Hi Bus Thanks for taking the time to reply. I finished the job over the weekend, and what i did was cut up 6 million strips of 4mm ply, then glue and screw them around the bay. 4 layers made up to match the 19mm thick tile batton that i used on the flat front of the bay. It was a sod to keep level, ...

Tile batton

Hi All,

Does anybody know the best way of bending tile batton around a bay.
I've even got 10mm thick batton, and it still splits!!
Wet it?? Cut grooves in the back of the batton???
Has anybody had any experience??

Kind Regards

Another question!!!!!!! How the b....y hell do I curve the tile batton around the bay. I've thought of wetting it, but I'm frightened of it splitting it when it dries. I've also thought of cutting grooves out in the back of the batton, but will this create weak points, and just give it somewhere to ...

Thanks for all your help Bus,
I have decided to do a proper job!
Lead work on both sides, render over lead work to a stainless stop bead.
I'm going to be living here for a while. and I certainly don't want to be doing it again in the future.

Kind Regards

Thanks Bus, it's all becoming a bit clearer now!!

What do you mean by incorporating a "cement fillet" for the tiles that come round and finish square with the house wall?
I think I would prefer doing something different than having too much lead work.

Thanks for your help

You need to cross bond your new feed to the shower pump with everything else in the bathroom!
Apart from that it sounds ok.

Hi,
All you need to do is connect your 4mm earth to any earth terminal in your shower or isolator/pull cord.

Job done

Sorry I thought it was called lap tiling!! (what's lap tiling?) Thanks for your help so far. Behind the render is stud work. My bay is only round at one side, and my main concern is how I weather the side that is flat with the house. (hope that makes sense) I think the tiles when finished, will prot...

Lap tiling between two bay windows

Hi All, could anyone give me some advice on lap tiling between my two bay windows. At the moment my house is rendered, and I want to hack off the render between the two windows and tile it. The house down the road has done it, and it looks really nice. I'm a sparky, have a large selection of other s...
