So... I did try this. But I screwed it up. I found the trim line kept moving. I've also seen so many videos saying "go like the wind!" and I panicked I think. After my first mess up I've learnt a lot. Next time as a total novice I play to screw a vertical batten and push the trim to that so there is no way it can be pushed over the line I drew. I don't know if this is considered normal, but gives me that security the trim won't budge. Unless there is a reason I shouldn't do this?... I also noticed as I went up the trim, the tiles towards the ceiling would sit flush with the trim depth, and the lower wasn't due to the wall not being straight. So I presume I should add enough adhesive to have each tile to be the same depth as the trim? God loves a trier though, right? :D

@@muffinbubbleThanks for this. I’m about to do two showers this week and will be very careful about the level of the walls because they rarely are! I’m thinking I’ll install the trim first and let it set, then tile to the trim.

Very nice, a small piece of quarter round wood painted or stained also works well if you find that the tile you already installed doesn't have an edge and has dried.

helped me much more than the Schulter videos on their Jolly trim. I was trying to decide to mount first or during tile install. think I will lay out metal first now and cut tiles to fit in my retrofit install... Hi from California!

Great idea to set the horizontal trim and then slide it into place and on the vertical to plum it straight and then tile toward the cut end.. can't wait to apply these tips on my next diy. Thanks!!

@tydish 5 ай бұрын

This trim works fine on a horizontal subway tile install. Im doing a herringbone pattern currently and am thinking once i get to the top its going to be a challenge making sure all my cuts line up perfectly since the trim piece has maybe a millimeter lip to help hide imperfections. Might have to silicone inbetween this transition or another solution if this trim doesnt look tidy.

The trim should be level of tile or slightly above the height of the tile?

Thought you should leave a gap between tile and trim for grout?

@steves1460 Ай бұрын

I was wondering about that too

@usmc2msu213 29 күн бұрын

You don’t have to. The gap is too small to grout usually. And it looks better without it.

If the gap is small enough you don't need it

I’ve done it both ways and have defaulted to leaving a small grout line because the chances of having even a slight difference in one or more tiles is likely. A 1/32” difference is impossible to see in a grout line, but can be seen if tiles aren’t absolutely perfect when no grout line. Schulter trims have a bump out to maintain a consistent grout line, which I prefer. Just one less thing to think about.

What about if you have a corner to tile round and you want to have a trim between the 2. An outside 90° corner. What side would you put the trim on first?

afaik there's special corner trim pieces as well.

I make level and plum lines and then blue tape My trim up and then start tiling.

@icawn 7 ай бұрын

are you simply relying on the overlapping tile to hold the trim in place with it's adjacent adhesion, since the edge of the tile nor trim have wall adhesion behind it? Good 'nuff?

@BonBon770 7 ай бұрын

@@icawnAs you tile and go up, the wall thin set gets added. And there is no chemical adheration with metal or plastic trim, it's a mechanical bond, so the thin set goes through those holes in the trim and behind it a little period so it's bonded plenty good enough. and then you can use a wedge to wedge it in or out, depending on how bad the wall is. As you go up, that works perfectly.

I read tile adhesive is a big no-no in showers. It can’t withstand moisture. Use mortar. That’s what I’ve read anyway.

It looks like cement board backing, but no waterproof coating on it. In North America cement board absorbs water. Possibly UK boards are waterproof?

Tip is to NOT push trim against tiles! Youll end up with part grouted and part not!
