Hi, everybody!

I am building a seat which spans the width of one wall of my shower stall. In other words, a ledge, if you will, high enough and deep enough to sit on. This means I will have an outside corner where the horizontal run and the veritcal rise of the ledge meet. Because my tile only comes in standard field and bullnose pieces...no fancy corner pieces...I intend to place a bullnose tile extending beyond the edge of the corner enough to neatly overlap the raw edge of a standard field tile on the other plane and form a nice right angle. But, my question is...does the bullnose tile go on the horizontal plane so the grout line is on the front edge of the seat, or does the bullnose go on the veritcal plane so the grout line is on top?

Or is there an altogether better way to wrap the corner of the seat?

Also, what is the recommended slope on a shower ledge for water drainage? The horizontal depth will be 12 inches.

Thanks!
Stuart
