corner steps

[atec]

Hi been a while since been on forum, glad to be back.

I have a job coming up, outside corner steps (2 edges right angle to each other) leading onto an outside porch. Question is do i try and kep a full tile at the front row of the steps and place cuts at back, or viceversa. if u know what i mean. and if the edging/face is not straight, do i make it straight. im not sure if i have explained this good enough.

thanks
Ronnie

ronnie are the tiles round edged ?if not then start at the corner of the steps and tile towards the wall as this will give you a nice crisp edge at the corners rather than a cut...hope this helps.

I find it easier if you lay the tread tile first and overlap it at the corners as this will give you a clean finish,you can serate the riser with adhesive then back butter the tile if you need to pack the tile out a little.

the tiles for the edge/lip have one round edge and the tiles for the right angle have 2 round edges, i think i understand what you mean, start with a full tile at the lip/edge and work towards the walls then cuts at wall.

Over lap the lip then tile the face and pack out if needed.

thanks brian.
