Xedos - these details are really key for anyone not wanting the tile edging to be the showcase in the shower or bathroom renovation. I think tile men have grown used to them as a crutch and now that people are learning that with more planning and better design they can be eliminated. When tile profile edging needs to be used I much prefer to look and feel of Butech's Pro Parts. Chrome plated brass! I'm using some now to frame a frameless Kerdi Line Drain installation. Part of a steam shower build here in West Vancouver. In the picture below you can see the two strips installed on top of the Kerdi Line grate. The kerdi was removed from the top with ease and the double sided glue tape cleaned off. Then the green material was installed - that is Laticrete's Hydro Ban Sheet membrane. Look at the shine on the sides! Butech Pro Part

Budge, THANK YOU. I think the window looks great with the tile and I'm going to have my contractor do the same thing. Did you use 6" bullnose on the inside of the window? I only ordered 3" but I think the 6" looks great. I wonder if I could use non-bullnosed tile on the inside of the window (run the same direction as yours) and put 3" bullnose on the outside, so that the grout line would be inside the window rather than outside...hm. I'd still need 6" bullnose for the top and bottom, but not as much. As for the bump in the wall, I went home and measured tonight and the brick does extend a good 4-5". SO, I'm stuck with the double bump. I think I am just going to tile over (to the ceiling!!!), inside and around the window and then start painting when I hit the bump. Thank you everyone for all of your help and great ideas - you all are the BEST!!!!

Screw the meeting. If he's not interested in waiting, tell him that's okay-- you'll find someone else when the time comes. I'm telling you right now-- this never works out right. The tile's always either too high or too low. Either he waits, or get someone else.

Selm - please start your own thread when asking for help. This is an old thread - over 2 years old and it's likely many will not look at it; I only looked at it b/c I saw the old origination date and figured it was either: A pro attempting to solicit business by supposedly helping the original poster (we've had a lot of that kind of "spam" since the Houzz takeover) -or- Someone new who didn't know they should be starting their own threads and not hijacking someone else's thread. I don't know for certain which camp you fall into, but if you truly are asking for help, your own thread will be better. I think many people ignore the older threads b/c of the prevalence of the first.
