Scribing bevelled tile for internal corners - TilersForums.com

[Bartlett]

Hi, been a while since I posted on here, wonder if you can help? Photos or links to photos would be great.
I have a splashback to do with bevelled tiles, 200x100mm, and this will involve working around several internal corners, both 45 degree and 90 degree (odd shaped kitchen). I understand that there will be a gap if I just make straight cuts and I will need to scribe the tiles to fit, wonder if anyone has any tips or advice on this? Thanks.

not to sure what you mean but cant you just mark the tiles and rake the cuttings so there not straight cuts

Thanks for the reply, maybe I didn't explain very well? Yes, I think that's what I'm getting at; just wondered if you had any tips on the best way to do this? Have managed to avoid working with bevelled tiles previously and was after some tips.

Use an off cut as a guide, place it on the tile to be scribed, mark around it with a pen/pencil, then nip/grind it to shape. Alternatively, mitre the corners.

Thanks Bri, planning on using trim on the external corners now, so no mitreing needed. Have practised a few cuts for the internal corners and it looks okay, have been using wet cutter on each side (for the bevelled part of the tile) and nipping the bit in between. Fiddly frustrating work, don't know how you guys all do it full-time!

You can still mitre the internal corners, think of it as being a bit like fitting skirting boards, some joiners mitre them some scribe them.
