Tiling Around Corners

External Corners

It is best when setting out tiles to plan for whole tiles at each face of an external corner. If this isn't possible, try to have the whole tile on the face you look at the most. Overlap the tiles at the corner so that the row along one face hides the edges of the row on the other. Again, you should aim to have the full tile on the wall you look at most. You can also buy a special tile trim that fits around the corner and provides a rounded surface between the two rows of tiles.

Internal Corners

The rows of tiles at the adjacent faces of an internal corner will have to overlap so that one is behind the other. Lay the tiles along the face that will fit behind the others first, measuring and cutting each tile to fit the gap. Leave enough space for grout at the edge.
