Trim Around Window Frame - TilersForums.com

[Dee Griffiths]

So the bottom tiles have stopped with a rounded trim and the sill tiles have stopped into a flat trim?

Looks weird.

 

[Dee Griffiths]

Yes I was told he's not lined the tiles up properly around the window, so this is why he's ended up doing this, not sure if that's right.
The tiling itself doesn't look too bad although again I was told he should of started in the middle of the wall to get the same cut at the ends but he never did this,

He filled the bottom tile with a trim as there was a too larger gap he said to fill with grout so placed a trim there instead. Don't want to upset him I felt he rushed the job and kept saying this was a terrible job, Do you another alternative than the round trim?

What are options 1 & 2?

No, it's not right, he should have started again and set it out correctly, does not sound like he set out at all.

Usually you would find the centre of the window and set out to get the same pattern at the window edges.

I am.just tiling my windows now, the bottom tiles should go past the sill so that the trim and silver tiles meet up. Or sill tiles past depending on trim used and orientation .

Not sure what I was doing I'm new to the forum and it wouldn't let me on the forum unless I put options on so just put 1 & 2 lol

He finished it today except for the shower and grouting he's not a very happy man at the best of times, what should I ask him to do take them all off!! As all the rest won't measure up if he goes past the sill

the work looks okay apart from the sill

You are the customer and you are paying, so it's up to you really, if you are not happy then you have to tell him what you want, I don't know how he is going to finish the window side reveals either? That will need some sort of trim too.

I am not a professional tiler, but if this was mine and I was paying for it, I would have chucked him out without paying. That's not a professional job in my opinion.

But as I say I am not a tiler, I just do my own diy jobs, but looks like I could do better than him.
