tiling archways

[cocomojoe]

hey everybody, hows it going. I would like to know how do you tile an archway. Is their a certain tool you use to cut the tile with a nice finish...what tool do you use and how do you tile it.

Are you tiling the internals too or just the outside?

 

[TilerBhoy]

Just heat them up with a blow torch and bend them

Joke BTW!!

Curves are normally tiled with mosaics. You can do that as a feature even if the rest of the walls have full sized tiles. Someone posted a thread here recently with ideas on feature alcoves - a few good ideas for you there.

Welcome!
