Tiling an arch

[penno]

Staring a job on tuesday in a kitchen and the doorway is an arch. Not a problem doing the cuts but i am a bit dubious of the finishing look. As in when i have tiled the arch you will see the edges of tiles, whats best way to finish it off?

Take a tile trim and cut into the flat part of the trim about 50mm apart along its length using your wet cutter..measure the centre of the arch . then using a nail gun or tacks fix the trim to the arch edge .. once the trim reaches the centre mark at the top then cut trim to length there and then repeat the process on the other side...then tile to trim..nice neat edge....hope this clear enough for you penno mate....dave...

p.s.....basicaly you are just forming the trim to the arches shape........dave..

Great advice Dave.

If anybody wants to get a nail gun then they are spot on for trim fixing.....dave...
