Marking out a curve
Reply with quote Thanks

Hi,

I am in the process of tiling my bathroom floor and I have a shower tray with a curve in it. What is the easiest way to mark out the curve on the tiles so it is a continuous curve from tile to tile.

Thanks

This is one way of doing it, you scribe it, make sure the distance from the tile edge and the shower tray is the same, example: the gap is 50mm, so the pencil line start at 50mm to the back edge of the tile.
