Tiling A Wall With A Window

To achieve this plan the layout of your tiles in advance to ensure all tiles are.

Tiling a wall with a window.

What you need pry bar drill handsaw margin trowel notched trowel grout float wide putty knife caulking gun bucket sponge. Then measure around the window as to cut the tiles with a score and snap cutter or a wet saw to fit into location. Instead bring it up to about 3 4 of the height of your tiles. So if you re dealing with four inch tiles your batten board would start three inches off the floor.

A batten board is nothing more than a 1 x4 or 1 x2 board screwed directly into the wall horizontally. Lay out a line of tiles with space between them then line up the batten edge with that of your first tile. We recommend using a 50mm x 25mm piece of wood although any will do with a length of around 1 8m depending on the size of your wall. In order to tile around a window you have to spread thin set on the wall by using a notched trowel.

For the best results the tiles around your window should be in keeping with the tiles on the surrounding wall. Mark each tile and gaps on the rod with a pencil and number them. When installing the tiles around windows make sure you first secure the tile corner trim in thinset.
