Hi, I’m looking for advice on the best way to tile a shower cubicle using 10x20cm bevelled “underground” style tiles using a brick wall style layout pattern. I have built a 3-sided cubicle (i.e. open on one just side) using studwork and Aquapanel. I have read that into the internal corners, and also on the outer edges, the bevelled tiles should always be cut so that there are no joins or ends at the end of the tile (i.e. on the bevel). This tells me the best way to lay them out horizontally, but not vertically. I have two questions:
1) Should I start with a full tile along the edge of the shower tray, or should I also cut the bevel off for best visual effect in this case?
2) The tiles will not go right to the ceiling. What is the best way of finishing at the top visually – again, should I cut the bevel off and finish with a tile edging strip, or just finish with a complete tile and leave it at that with no edging?
Thanks in advance for any hints.
