I am lost..

Did Salvadore Dali compose this thread?:lol:

Can someone please spell out what we're looking for??

 

[Sean fsy]

Im on about the tiles on the bottom, why is there a cut on the bottom. Its not a continuation of the tile below as its far to big to be that, even if it was would you not continue the cut up the sides of the reveal?

 

[mikethetile]

had another look and I give up

I dont know whats going on but want no part of it

 

[Rich]

Perhaps... But I still cant work out why youv posted a pic of some1 elses work?? Do you guys work together?

 

[Richardk]

I cant see anything wrong with the border. Is it the grout line at the back of the cill not being carried up the sides?

 

[brinkley]

he picked holes in my work too

 

[TT Tiling]

maybe its the tape left round the window ,i all ways remove first but then thats me ????????

 

[merlecollins]

Wooaaahh lads....

Lets all take time out - it is naughty to publicly criticise others work without constructive comments, but lets not all fall out man:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Rich]

I really hope that you havnt posted a pic of one of the elite guys work to pick holes in it? That would be a very quick way of upsetting a lot of people...

its all good if there is a fault with my work pic show me I'm not to big to learn something new so please show me.

the quick answer is no m8 but if you do that is all good.

who said there was a fault with your work, if im tiling a window and theres a cut tile on the bottom of the reveal i always match the grout line up with the tile on the upstand of the reveal and i wanted to know if im doing it wrong. i was wondering why and what determined where the cut actually went on the bottom.

Sean,

The tiles up the side extend all the way to the window because they are rectangular, and therfore wider that they are tall. Thus the tiles on the ledge, and top of the reveal are not 'tall' enough to extend all the way back to the window, wheras the tiles into the sides of the reveal are 'long' enough to.

This would be obvious if the photo extended further up the reveal, but because it doesnt you cant really see what I mean.

That said, I have cut tiles so that the grout line follows all the way round the reveal, and have also done it as Deano has done, all down to the customer preference IMO.

If you think its wrong then I think you should have discussed it with Deano first, not just posted his photo up then openly invited everyone to find fault with it.

If it had been a photo of your work, then fair enough, but not someone elses, and certainly not without speaking to said person first.

As I mentioned in post 2 -I think this window reveal is nigh on perfect and I stand by that statement whoever tiled it!
Sean if you have a cut at the back of the cill because the tile is over the width of the cill then so be it - but to put a cut to the back of the sides of the returns just to match the cill and head is not something I've ever done!
If that is the way you normally set a room out to tile, then that's fine for you and your customers and everyone has their own way of doing jobs.

What I find totally appalling with this thread is the misleading way that you have presented it using someone elses work without the courtesy of allowing the members to know that you were planning a critical review.

This thread IMHO should have been :ban:
