Blog :: the drain cap

the drain cap

Here is the drain cap that needs to be tiled around. The first tile is easy as it only needs a little cutting out to fit. I don't want to go right up against the cap as down the road somebody might need to remove it. I want to keep the tile away from the cap about the same as the grout line, after I grout and fill this in then everything will flow.

Now for the other tile to go around the cap, what would you do? You have one full tile to go around 98% on this cap, and you want to keep the cut lines to the least amount as possible.

   

Tomorrow, a little trick I use to get this shape/measurement to the tile.
