Morning all,
I'm about to do my second DIY tiling project but I just have a quick question that I could do with the thoughts of some more experienced people on. This is the only thing slowing me down in my new found most favourite hobby, but with some help I'm sure I'll be off and running again. Then I can plan what I tile next! I am in danger of a fully tiled house though, inside and out!
So, my lastest tiles are 150 x 75 mm bevel edged ceramics for a sink splashback. Its free standing so the splashback will be ~400 x 750 mm in the middle of a wall. Under normal circumstances, I would think a 6 mm edging round would finish it off nicely, but I want to do a brick pattern so the vertical edge will alternate between a whole tile and cut tile with each course.
So, does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to proceed? I think the tiles are 6 mm in the middle down to 4 mm with the bevel. Should I use a 6 mm edge which would make the cut tiles perfect and the whole ones slightly proud, or go for a deeper edge which would be perfect for the whole tiles, but leave the cut ones low (to be made reasonable nice looking with grout).
Thanks in advance for any thoughts,
Bob
