Respect. Thank you. Also where did you get those really cool arms that hold up the tile above the window?
You're welcome, If you put "telescopic support rod" into Amazon. You should get a few that come up. Hope that helps!
Lovely work mate, ive tiled a few around windows and you made it look easy, nice work, not many videos of tiling around windows.
Awesome, Glad you liked it! They'll be a video on a large format niche soon.. Which I'll go into a bit more detail, as it's the same methods as a window.
Nice work. Tips to add.. always back butter your tiles and always ensure you create one direction with the ridges in the adhesive so when you place the title the ridges collapse to get 100% coverage 👍
Absolutely, This one was hard to give that advice, as the walls were so bad It was right on the limit of 10mm on the tile and 10mm on the wall. So hard to give the perfect example with this one, ha!
Nice work!
Thanks for watching, Was a tough one!
Really enjoyed the video
Liked the music and don’t listen to that guy
Just liked watching and seeing how you did it
It was all clear to me on how to do it
This is obviously not a beginner how to video
Glad you enjoyed it mate! Thanks for the feedback. It's always a hard balance with detail and just showing the tile process. But that's why I try to aim to do different types of videos. So I'm glad your a fan of this style!
Got some guys redoing my kitchen
They took out everything but left old tiles across the window sill
They have then put in all new stuff
And tiled around the old tiles in the window sill
Is that normal to do when tiling?
Edit: just to add the old tiles are covered with some substance that the builders have left
Hey, Well normally you'd tend to remove everything and start again. There may have been a reason for them to leave the tiles (like we're they forming a part of some structure) But whichever way if they are stuck down, then it'll be fine to go over the top of them. But yes generally you'd remove anything old and start fresh. Hope that helps!
Good job bud, where are the props from?
Thanks! If you put "KWB Mounting" into Amazon. That'll bring them up

Thanks, Glad you enjoyed it!
Wouldnt it be easier to tile the inside first so you have a level to mark off?
You could do if your walls are perfectly level, but it would be a bit backwards.
Why put the trim in that direction, isnt it prone to scratching?
Good question, The answer, No not at all really, Metal trim is pretty versatile. On a floor step it'd take more wear and tear so we'd tend to put it the other way, But not on a window seal. The reason we tend to put trim this way in design bathrooms, Is trim isn't the most attractive thing, So you are keeping a streamlined look, Rather than a big fat edge of trim in your face when looking at the window.
@@thebespokebloke what would your thoughts be in a niche area considering trying to maintain water proofing properties?
For a recess or a niche, Exactly the same as I've done in this video. There is no compromise to waterproofing regarding trim direction. The most import thing is your niche is fully waterproofed before tiling, You can put a silicon bead on trim for extra security, But as long as it's grouted properly , and has silicone around all the internals joints once finished. That would be the standard procedure for a waterproof niche. And to make sure it has a good enough full for water to run back out like in this..th-cam.com/users/shortsEv_8swiU3IU
@@thebespokebloke thanks for the tons useful info, one last question I've come up with, its sounds a bit crazy, but would you consider using PVC panelling edge trim, in theory it can cover a multitude of sins, due to it overlapping lipage which might I add can be of a minimum width, so wouldn't be unsightly.
No worries glad to help, Well I think that's a personal preference question that one, it's not something I'd use. But that's not to say that it's fine for someone else. If it was siliconed on well I'm sure it would be absolutely fine in terms of waterproofing e.t.c
It's just tile....., why is this guy taking it so seriously
Would have been nice to have less of the pointless music and more / some voice over or explanation.
Thanks for the feedback! Don't worry, Content coming soon has a lot more detail on windows and niche's. Stay tuned!
