Tiling A Wall With A Window

Mark each tile and gaps on the rod with a pencil and number them.

Tiling a wall with a window. When installing the tiles around windows make sure you first secure the tile corner trim in thinset. For the best results the tiles around your window should be in keeping with the tiles on the surrounding wall. To achieve this plan the layout of your tiles in advance to ensure all tiles are. Lay out a line of tiles with space between them then line up the batten edge with that of your first tile.

Then measure around the window as to cut the tiles with a score and snap cutter or a wet saw to fit into location. Watch and learn from the experts to achiev. Don t start it at the floor. A batten board is nothing more than a 1 x4 or 1 x2 board screwed directly into the wall horizontally.

So if you re dealing with four inch tiles your batten board would start three inches off the floor. Instead bring it up to about 3 4 of the height of your tiles. We recommend using a 50mm x 25mm piece of wood although any will do with a length of around 1 8m depending on the size of your wall.
