How to Trim Tile on Uneven Walls

Laying floor tiles up against a wall is not always simple. In some cases you have obstacles or uneven walls to which you need to lay the tiles. To fit the tiles next to door frames and other obstacles, you need to measure the space and objects to get the dimensions. However with an uneven wall a simple tool is all you need.

Scribe or protractor
Router

Instructions

- 1
  Place the tile against the uneven wall and adjust it so that it is straight. If you have a small gap between the tile and the wall, you can trim it to fit flush.
- 2
  Set up a scribe, or protractor, to a measurement of 1/4-inch gap. Run the scribe along the wall so that it marks the tile with a similar line as the wall.
- 3
  Cut the tile along the marked line so that it fits along the wall. Use a router so you can follow the line even if it curves. Since the wall is uneven, you need to adhere each tile, before moving on to the next so that you know what part of the wall you are working on with each tile.
