Spacing around window trim - TilersForums.com

[Jamie]

Thanks peeps
just one more question ... one side of the window is not square, around 1cm out top to bottom, do I just pack it out?

Tile the wall first and overhang the tiles where needed to make it square and plumb, then pack out the tiles in the reveal to suit

So you would leave a 3mm gap between the trim and the tile..?

if tile joint was 3mm yes, with me more likely to be 2mm so would leave a 2mm space .
nice metros Andy 2mm joint on them ?

Indeed .....but have always cut mine tight........got any pics with the gap you leave..?

pics, I doubt it as I avoid trim as much as possible.
not saying your wrong mate but my only issue with your method would be in a wet area, say shower niche and if a tight joint would stop water ingress

Same spacing as the grout gap for me. Some trim has a built in gap for grout.

confirm, schluter makes them. gap 1/2mm.
