hi
following on from my thread about setting out, are there are things i need to consider for tiling around arches, columns, box sections, and angled ceiliings
again i'll break it down into sections covering what i ahave learned
1.arches- should a full tile sit either side of the arch and then a baton gets fixed above the arch for the cut to sit underneath.
2. columns- lets say the column is wide enough to take 1 tile and half a tile. should i center the column so that there are 2 equal cuts as opposed to and full tile next to a cut.
3. box sections covering pipes- although they are similar to columns, do they get treated differently. does your tiling have to follow setting out procedures that have been done on the previous walls or is it a s simple as a full tile and then the cut next to the return wall were the boxing in fits to the wall (hope that makes sense)
4. angled ceiling- cant figure out what to consider here except that the cut following the ceiling line should be half a tile if its possible. try and avoid small squidgy cuts that look unsightly
5. brick bond- fiind centre of wall, work outwards trying to get a half cut at either end of wall and the same from the floor to the ceiling?
6. diagonal patterns- centre wall and try to have half a diagonal either side if possible. always start with half a diagonal off worktops
sorry for all this, if anybody can help then i'll split my lottery win with you if i win on saturday, could be a fiver, could be 5 million either way, you get half, oh and it could be nothing lol
thanks, ross
ps theres 1 final thread and then its bed time.
