Hi Forum Members,
I have one more newbie question before finishing off my first ever tiling job. This time about boxing in. Our bath does not meet the wall at the non-business end (it's about 15cm between the wall and the bath). What we're thinking of doing is:
So I have a few questions
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated!
I have one more newbie question before finishing off my first ever tiling job. This time about boxing in. Our bath does not meet the wall at the non-business end (it's about 15cm between the wall and the bath). What we're thinking of doing is:
- Building a wooden frame (the first horizontal piece is in place against the wall. The rest of the build I've tried to draw on to the photograph below - no laughing at my poor perspective drawing)
- Laying Cementboard over the top, screwing in, then silicone sealing.
- Tiling over the top with cement-based adhesive, grouting, sealing the grout, silicone sealing. (We want to angle the tile slightly down towards the bath so any moisture is encouraged off the tile).
So I have a few questions
- Does that seem like the right approach in general? (Have I missed anything)?
- How do I finish off the tiles that will be overlapping the bath slightly? Edging strip? Do I need anything in between to protect the bath?
Any advice or guidance would be appreciated!
