Pro Tip: Tile Tips for Non-Plumb Walls

[@lauriephillips6588]

Genius! I tried it on my ceiling tiles and it worked wonderfully! Thank you so much!!!

[@willarddickerson921]

I really appreciate you. I did not think about this. You do beautiful work.

[@marlymedia]

This is really helpful. I’ve been watching tiling videos all afternoon and nobody else has mentioned this!

[@Lindserr1989]

Quick and concise, thanks for the tip! 🎉

my house was built in 1913, it's never seen a flat level wall in its life. Useful to know this, when tiling as a non pro I tend to think of the tiles individually, it is of course common sense that you can view them as a plate and measure and cut accordingly but it never occurred to me to do that. Much obliged. :)

hello.around my window.bathroon tikes.not cut good anyway I can hide this? like strips etc

[@juliomazzarella2320]

That's a very smart technique! Would you recommend using the same technique when the celing is not plum by 1/2" to 3/4"?

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Absolutely!

That’s when you call me to get everything flat before you start . Thats pretty drastic

[@MM-gl1xz]

Is that grout that is in the corner or is it a trim? The reason I'm asking is I'm doing a thin grout and have a similar problem with non plumb wall and I don't know if that two-point cut will show. I'm trying to figure out what the advantage is if I'm not using a thick grout or Trim in the corner.

I planned on tiling behind my toilet wall… there’s a 12 inch spot that is about 1/2” humped up vertically beside my toilet piping. My tiles are 12x24. I am only going up about 35”, so I need it level. Can I grind that hump down and plaster it smooth and level? And use leveling clips.

So here I was googling for handmade colorful mirror ideas and one of your images popped up which in turn lead me to your website 😬 I was like “I better find this chick on KZbin NOW!” So here I am 🤣 New Subscriber 👍🏼💕

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

So happy you found me!

[@angellavargo8474]

which manual tile cutter do you use?

[@juliodolmus5720]

That's a montolit tile cutter.

Nice tip!

[@Dynomique]

You need to stagger your tiles for a more natural look and to hide any imperfections

[@jordancartwright1414]

Or plumb your back wall clips are so cheap just make it plumb for shower walls for screen and follow outside walls to save glue

[@sharonsweeting1367]

Great hint!!

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

Thank you Sharon.

So weird to here old imperial measurements

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

“HERE” in the US, we never switched to metric (though I wish we could, everything is bought, sold, and advertised in imperial.)

[@JNYSDUBS]

Maybe plum the walls before you start boarding/ tiling? Seems like it makes more sense 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@PrettyHandyGirl]

I furred out the walls to the best of my ability, but this is an old house and there isn't a plumb wall in sight. Thanks for your unhelpful comment.

[@calandrariggins5846]

Tile should be ran in subway tile style. It would’ve looked so much better.

[@erikaingerson8564]

@@calandrariggins5846 the way she did it, is more "in" now. To each their own. Unnecessary comment

[@whatoh3407]

Ass

[@shaynewyatt255]

[@Dynomique]

This is exactly why you stagger your tiles when tiling to make it look natural
