Tiling A Bathroom Wall With A Window

Line up a tile with the edge of the window and protruding out over the full sized tiles on the wall.

Tiling a bathroom wall with a window. You can expect to spend about four to five hours tiling a standard 36x40 inch double hung window. Another thing i offer my clients is a shampoo niche. Anytime the tile meets the window itself i use a sealant. Mark the tile where it overlaps the full sized tile and number it on the back side.

Use bullnose tiles to round off the edges of the window frame and tile the wall first. Place a tile against the wall and add a tile spacer to the side of it. You shouldn t need to cut the tile unless it is an end tile that completes the row. This will allow you to leave room for the adhesive that will secure your tiles to the wall.

In a bathtub area the cost difference between using this cheap bland 0 69 tile and a better quality 4 75 tile is negligible. That way you can make sure the grout lines of the recess are on the same plane as the wall. Then measure around the window as to cut the tiles with a score and snap cutter or a wet saw to fit into location. When tiling bathtubs backsplashes and other areas that use limited quantities of tile buy the best quality tile you can afford.
