How to prevent sagging when tiling above large opening

Post by Greggerly »

hi guys
I'll be tailing above a large opening (2m wide) and supporting tiles will be difficult.
Are there any smart ways to prevent sagging? My tiles are large and heavy and will sag for quite a while.
The only thing I came up with is hanging them temporarily on 2 loops the string and then cutting it off when glue sets.
All better ideas welcome

A.If you are using tile trim then trim all around the opening and allow the trim adhesive time to set.
B.prop a length of wood in the head reveal. allow it to project 25mm.
