Beveled subway tile inside corner.
This leaves me with two 45 degree inside corners.
I am about to tile my backsplash using 3 9 beveled subway tile.
The bevel shape with its high and low points throws me for a loop.
We as tile setters know that these new beveled tiles are pretty difficult to work with and finish.
But it turned out that doesn t work with beveled tile.
I am installing 3 6 travertine beveled subway tile in my shower remodel this will be my first time installing beveled tile and your post was very helpful.
If you don t want to install corner trims you can still tile the inside corners in a professional manner but you need to pay more attention while cutting the tiles.

He figured he could finish the corners the way he usually did subway tile by beveling the back on his cuts which gives a nice clean point to the positive corners.
My contractor had experience with beveled tile used for a kitchen backsplash but he d never done an entire bathroom with it.
A mitre cut only means that the cut is done at a 45 degree angle so that both ends connect together to fit a 90 degree angle.
Beveled subway tile needs mitre cuts in corners.
Mitering seems to be the only way.
How to tile inside corners without using trims.
This is a complete job video of a beveled subway tile with crackled finish.
My question is that at one point the tile will be on an outside corner and i am not sure how to deal with that.
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.
For instance if a tile is 3x6 and at the corner you have room for a 2 piece then the piece on the other side of the corner should be 4 to make a whole 6 tile so it looks like the whole tile is folded into the corner and the brick pattern is not interrupted.
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.
Removing tile and dry.
Apply mortar to the back of the tile with the notched trowel.
