Tile laying at an angle joint. How to tile corners

You can join the tiles in the corners in different ways. It all depends on fantasy and judgment “what is good and what is bad”. For an internal corner, two connection methods are possible:

• Docking tiles with the help of an internal patch corner.

The inner corner of the cladding can be ennobled with a plastic corner. But this method is being used less and less. This has its own reason - why do we need an extra detail.

• Easy pairing of tiles.

You can arrange the joining of two tiles on the wall in the corner without plastic, just with a seam. Usually such a seam is placed on the invisible side of the corner. If you lay tiles in a corner without a seam, then after grouting, there will be a black gap at the junction. Fix later, you can only silicone. And it's good if the color of silicone and grout match. Which rarely happens.

Docking tiles on the inside corner.

Disadvantages. A grout crack may appear in such a joint. Western technology recommends for drywall and similar structures, to fill vertical seams on the inside corners with sanitary silicone. For brick walls, such a precaution is superfluous.

Seal the inner corner of the shower cabin with silicone.

With options for the outer corner, a person's imagination is more fruitful. Here you can apply five docking methods:

• The most common is to close the edge of the tile with an overhead outer corner. It can be plastic, aluminum or brass. But the essence and method of installation does not change from this. Installation is carried out during tiling. Flaws – This is another design element. The smaller the number of such details, the more interesting the design. And further. Corners get dirty faster and are more difficult to clean along with ceramics.

Outer plastic corner on the box

• Recently, laying tiles in corners with an outer corner has become less popular. “Everything is like everyone else” is the main culprit of this cooling. The technology of grinding tiles at the end at an angle of 45 degrees comes to replace. This makes it possible to do without corners. The angle becomes more natural and harmonious. But to make such an angle requires skill and tools. That does not make this method cheaper than the previous ones. The second disadvantage of this solution is increased vulnerability. At the slightest impact, the tile breaks off at the point of grinding.

• The third method is less common, but still, it is present in the decoration of the outer corners. Especially in tiling boar. Its meaning is to alternately set the end of the tile to one side, then to the other. There are people who think that "it's beautiful." This is their right. And maybe there is something in it.

The option of facing the corner with “boar” tiles

• The fourth technique can be considered a variation of the previous one. Only the end of the tile is visible on one side of the corner. It is not hidden and is not ennobled in any way. This method is typical for tiles on steps and protruding plinths. Otherwise, in these cases it is impossible. The only trick you can use is to expose the painted end of the tile. On many tiles, one of the four ends is the color of the tile. Another option is possible with natural stone cladding.

• The fifth way is very rare and not for everyone. I am one of those lovers. The idea of ​​such a design of the corner is that none of the tiles protrude on the line of the corner, but is located in its own plane. The inner corner formed from the two ends of the tiles is formed using grout in a semicircle.

Below is a video where there are still lovers of this angle:

• Sixth way. Little known but interesting in design and method of implementation.

Excerpts and consultations:

1. How to tile an inner corner with uneven walls?

On uneven walls, before cladding, it is necessary to do . Having previously determined where and how far the angle goes from the vertical. Otherwise, such an option is possible that, starting from the bottom with a whole tile, a gap of several centimeters will appear under the ceiling at the corners (depending on the walls).

Tiles on the inside corner with curved walls.

If you start filling these gaps with pieces of tiles, then the entire wedge on the wall will be noticeable. The seams are more or less vertical. Therefore, for each case, its own tile layout. But the general rule is that you need to put pieces of tiles around the edges (if the layout allows). Moreover, the pieces should be large, more than half of the tile. On such pruning, the deviation of the walls from the vertical is not visible.

Other tile options in the corner.

2. “…how are tiles joined at corners abroad?”

Strongly do not "bother". Basically, the “G” chrome corner covers the end of the tile:

When carrying out repairs in rooms with high humidity, tiling in the bathroom is used as a finish, the corners of which are a big problem for beginners. on a flat surface is not very difficult, problems usually begin at the moment when it is necessary to join two panels. In fact, it is not so difficult, the main thing is to follow the technology. You can watch a short video about laying tiles in the corners of the bathroom, and it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the theory below, all the questions in the video cannot be disassembled.

Corner tile options

Depending on the complexity of the corner, one of three ways of laying tiles is used, which will be more convenient.

1. The most, perhaps, the most difficult for beginners, but with due care it is quite real. Before laying the tiles in the corners, they are cut at 45 degrees. To do this, use, which can be purchased at any hardware store. The main advantage of this method is that the corner is beautifully and originally designed. However, it is better to entrust this work to specialists.

2. Another method used by professionals. The use of special corner profiles that are fixed to the wall with silicone sealant. More simple in execution, the main thing is to choose the right corner according to the size and thickness of the tile that is inserted into the profile. The result is a very even angle.

These corners are available in different colors and from different materials. It can be metal, plastic or aluminum, so choosing the right option is not difficult.

3. Not the most attractive, but the easiest way, tiling the corners with butt-to-butt tiles. In this case, the edge of a tile located on one wall covers the edge of another panel, located perpendicularly.

How to lay tiles in the corners?

As a rule, tiles begin to be laid on the walls, and only then on the floor. But if later you want to clean fresh floor installation from construction debris, you can, of course, vice versa.

Finishing the corners with tiles between the wall and the floor does not require special processing, since it is usually covered with a plinth. Therefore, the bottom row of wall tiles is laid with a small gap.

On the walls, tiles begin to be laid from the most prominent corner. To do this, apply glue to the wall with a notched trowel.

After that, they begin laying the tiles from the bottom row from the corner (do not forget to leave a gap above the floor surface).

The horizontality of the row and the verticality of the panels are checked using a level. In this case, you should not focus on the floor surface.

In order to ensure uniform gaps, when laying tiles in the bathroom, special plastic crosses are inserted into the corners. This will ensure the same gap between the panels.

The same applies to the gap between adjacent rows of tiles and the wall or floor. Moreover, the installation of crosses is necessary for any method of subsequent processing of corners.

In this way we put the panels until the next turn. We lay the last panel only if it rises in its entirety. If the tile requires trimming, leave this work until the next processing of the corner. The same applies to window openings, first you need to close the wall with solid panels, and leave the corners themselves, both internal and external, for the last stage.

To connect plumbing in the bathroom, there are always pipe outlets, which are also covered with tiles, only the outlets remain directly. In order to carefully carry out the work, all extensions are removed from the pipes before tiling. In the place where a hole is required, we drill it with a special nozzle (diamond crown) on a drill.

It should be borne in mind that the work is already carried out on the tiles glued to the wall. Punching a hole or scraping is not recommended, as you will end up with a lot of chips or cracks. After the entire wall is covered with solid panels, you can start processing the corners.

Features of laying tiles in the corners

Before you lay out the tiles in the corner, immediately decide which method you will use. Each styling method has its own nuances, but one rule applies to everyone. When laying tiles, it is necessary to observe the verticality and horizontality of the panels, and be based on level readings, and not measure these parameters relative to another surface such as a floor or ceiling. Another important point when buying tiles, choose the size of the panels, taking into account that the tiles lie on all the walls in whole panels or in large parts.

In principle, there are no special rules for simple butt-to-butt laying. The main thing is to observe a flat surface of the tile. If, before laying the tiles in the corners, it is necessary to cut off the excess part from the panel, it is better to use a tile cutter, this will allow you to create an even cut without chips.

When using a corner, it is also called a trim, you first need to measure its length and cut off the appropriate piece from the profile. Before installing the trim, it and the corner in which it will be installed are coated with sealant. The corner is installed strictly vertically (we check with a level), while applying the even part to the already laid tile, panels of the other wall will be installed in the groove on the other side. After completion of work, but not earlier than in a day, it is necessary to grout the joints. Moreover, the seams with installed trims are also smeared.

The 45 degree tile cut option is best for laying outside corner tiles. Although on the inside, such a finish will look very attractive. This will require a special tile cutter with a rotary bed. The cutting angle must be carefully adjusted, otherwise the desired result will not work. When cutting, it is necessary to use a diamond-coated blade, which must be in perfect condition. After trimming, the edges of the tiles must be sanded. In the case of an internal corner, tile laying is carried out with a small gap for.

Tile is one of the most popular, practical and inexpensive finishing materials. That is why tiles are so often found on walls, floors and ceilings in the kitchen, bathroom or toilet room. But when tiling with tiles alone, you can’t do it. To make the interior look beautiful and complete, it will be necessary to use additional elements, including a corner.

Advantages

The tile corner is not an obligatory element of the cladding, but, nevertheless, it solves a very important functional and decorative task.

To fully appreciate the benefits of the corner, you need to carefully consider its advantages:

1. The ability to design complex geometric surfaces. Cutting a tile at an angle of 45 ° is very difficult, and sometimes impossible at all. Using a corner allows you to solve this problem and do without cutting at all.
2. Masking irregularities and roughness of the tile edge. The cut, decorated with a corner, is perfectly even and smooth.
3. decorative factor. The corner, made in a contrasting color, gives the finished canvas a finished and neat look.
4. Waterproofing. Using a corner is an ideal solution to the issue of moisture getting into the joints between the tiles. The corner prevents the formation of mold and the appearance of a fungus, the service life of the coating itself is significantly increased.
5. Security. Using a corner helps prevent possible injuries when slipping on a wet floor. The corners and ends of the tiles may have chips or irregularities, which can lead to various cuts or injuries.

If the design involves cladding a bathroom or another room in a complex stylistic solution, such as baroque, folklore, ethnicity, then the corner may be an indispensable part of the composition.

Species and types

The corner is used to decorate corners, joints between tiles, complex surfaces, junctions between plumbing fixtures and a wall, etc. According to its form, it is divided into two groups: external and internal.

1. External corner. It is used to decorate wall ledges. This is necessary because this part of the coating is under constant mechanical stress. The sharp ends of the tiles closed with a corner completely eliminate the danger to nearby people. In this case, the corner also performs a purely protective function. The outer corner can be laid immediately when laying tiles or after finishing work on the finished floor.
2. Inner corner. It is used to decorate the corner joints of tiles at the intersection of adjacent planes, for example, wall and ceiling, as well as the junction of a shower cabin and a wall. Such a corner has a somewhat rounded, concave shape. The use of an internal corner prevents moisture from entering the seams between tiles or tiles and the wall.

Depending on the functions performed, the corners can be decorative or functional. The decorative corner is used purely for aesthetic purposes. Contrasting or identical in color with the main canvas, the corner gives the interior a more harmonious and stylish look. The functional corner takes on a serious mechanical load.

Most often, the corners are made of plastic, metal or ceramics. However, the fastest, cheapest, but also short-lived and less attractive joint design option is a tape border. Most often, such a corner is self-adhesive. Some models are pre-treated with a fungicide to prevent mold and mildew. Such a corner is very easy to use, it bends well and does not crack.

Material

For the manufacture of corners, the following materials are used:

• Metal (aluminum). Universal material, the shade of which is in harmony with any color scheme of the interior. In addition, aluminum is perfectly combined with other metal structures of the room, such as a shower cabin or other plumbing fixtures. The advantages of such a corner include its lightness, high strength, durability, resistance to corrosion.
• Corners are often made from metal alloys. Most often they are covered with gold or silver paint (such options are considered universally suitable for different color schemes of the interior). Corners are nickel-plated or chrome-plated.
• PVC corner (polyvinyl chloride) has a number of advantages. It is very light, strong enough, has excellent water resistance, and is presented in a huge range of colors, which makes it easy to choose the right option for even the most sophisticated interior.
• Ceramic corner (or profile "under ceramics")- one of the best options in terms of aesthetic integrity of the interior. Often a ceramic corner is part of a tile collection, so it is best to purchase just such a model.

If we compare corners from different materials according to several criteria, then metal will, of course, not be the first in terms of durability. The materials with the shortest service life are polyethylene and PVC.

Metal corners also provide the greatest tightness. The worst indicator in this list is plastic.

The advantages of polyethylene tape include the ease of installation and the lowest cost of the materials presented above. However, constant exposure to moisture leads to the fact that after a couple of years the tape will have to be changed. Plastic is a very affordable material, it is easy to install, resistant to fungus and mold, and quite elastic.

The advantages of the ceramic corner, in addition to high strength and water resistance, can also be attributed to low thermal conductivity and impeccable aesthetic appearance for a long time of service. Among the shortcomings, one can single out the high cost, the complexity of installation, especially in interiors with non-standard architectural design. Perhaps the only wear factor for ceramics is impact resistance. After a strong impact, ceramics can quickly begin to crumble, so they should be replaced as soon as possible.

How to choose?

The choice of corner for tiles depends on several factors:

1. Tile thickness. Depending on this indicator, the corner can also have a number of different thicknesses. Professional builders recommend choosing a corner 1 mm larger than the thickness of the purchased tile.
2. Design features. According to the type of rigidity, the corners are divided into 3 groups (hard, semi-rigid and soft). Depending on the complexity of the architecture, you can choose the most suitable option for the corner. Plastic is perfectly cut and is suitable for the design of complex geometric structures, including curvilinear ones. The metal profile is ideal for a geometrically clear and direct space.
3. Before buying a corner, it is best to take a sample of the tile that you plan to use for cladding to the store. So you can choose a corner that is most suitable in color. This applies, of course, to those cases when a corner and a tile are purchased from different collections.

Styling options

Before choosing a laying option, it is necessary to determine which ceiling covering will be used. If the ceiling is made of plasterboard or it is suspended, then this is an ideal option. The corners are installed exactly to the mark where the ceiling covering will pass. Before installing the corner, it is necessary to make the necessary measurements and perform trimming.

There is no unambiguous decision about what to lay first - tiles or tiles.

• The first option is laying corners on a pre-marked surface. Then the main canvas is laid, and the tiles at the joints with the corner are trimmed.
• The second option is tiling the walls and laying the corners. This method is a little easier than the first one, but the first one looks neater.

Before starting laying, experts advise taking careful measurements and marking the walls, as well as filing the corners at the joints. The type of finished interior depends on how correctly and accurately this stage of work is performed.

How to install?

Typically, tiling starts from around the bathtub.

Laying a corner over a tile is done as follows:

1. The surface of the tile must be carefully prepared, cleaned and degreased.
2. Then the places where the bathtub contacts the wall are treated with a sealant. Even if the bath is close to the wall, there are still gaps. Moisture can get in there and provoke the appearance of fungus and mold. After sealing the joint, the corner is treated with an adhesive solution (liquid nails) and placed against the surface of the bath. In this case, the bar must be pressed tightly over the entire surface.
3. Next, the tiles are laid in a vertical direction, and then the internal and external corners are mounted.

Every home craftsman who first started facing knows how to join tiles in the corners. And only with experience comes the understanding that there are no ideal right angles in construction, and therefore laying tiles is not at all as simple as it might seem at first glance. Over the years, true skill comes, and it turns out that there are not one, not two, but many more ways to decorate both the outer and inner corners. And each of them has the right to exist, and can be the only true one in a certain situation.

First of all - layout!

And the lining of any room begins with the layout, since in typical apartments there are not only perfectly right angles, but also there are no perfectly even walls. The master tiler carefully measures the room, evaluates the condition of the walls, floor, examines the corners to choose the way to decorate each. It depends on what method of joining the tiles in the outer and inner corners depends on:

• choice of tool for work;
• the number of tiles purchased in excess of the norm, in reserve;
• Actually, the layout itself.

Basic layout rules

The layout begins with the surface that will be most noticeable. For example, for a bathroom, this is a wall located opposite the front door. It is laid out first, and only then - the walls adjacent to it. The temptation to start facing from the corner is great, but if you give in, it is almost guaranteed that cracks will appear in the corners and under the ceiling, sometimes several centimeters wide, which will have to be laid out in tiny trimmings. As a result, the deviation of the wall from the vertical will be very noticeable, and the impression of the work of the master will remain extremely negative for the customer. Therefore, when making a layout, you need to follow certain rules:

How to join tiles in internal corners

There are very few options for decorating the inner corner. You can do this in the following ways:

• with the help of an overlay corner (trim)
• the design of a regular seam without additional details.

Making a corner with a plastic profile

This option is used in internal vertical corners, as a rule, by novice craftsmen. With experience comes the understanding that a plastic part, which rarely matches perfectly in color with, rather reduces the cost than decorates the interior. An exception to the rule is the use of trims at the junction of the floor and wall covering. Here, almost always, a corner is appropriate and desirable. The housewives do not like plastic corners in the bathroom - because they quickly become dirty, but tiles are much more difficult to maintain.

Easy pairing of 2 rows of tiles

Self-joining tiles in the inner corner has clear advantages. Firstly, the corner designed in this way looks more organic, especially in small rooms. Secondly, this method does not require additional parts, which further increase the cost of repairs.

Of course, the simple pairing method also has disadvantages. This is the professionalism of the master as a necessary condition and a high probability of cracking along the seam due to the natural tendency of the tile to narrow and expand. Especially often this problem occurs when facing plasterboard structures, but on brick walls this is a rarity.

Prevention of crack formation are:

• correct calculation of the width of the seam;
• use in vertical inner corners of sanitary silicone.

Important! The design of the inner corner without the use of the patch corner and without the design of the seam is unacceptable! The result of this installation will be a black gap at the junction. It will be possible to correct the appearance only with silicone. But it is unlikely that it will be possible to pick it up exactly in the tone of the grout.

How to join tiles in outer corners

There are many more ways to arrange an external corner. This is:

• use of trims and ;
• technology for trimming the ends of tiles at an angle of 45 °;
• simple laying of one row of tiles on the edge of another;
• forming an angle with grout.

Method 1: Using a corner trim to lay out outside corners

Today, shops offer a wide range of corner profiles for laying tiles. They are made from plastic, aluminum and even brass and come in a variety of colors and sizes. The size of the corner must be selected based on the thickness of the selected tile, which is usually 7, 9 or 11 mm.

Interestingly, in most European countries, trims are used everywhere, due to the ease of the corner design method. In Russia, the mass fashion for corners is slowly but surely declining for a number of reasons:

• the desire to be not like everyone else;
• the small size of most apartments, in which extra details in the cladding crush the room, visually making it even smaller;
• fragility of plastic trims, and their high tendency to pollution;
• the high cost of metal corners;
• the emergence of new, more aesthetic methods of facing the outer corners.

Trim angle installation

Installation of a decorative corner is made after one wall in the room is completely lined. Then, silicone sealant is applied over the entire height of the corner using a mounting gun. The flat side of the trim is applied to the already laid tile, while the groove of the part remains free to lie on the adjoining wall. In the future, the tile is laid along this wall from the bottom up, and the master inserts the edge of the facing material into the groove of the corner. A day after the end of work, the seams between the tile and the trim are overwritten. Similarly, the installation of a decorative element is carried out in the corners located horizontally.

Method 2: Cut the edge of the tile at a 45° angle

If the question "How to connect the tiles in the outer corners?" the master replies: “Of course, at an angle of 45 °!” - you have a real professional in front of you. Simply because this method is too tough for beginners, because it requires experience, firmness of movements and a lot of time. In addition, one cannot do without a good tool, namely an angle grinder. She works with a diamond disc. If you need to cut double-fired tiles, it is better to use a tile cutter with a swivel-type bed.

The disadvantage of this design is the fragility of the resulting angle. One has only to hit the masonry edge well, and with a high probability the tile will break off. Nevertheless, fans of the method are ready to put up with it, because no other way of designing a corner gives such a harmonious result: the beveled edges fit perfectly with each other, and form a perfectly right angle with a thin, barely noticeable gap.

Method 3. Laying one row of tiles on the edge of another

This technique is good for beginners, because there is nothing complicated in it. First, one wall is completely laid out with facing material, then another, the extreme tile of which simply overlaps the edge of the tiles laid perpendicularly. Very often, this laying method is chosen for laying tiles with relief, because in most cases it is chosen, yielding to the opinion that seams, joints and wall irregularities will not be so noticeable on the textured surface. This is true, as well as the fact that it is embossed, it is very difficult to dock beautifully in the corners.

Another type of laying method is in a run: in the first row, tiles of one wall are placed on top, in the second - another, and so on. Very often this method is used when facing rooms. As a result, the masonry turns out to be deliberately careless, as appropriate as possible in country or loft-style interiors.

Method 4. Forming a corner with grout

Its essence: laying tiles without trimming and without protrusion on the outer corner. The resulting gap is formed in the form of a semicircle using grout or other adhesives. It must be admitted that the technique is still unpopular, both among the masters and among the customers. Although it allows you to solve a common problem: to eliminate the fragility of the outer corner and prevent cracking of the seam, which is especially common on plasterboard walls. Therefore, any master tiler should know how to close the joints in the corners with grout.

How to join tiles in corners

The greatest difficulty in the process of finishing work with tiles is the design of the joints.

Despite the apparent correctness of the geometry of the room, there are no perfectly flat surfaces. It is for this reason that it is necessary to choose the optimal variant of the angular junction of the tile, which can be represented:

• laying corners with trims;
• mounting the outer corner with a special corner;
• laying tiles "butt to joint" with an angle along the front side of 45 degrees;
• laying with the execution of washing down the ends;
• corner laying "butt-to-butt" without washed down.

Tile and tile joint options

Standard joining of tiles is carried out in the corners and the execution option entirely depends on the type of corner: internal and external (the classification of the corners is the same as when installing the ceiling plinth described in this). There is no universal advice here and the technology will depend on many factors. In addition, each method has not only advantages, but also shortcomings which must be taken into account when choosing a docking option.

Joints at internal corners

Docking in the conditions of an internal corner can be framed in two different, but equally effective ways:

Docking with an internal overlay corner

It is used for corner arrangement quite often and is based on the use of a plastic corner. Refers to less appropriate due to the presence of an additional, and sometimes unnecessary detail.

Standard Pairing

The most profitable option, which allows you not to use additional details and is based on the design of a simple seam. As a rule, the seam is performed on the invisible part of the corner. The main thing is to correctly calculate the size of the seam so that at the final stage it is possible to use high-quality grout.

The main disadvantages include the possible education cracking in places of grouting, which is due to the tendency of the tile to expand-narrow. Experienced technologists recommend using the sanitary silicone filling method to fill the vertical joints of internal corners. It is especially important to comply with this requirement for structures.

Joints at outer outer corners

External corners suggest several options for arranging joints at once, which allows you to perform high-quality design even in the absence of experience in this kind of work:
Using an overlay corner
It is the most common way. It is allowed to use external corners made of plastic, aluminum or brass. Such elements are mounted during the laying process, but tend to collect a significant amount of pollution.

Using an overlay corner
is the most common way. It is allowed to use external corners made of plastic, aluminum or brass.

Tile grinding method
This technology is based on grinding the end of the tile at an angle of forty-five degrees. The way is different naturalness and harmony, but requires the use of a special tool and the presence of certain skills.

Tile cutting method. This technology is based on grinding the end of the tile at an angle of forty-five degrees.

Interleaving method
A rather rare and unpopular option, which is most often used when laying boar tiles. Due to the alternate installation of the end part of the tile on different sides of the outer corner. Sometimes this method has a one-way execution.
Through grouting
A rather rare method, which consists in decorating a corner by arranging all the tiles in their planes, without a protrusion on the corner line. The inter-end internal corner formed as a result of such installation is formed in a semicircle with a special grout.

In the presence of uneven walls, before starting the cladding process, it should be performed, as a result of which it is necessary to determine the level of the slope of the vertical direction.

In each case, the size of the gap under the ceiling should be minimized, as this option makes the wedge on the wall more visible. You should follow the rule according to which large pieces of tiles must be mounted along the edges. The dimensions of the fragments used in the work must be at least 23 full tiles. Such trimming allows you to make wall deviations from the vertical less noticeable.

Joint between wall and floor

A competent junction of floor and wall tiles is carried out even during the installation process using a ruler, which should be applied at the junction of the floor and wall. Attach a square to the ruler and stretch the tape measure to the opposite wall. The resulting perpendicular line serves as the main reference for finishing work.

To get the correct and high-quality joint, laying should be carried out from the far corner from the doorway. At the initial stage, it is necessary to determine not very noticeable places for using the trimmed tile.

The inner corners of the joints of the floor and wall masonry are finished with special trims - plastic profiles that perfectly decorate the places where the tiles converge. Tight docking of the trim with wall or floor tiles is obtained due to flexible top comb. You can read about laying tiles on the floor.

A competent junction of floor and wall tiles is carried out even during the installation process using a ruler, which should be applied at the junction of the floor and wall.

Niche lining rules

If necessary, arrange a window opening should designate the parts of the tiles to be trimmed. The cut line is carefully drawn with a tile cutter, and then an unnecessary tile fragment is carefully bitten off with tongs. The procedure is standard and does not cause any difficulties even for non-professionals.

Beveling edges with a grinder

To make a neat bevel of the tile edges, you need to use an angle grinder and a diamond blade for dry cutting. Sanding must be done with extreme care. It is advisable to make several trial or training cuts on substandard tiles. When working with double-fired tiles, it is advisable to use a tile cutter for wet cutting.

Joining bevelled edges allows you to get very thin, barely visible gap, which is ideal for decorating any prominent places.

The angle grinder allows you to join any tile and lay tiles with chimneys at an angle of 45 °. However, to minimize damage to the glaze, it is not recommended to sand in close proximity to the glazed surface. The optimal distance to the glaze is about two millimeters.

The two tiles meet perfectly at a 45° beveled edge, resulting in a neat right angle. All minor irregularities are easily eliminated with a special solution for seams.

If there is a need to use a special tool or the geometry of the space is significantly uneven, it is recommended to invite professionals to carry out the work. Simple finishing options are quite possible to do on your own.
