Window returns

[getjim]

first post for me so go easy.
I'm tiling a bathroom next week, full height on the walls. What's the policy for window returns - tile or not? If tiling is the answer do I go for tile edge or form some knd of mitre type joint?

Yes and trim

 

[frogeye]

Yes - and trim if necessary

Butted mine and it looks great

But they were good quality over glazed tiles

Whatever floats your boat

Tile trim is now standard practice but a lot of customers are now asking for tiles to be mitred. This is not easy to do if you are not experienced at doing this but can look tremendous depending on what tile you are using :yes:

Would use tile trim. Make sure you get correct size though. Match trim with thickness of tile. Mitred edges look good but are not easy to achieve top quality. If mitring tiles, make sure you have a thin quality blade in cutter as these will give the best finish for mitred tile. Being a newby though, I would suggest tile trim until you gain more experience.

Tile the return and use tile trim for the edge. A lot of customers want chrome trim rather than the cheaper plastic as the know the problems when it comes to edging and want to make a feature ofv it rather than disguise.
