Tiling round porthole window

[cornish_crofter]

Welcome to the Forum Lindy!

Dave's idea is probably what I would try in this instance.

Look at this attachment.
This is a job i did a couple of years ago and if i remember rightly the mosaic was set back from the edge about 3mm so you could get a good grout finish around the circumference of the porthole. Check the led lights in the step to the bath, wot a pain in the *** that was.

Mick were the tiles on the outside of the port hole cut by you to shape around or are they pre made like this?Looks absolutely fantastic.

I did an arch that way Dave with regular cuts on the trim flat at every 20mm...I did use a couple of small flat head tacks to hold it in place aswell.......first attempt I was " a bit clumsy" and curving it creased a white line in the soft cream where it bent instead of curving.....so that went in the bin.....but the second one I took my time and it worked a treat ...it took longer to file the tiles to get a nice finish right up to the trim.......but it is worth it.

Some one mentioned schluter stuff as well.....

Uniform Bending Of Profiles With Radius Perforations

Certain Schlüter profiles with radius perforations are available for the protection of contoured edges. The perforations make it possible to adjust the profile to the contour of the covering edge. To achieve quick and neat bending of most profiles with radius perforations, use the specially designed Schlüter-RUMA bending machine. For full details of profiles with radius perforations, and which are suitable for use with Schlüter-RUMA, ring Schlüter-Systems Ltd on +44 (0) 1530 813396. The picture shows an example of how a Schlüter profile can be easily contoured to fit a neighbouring curved surface. Products that are only 1 metre in lengh are not availabe with radius perforations.

Blimey a bit too much on the old amber nectar there, I thought that it was the 'dogs dangly bits' Australians ay lol:gettree:
Picture looks excellent, as asked before, are those tiles oaround the edge precut, ie like quadrant tiles.
