Loads of different sizes and styles of wall profiles.
Channels are mainly for the glass to sit in. Wall profiles is what they glass panels sit in.
How did you not get it off hey. I got two off on Tuesday that some £&@?#% tec 7 to the wall.

Unscrewed and cut the silicone but was blobbed on as well - not unusual.
What was unusual was that the bond between channel and tile was far greater than tile to wall. managed to get behind it with thin blade and the 3 top tiles it was stuck onto popped off the wall and bent it in half.

Hope the rest of the tiles come off that easy for you lol. I've took off three in the last two weeks. One to be binned and two to be reused.
Finding a lot of plumbers putting one screw and glue in each profile as they can't be arsed drilling tiles especially porcelain.
My health has gone to rubbish so I'm now a fixer upper lol. It's enjoyable enough and still pays well so won't complain as I'm not busting my ..... now.

With porcelain I hss drill new holes in the channels to match my grout joints. Saves a fair bit of time and effort.

Now Mac I've worked with a few plumbers and one thing they ain't clued up on is drill bits.
Bought the mate a set of 365 core bits just to make his life a bit easier lol
Or to stop him breaking my f'ing tiles putting sink and loos back in.

This bathroom’s gonna need about 30 drill holes at final fix!
