Tile transition from shower wall to ceiling.

New prime and paint. To do this measure the height of the wall and divide it by the width of the tile plus one grout joint using a measuring tape. If you end up with a small cut start with a half tile at the bottom. 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.

Like some drywall patching. The ceiling is painted dry wall and would be hard to add any thickness to it. You don t want a 1 2 inch cut running around the ceiling. This will tell you how large your cut at the ceiling should be.

Floor walls all the way to the ceiling and alcoves. Hard to make a really nice transition from the wall tile to the textured 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. 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.

With the shape that we are left with ceilings by plasterers these days i always find it a required practise to cut as accurately as possible to follow the ceiling line. 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. 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. If you want a cleaner look you most likely will need to do a few extra steps.

Taking tile all the way up to the ceiling in the master bathroom had an unanticipated puzzle. 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. 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.

It can also cover an entire room. Wherever it is though it covers the entire area.
