Hi guys

Now i know you centre a hob or cookerhood on splashbacks but what if the cooker hood is on a wall where the worktop finishes halfway along the wall, do you start with a full tile level with the end of the worktop , or do you still centre the hob but in doing so end up with a small cut at the end of the worktop.I would start with a full tile at the end of the worktop (black line) like in the photo is this right way ?.

I would still centre between the two cupboards, the extractor is wrongly placed. I would even go as far as explaining the situation to the punter and have it properly placed.

 

[postie]

The extractor is centred with those units its the shadows that make it look wrong here is another angle

 

[wayne]

are they battens on the walls?

 

[DHTiling]

Yes postie mate..centre the extractor..start with a full or half tile , see which gives you the biggest cut at the w/top end.........dave..

 

[postie]

Yes Wayne doing a job for a property developer but the chippys have not fixed the worktop on yet and still have to cut the hob in ,plus the last kitchen i did the worktops were way out so had to batten them too . And just to top it off the plasterers are crap too when wrapping the tiles around the window i will have to combat the angle sitting out a few mill from the wall

Heh, funny how one pic looks like the hoods well of center when it really isn't

 

[postie]

It will give me a small cut like this

 

[Fekin]

I'd be looking at having the small cut on the other side, after marking out how it would look around the hood first.

I'd like to see the finished pic.
