DIY & Home Improvement

Are there any whole pieces of tile from the original batch left? On things like aluminum, and particularly brushed aluminum, any replaced pieces often stand out more glaringly than a small dent. Our eyes will always look at the largest imperfection first; fix that and then there is another largest imperfection. Being this is special and familiar to you (I don't mean this negatively), you will see details that no one else will notice. Guys in trades like this might tell you to squint your eyes when you look at it because that is closer to how others will see it.

As far as where the tiles line up and where they started - not enough information. It is normal to start with a whole tile at a corner and then work toward the open end, finishing with a bullnosed piece or cap of some type.
