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.

Generally speaking, bullnose tiles are available in rectangular and square, as well as corner ...
- Assuming Grout, Tile, and Sealers Alone Make a Waterproof Shower. Tile and sealed grout is water resistant, but without the proper preparation and installation, water will find its way around them in no time.
- Forgetting to Calculate the Proper Amount of Slope for the Drain. Without the right slope on the floor of your shower, the water will not drain properly.
- Forgetting to do a Flood Test before installing tile. Once you have finished preparing the shower space and before you start installing tile, test out the water tightness.
- Breaching the Waterproof Membrane. Once you’ve created a waterproof zone, be careful to protect it from any breach while you are tiling a shower.
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.

Dec 29, 2015 · Sheetrock/Greenboard. Sheetrock in a wet area is a major no-no. It’s perfectly fine to tile over drywall in dry areas like kitchen backsplashes and wainscot walls. But drywall in a shower is not good. This also goes for moisture-resistant drywall also known as green board. It’s my understanding that green board isn’t approved for ...
