Kitchen splashback

[postie]

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.

Thanks guys, those pipes in the corner were buggers to tile around ,as a matter of interest how much would you charge for a job this size ,window wall is 3mtr long by 0.5 mtr high and the other wall is 2.2 mtr x 0.5 mtr

200 inc materials.Good job m8.are those pipes being boxed in or a plastic casing put on them as they spoil the look of the job.

Visually it would be better to have the tiles centered between the two cupboards. As dave said previously work out which will give you the better cut at the start of the worktop either a grout line centre of the cupboards or the centre of a tile. Also take into account the finish cut in the corner as well as cuts around sockets. Then start at the hob and work your way out in either direction.

Sorry about the previous post thought I was at the end of the thread when really I was only part way through when I posted and didn't realise the job had already been completed. Nice job.

I doubt it the guy is a property developer and does not seem to fussy .
