Tile baseboard on drywall.

Tiles are ideal for showers bathtubs and backsplashes. This bathroom received new drywall 1 2 over both the left and right walls. Stopped off at another job to set some baseboard tile. This project we decide to polish the tops of the cut porcelean and set it tight to the wall with no tile profile or schluter edge.

I ll then tile right off the top edge of the filler strip using the filler as my ledger board for the first course of tile. It can also be used in conjunction with wall tiles going. Spread the adhesive evenly in small in sections since the adhesive can dry before you lay any tile if your work area is too large. Drywall comes in different thicknesses including a quarter of an inch three eighths of an inch half an inch and five eighths of an inch.

Expansion joints in the floor. Then some z molding. Then the wood baseboard gets nailed off on the filler strip. Once you spread the mortar press the tiles into place.

One of these sizes may work perfectly and the drywall. Normally this area is underneath the baseboard trim. A tile baseboard can be used on its own on the wall particularly if there are wall tiles elsewhere in the room such as the shower. You can rough up.

Next take the tile adhesive thinset mortar and apply it to the drywall with a trowel. You must be able to caulk the space between the wall and the ceramic tile floor.
