tray up to the glass.
Our trays are also marmrox shower lay and as you stated it's not suitable for tiles under 50 x 50 so I guess it could be done upto the curve edge in these then up the wall in mosaics ?

one question how did you finish the end of the curve where it meets the glass and upto the door did you tile it? I couldn't see in the pics.....

Ever travel to Scotland......?

Thanks for post Kelvin, kind of you to say!
well if you have no height issues you could over board the tray in the same manor if you wanted to use mosaic throughout.
At the end of the skirting and into the glass I tiled it in mosaic. Didn't follow any kind of joint line. Just tiled it best way they fitted. It's such a small space it goes unnoticed but stil finishes it off.
I only travelled to Scotland once. It was back in mid eighties when I was part of a support team for Mitsubishi RAC Rally Team. Back in the days of Pentti Airikkala and Anders Kulläng and was lucky enough to get a ride with Anders as a co driver for couple hours during practice! Great experience.
Other than that? No haha
