Hi all,

This forum has been a wealth of knowledge for me while i tackled our new build.

A quick question please regarding wetroom wall tiles and a glass partition.

Where the wall tile meets the glass partition (tile will finish here and not go beyond the glass), do i finish the edge of the tile with a tile trim or not ?

I plan to have the glass (glass support rail to be exact) fixed to the wall and butting up to the edge of the tile.

Glass is AYO 8mm 1600mm (length)
Will be fitted after the tile (in case anyone is wondering)

Thank you

I’d say it is personal choice.
If the tile edges are visible then a tile trim would be the neat solution, however with your design, the glass support channel will act to hide the tile edge so trim is kind of superfluous.

One second thought though…
Presumably the tile edge will extend beyond the glass support channel and will therefore be visible above the glass screen? You could finish the edge with a skim of grout or tile trim? Personal choice again, I guess 🤣

Thanks for your reply.

Am i missing anything as regards having a watertight seal ?

Guidlines are to only silicone on the outer side of the shower panel.

I see that most panels have tile protruding past the panel for at least a couple inches.

Am i letting water soak around it into the skimmed wall ?

Normal practice is to mount the glass channel onto the tiles, which is why you would see tiles protruding past the screen.
Your design should be okay but you will have to seal to the inside edge of the screen.

Great, thank you for your input.

Going to make a start now tonight.
