Tile Transition From Shower Wall To Ceiling

My contractor suggested transitioning to the ceiling by bringing the one inch squares down into the wall about 5 inches with a pencil line at the ceiling wall corner and a chair rail tile between the lowest row of one inch tiles and the 16 x 16 tiles.

Tile transition from shower wall to ceiling.

Floor walls all the way to the ceiling and alcoves. You don t want a 1 2 inch cut running around the ceiling. 1 cut last tile and make it into two tiles 2 leave the gap and grout with flex grout 3 use a bull nose tile and cut last tile shorter to accomodate the bull nose tile. If you want a cleaner look you most likely will need to do a few extra steps.

I dont leave any gap at the ceiling unless i cut them short. We re remodeling our master bathroom and want to know the different ways we can finish the exposed edges of our shower. If you end up with a small cut start with a half tile at the bottom. Taking tile all the way up to the ceiling in the master bathroom had an unanticipated puzzle.

This joint needs to be flush and smooth in order for the tile or other wall covering to be installed correctly and to create a professional finished appearance. It can also cover an entire room. This will tell you how large your cut at the ceiling should be. I would grout to the ceiling with the same colour as the rest of the walls and as silicone does not paint over i would only recommend decorators caulk.

Wherever it is though it covers the entire area. Like some drywall patching. New prime and paint. Step 1 create a straight end to the drywall by either making a straight cut with a drywall saw or installing an extra strip of drywall to close the space between the drywall and where.

Options make transition from the tile to shower wall attractive dear gail. Aesthetically for most tile shower walls end with the last complete row of tile at around 6 feet 2 inches or so or to the top or just above the glass enclosure depending on how the math works out. The ceiling is painted dry wall and would be hard to add any thickness to it. What on earth do i do with the crown molding as it transitions from the tiled shower to the wall.

The answer was simple but i ll admit i had to think on it. Floor to ceiling tiles as demonstrated by domino s coverage of the trend can be used exclusively in a shower area or even in a dog shower giving that part of a bathroom a distinct appearance from the rest of the space.
