Tiling - bad edge on outside or inside?

[lister]

I am tiling a shower cubicle. The upper half of the cubicle has tiles, whereas the wall that it butts to doesn't.

The corner is is an outside corner (270 degrees as opposed to a normal

90 degree inside corner). This means that the edge of the tile is visible.

I am having to cut the tiles to size using one of those motorised tile cutters. This is great but doesn't leave a perfect edge. There are slight nicks etc out of the glaze.

So my question is, do I put the bad edge on the corner, or against the next tile? I am leaning toward against the next tile so at least the grout will disguise a lot of the imperfections, but wondered if there was a standard way of doing this?

Cheers, Lister

Use the plastic edging strip that is very easyly available. This will:

a) Hide the cut edge of the tile. b) Protect the edge of the tiles from knocks. c) Provide a nice smooth profile for the edge.

Ah yes! I know the stuff.

Thanks both.
