You can expect to spend about four to five hours tiling a standard 36x40 inch double hung window.
Tiling a bathroom wall with a window.
Use bullnose tiles to round off the edges of the window frame and tile the wall first.
With the sill in i can tile the sides of the window.
Line up a tile with the edge of the window and protruding out over the full sized tiles on the wall.
Mark the tile where it overlaps the full sized tile and number it on the back side.
Place a tile against the wall and add a tile spacer to the side of it.
When tiling bathtubs backsplashes and other areas that use limited quantities of tile buy the best quality tile you can afford.
When installing the tiles around windows make sure you first secure the tile corner trim in thinset.
Another thing i offer my clients is a shampoo niche.
You shouldn t need to cut the tile unless it is an end tile that completes the row.
Then measure around the window as to cut the tiles with a score and snap cutter or a wet saw to fit into location.
Anytime the tile meets the window itself i use a sealant.
This will allow you to leave room for the adhesive that will secure your tiles to the wall.
