Tiling Around Door Frame

[mikethetile]

you need to bring the tile over the joint to hide it, but dont fix the overlap with addy as the vibration will transfer through to the tile, use Silicon on that edge

Could create a door frame/architive with the trav tiles.
100mm strips, mitred in the top corners. I've done a few and they tend to look good. Finish nice & flush with the rest of the wall tiles.

(when i get a wire for my camera i might upload a pic if i can work it out)

Travertine dado's ( chair rails) look good as finishings as well.

I know that this thread seems to be solved, but nNow that I'm a whizz at uploading pictures, I thought I'd give you a visual example of what I was on about the other day!

I like this idea but am a little confused about levels and how it's been done as I can't really see in the photo.

Could elaborate a little more as I think it looks really good so may try to do the same?

What tiles have you used and what tile is the architrave made from? Is the architrave constructed by butting up the tiles without spacing (grout space).

Have you tiled right upto and over the edge of the door liner and then added the architrave on afterwards. If so, does the door not sit quite deep in the frame?

Thanks,

Daz

Martyn, could you elaborate?

Martyn, could you elaborate?

He will when he comes on or you could send him a pm and it might end up in his email inbox.

What he has done with that door is not easy, can you get some scrap tiles and practice mitred corners? Its not a job for a beginner in my opinion.
Good luck

Yeh can practise on scrap tiles.

Practice makes perfect.

Yeh can practise on scrap tiles.

Is correct. PractiSe = the verb - I practise, you practise, he/she practises

Practice makes perfect.

Is also correct. PractiCe = the noun - that which is practised!

The benefits of having an English teacher for a father. :lol:

Hi Daz,

I've sent you a message - This is a close-up of the picture i posted previously (this is the top-left corner of the door frame).

I hope its a bit clearer...

No butting up, all 2mm gaps between main tiles & each archi tile

Have you tiled right upto and over the edge of the door liner, and then added the architrave on afterwards. no - I think it was 5mm or maybe 10mm from the edge.
If so, does the door not sit quite deep in the frame? this replaces any wooden architrive you'd normall have. Door sits normally.

Thanks,

Daz

I hope its getting clearer!
