help with kitchen window trim and tile application
I'm looking for advice on window trim size and placement as well as tile application. One photo shows the 3x9 tile orientation (50-50 offset brick). The window is about 85" including trim and covers most of the wall.
The casing will get removed, trimmed down in length and moved inward to eliminate one reveal. A 3/4" stool will create a reveal at the bottom as well. Is that an appropriate solution?
I like the look of a clean stool under kitchen windows with tile around (no apron) but I'm concerned that cutting 9" tiles lengthwise may look odd, and I'm not sure about tiling over the edge of the drywall (on top of spray foam or framing lumber). It's not traditional but turning the tile 90 degrees and cutting in half would be a clean solution that I see done sometimes. A third option is leaving the whole course of tile on the bottom and adding a small apron to fill the space.

Tile first, then trim around window? Or other way around??
Comments (4)If you don't have the actual trim yet, but now how wide it will be, you can put up temporary strips (grounds) and tile to them. Then they can be removed when the real trim goes in. This is preferred with hardwood, so it doesn't get spoilt by the clumsy tile man (sorry Bill!) Grout and thinset stains oak and cherry.

Comments (8)krissd-- unfortunately she can't do the same thing. Se where your window trim comes down and meets the granite? That's what I meant up above when I said something about "dogears" on the granite-- little pieces that stick out past the opening, for the window trim to die into. She doesn't have them. jan jan-- I would go ahead and take the wood to the counter. maybe do something like a full bullnose edge (semicircle edge)with a lip that would extend all the way to the finished counter surface. I mean, I'm assuming that's cement board you're showing in that picture, and then you still have the tile to go after that.(not to mention that if that's going to be granite tiles on that countertop, one layer of 3/4" plywood is not enough plywood before the cement board goes down)...See MoreNeed paint color help to match window trim with kitchen cabinets
Comments (1)White next to cream is a classic look and will be fine. However, if you don't like it, just take a cabinet door and have them color match it for your trim....See MoreKitchen sink window with tile (no trim) to the ceiling
Comments (7)That is a fantastic idea, we don't have much room to trim out the window over the sink, the cabinets are very close to the window edge. This is a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!...See MoreRelated Professionals
