The whole of the fourth day of the PITT wall tiling course is given over to tiling our bays. With great emphasis and instruction on tiling in and around a window.

Jason is constantly doing the rounds within the bays ensuring all the course members are fully happy with the tasks at hand, I can hear in the other bays that there's plenty of advice and hands on tips being offered. It's always good to go over the things you're not sure about and Jason has no problem spending extra time to explain things fully. I have noticed that all of the course members are doing very well, their tiling progressing nicely.

Our instructor Jason takes the process of tiling around a window step by step. PITT's method of tiling a window is a tried and tested method that I've used many times before and I have no doubt that if the rest of the course follow the technique they'll be able to tackle windows with relative ease.

There's also good instruction on measuring, cutting and installing tile trim. Doing this properly makes all the difference to the finish.

I like how the course is paced with plenty of time to allow everyone the time to get the knack of fixing tiles. Some people are just naturally handy; others are not. And the time PITT allow is ideal for those who want to fix a tile, realise it's not perfect and want to remove and try again. I can definitely say it is better to learn the real basics well than to have a huge array of skills thrown at you in a short space of time.

Jason is also full of time saving tricks which are of genuine benefit, naturally Jason is more than happy to show each individual the techniques.

The last thing we cover today is the different types of grouts available, as we will start with grouting in the morning. There's a lot of information on grouts, how different grouts are more suitable than others in certain scenarios, flexibility requirements and potential hazards surrounding grouts. All in all a very thorough lesson on the materials needed to complete the work.

Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Conclusion

I'd also like to invite all tiling course providers to contact the Tiler Register to get their courses reviewed as all providers are welcome to the same review process.
