Tile trim on external corners

jimbocam · 3 May 2006

Hi,

I'm tiling half way up a window reveal so I have two external corners to put trim around.

Trouble is I can't work out how to do the joins where the three trims meet (horizontal along wall / horizontal out of the window reveal / vertical up the window reveal).

Can anyone help please?!

Yes, I realise that but how do you mitre three ways?

What you have to do is cut the upright (vertical) strip straight, fit this first between the tiles, then mitre the two horizontal strips to form a 90 deg mitre joint and fit this behind your top row of tiles.
The centre of this mitre joint then sits over the top of the straight cut of the vertical strip.

Hope this helps
