Tiling round a window frame

[clubb699]

Hi all,

Just a quicky iam about to tile the newly finshed kitchen, im not to sure whats the best way of starting the tiles from the worktop would you start with a full tile and then half tile would be left to go into the window corner? or is it the otherway round the tiles are 4 inch sq.

Thanks lads

would you start with a full tile and then half tile would be left to go into the window corner?

Yes; & tile from the centre of the window in each direction so you get equal width tiles each side. I leave a 2mm gap to the worktop & apply a narrow silicone bead afterwards.

dont forget your three way mitres at the window returns..

this may sound quite silly with it being a new kitchen, but double check all over that the worktop is level.

probably is but worth the extra couple of mins to make sure
