Hi All,

need to tile a small splashback (using 10x10 tiles) roughly 60cm wide x 50cm high on the wall behind my cooker. The cooker is the freestanding slot in type. My question is what is considered the norm for how low these tiles go?
1 Should I be looking to tile below where the cooker top is and push it up to the tile?
2 Should I be looking to tile right down to the cooker top and push it right back to the wall under the tile edge?
3 Should I tile down to a few mm above where the cooker top is and push it back to the wall under the tile edge?

I'm thinking 3 but since I've not tiled in the Kitchen before, I wanted to check

Thanks,
Rich

I would personally set a batten a few courses down behind where the cooker is going to sit. 2 maybe 3 rows down behind.

I see a trend forming!! I'll batten the wall a few rows below the cooker top and tile up from there.

Thanks!
