Hi all,
just after a quick bit of advice.
I am planning to install a shower tray onto a tiled plinth in similar way to the image attached.
i haven't bought the tiles yet but i am about to build the plinth.
Question:Should i avoid strips of tile less than a certain width on the top edge?
I don't know if i will mitre the edges or use trim so i will take that into account.

Ant learned advice appreciated.

Regards
Neil davenport

I would say copy what you have posted if that what you really want bear in mind that you will have no access to the drainage once completed ?? a 25mm cut strip for the top edge , mitering hmmm bit of a risk on the old tootsies if you should slip mitred edges are quite Sharpe , trim it and water may find a way of getting behind the tile a few things to think about . Cheers kop

You could look around for a tile with a rounded edge if the plinth is going to be larger than the tray.
They do still exist.

You could set the tiles plinth back flush with the tray.

Thank you for the helpful responses. Given me things to think about.
The reason for making plinth slightly larger than tray is it's in a shower/utility room and may be vulnerable to knocks/careless impacts and i'd rather have a damaged tile than a damaged tray if that makes any sense.
Anyway thank you again for the responses.

Cheers

Neil
