All,
I am started tiling with my travertine tiles and am wondering which is the best way to approach the window ledges.
I have already decided that I will be using a butt joint for them and then chamferring the top edge off.
Should I be laying the "ledge" down first and then measuring and cutting the vertical tiles up the wall to the ledge after or should I cut and fix the tiles up the wall (to the top off the ledge) and then fix the ledge tiles after?
Or does it really not matter? I am just trying to avoid having any odd sized gaps between the ledge and top row of tiles. I guess if I measure right it shouldn't matter which way. Am I right or are there any tips or techniques anyone can give me to ensure an ideal fit? I have a few external corners that will probably benefit from any similar tips/techniques, if there are any.
Thanks in advance,
Daz
