Oct 12, 2024 · Because you’ve cut the anchor leg down to 1/4″, you’ll need to remove all the thinset under every tile along this edge, to a depth of at least 1/4″. This will allow you push the trim into this gap, and up against the tile edge. This will be a **** of a lot of work, and VERY tedious, but it’s certainly possible with some time and patience.
- shower tile edge detail #1 - Slab material. I absolutely love to use a slab material as a transition when I can. It presents such a neat and tidy look, provides a slight inside corner for the tile to die into, and is easy to maintain, long term.
- shower tile edge detail #2 - Tile with trim piece or finished edge. In some situations, like in really small bathrooms where I don’t want a big transition to show up between the shower and floor or walls, then I might do a trim piece or a tile with a bullnose edge piece to end the tile.
- shower tile edge detail #3 - Door jambs or other inside corner transitions. In this bathroom remodel, below, we had a door jamb on one side of the shower and then a tall cabinet on the other that we could die the tile into.
- shower tile edge detail #4 - Schluter Trim. I rarely use Schluter trim to finish off tile, although many designers do. I might use the white version if I had to, with a white tile, hoping it would blend in and go away visually, but I just feel it often looks too abrupt or just not well thought out.

What you are doing is correct. I usually will cut baseboard up to trim at a 90, and then miter a bevel to the thickness of the tile trim. Makes a nice, clean transition. You’re on target for sure. Using the Schluter metal as a starting point for the base trim is perfect.
Last phase: apply Three (3) coats of Aquaq defense waterproofing membrane solution to all surfaces applying heavily paying close attention to the bottom of the cement board and the shower pan. Once all three coats are dry. Lay out my tile design and calculate and install tile letting the last row of tile come within 1/4" of pan.
Jan 4, 2024 · I use 23/32 or 3/4 inch plywood subfloor panels inside showers. This prevents bathroom subfloor deflection which can cause KERDI shower pan leaks. I apply a 1/2 inch bead of construction adhesive to the floor joists. Then I screw the plywood panels down with 2-inch construction screws. The screw schedule is important.

Bull nose trim is a piece of tile that has an oval-shaped edge. It looks particularly clean, because it’s made of the same type of tile used for the other tiles you’re planning to use for a showe, (or have already used). Regular tiles have a square edge, which can look a bit ‘blocky’ and unappealing to some.
