Herringbone Tile Inside Corner

Also known as chevrons or zig zags.

Herringbone tile inside corner.

To start place a full tile a tilted at 45 degrees against the edge or corner of the work area in our example the right bottom side. Any item which is not in stock can be custom made to suit your taste and requirements. This is pretty easy to do when it s the corner you start with. Just cut from alternating corners at 45.

I didn t worry about whether or not it was sitting at a perfect 45 degree angle at this point. Mark a tile using your speed square and pencil drawing a cut line from one corner at 45 degrees. If you have to install strips of tile along the inside corner you should measure the distance from the last tile in the row to the corner making sure you take into account the expansion gap. He claims it has to do with the amount of light able to get into that corner.

That it is the nature of the herringbone pattern. Press the tile against the wall with the cut side facing the corner and the other edge next to the last full tile in the course. I just put the tile on the wall and guestimated at the angle for now. Next spread tile adhesive on the back of the tiles and install them into position.

Apply mortar to the back of the tile with the notched trowel. What i want to see is the corner behind you. I started installing with this tile outlined below making sure that the bottom corner met the intersection of both lines. It almost looks as though grey tiles were placed in the corner instead of white.

Work with great care as you might move the plastic trim from position. Space the two tiles consistent with the rest of the tiles generally 1 8 inch which will leave a 1 4 inch space at the corner.
