Am i right in thinkin half the screen will be fixed to tile and half to wall? In which case you will have a gap? How do you intend to get over that and if its a shower why is it not fully tiled? | ||

yes you'r right, i didn't tile it, just doing this little job as a favour, going to build it out at top fixing.....only about 6mm, then seal it with silicon ---- its just a cheap housing association house so they'v cut cost by not having it fully tiled???? i know what your saying | ||||||||||

wont water get behind the tiles. Is it just panted then? Be better to get a border tile, or sheet of mosaics cut as a border, and continue same or new tiles above. Hence border if old tiles. All sounds a bit odd. ---- hiya, just a thought if it can be swung open on a hinge and you seal it with silicone it will eventually if not break the seal straight away. Speaking from experience when i tried to seal over a mosaic border! | ||||||||||
