Tiling Around Door Frame - TilersForums.com

You can remove it, but in my opinion it looks rubbish and unfinished, even if you polish the edge of trav or use a trim with tile, it always looks like there's something missing. I always remove the architrave (facing) plate the standards (door lining) to finish flush with the tile, then install a new set of facings on top, which then comes over the tile, giving a much better finish. I do this in every bathroom I tile.

Ive done a few with the arc removed , just have the trav finish in the same position as the arc, make sure u give the trav a slight bevel to finish.
I recon it looks great , very modern and clean.

Thanks,

When you say have the trav finish in the same position as the arc, what exactly do you mean? Are you saying bring the tile up to the edge of the door lining? Or do you mean just overlap where the lining meets the cement board?

I am not sure I understand the sentence "I always remove the architrave (facing) plate the standards (door lining) to finish flush with the tile". Could you please clarify?

Thanks!

when I've worked north of the border I've noticed that does seem to be the way it's done Stewart
Daz, facing is the scottish term for architrave

you need to bring the tile over the joint to hide it, but dont fix the overlap with addy as the vibration will transfer through to the tile, use silicone on that edge

Could create a door frame/architive with the trav tiles.
100mm strips, mitred in the top corners. I've done a few and they tend to look good. Finish nice & flush with the rest of the wall tiles.

(when i get a wire for my camera i might upload a pic if i can work it out)

Travertine dado's ( chair rails) look good as finishings as well.

I know that this thread seems to be solved, but nNow that I'm a whizz at uploading pictures, I thought I'd give you a visual example of what I was on about the other day!
