    Default tiling wall corners need advice

    I have two corner problems
    1. a 2x6 wall separating the shower from the tub should I wrap the tile around the wall corners, or tile up to the edge.

    2. the wall next the the back of the tub has a corner and do not want to tile beyond the corner. Is there an edge finish or strap that can be place there to finish the corner. The tiles I chose doe not have an alternate tile with a round edge finish.

    Thanks for any advice,
    John

    1) Me, id tile up the edge with grout lines following from the bath area round to the shower. Nice bit of chrome corner trim if the shower surround is chrome.

    2) Get yourself down to your local tile shop, if you dont see what you like, Schluter online have just about everything catered for.

    outside corners I would use rondec top and edges use tile edge schulter products are a wonderful thing where the tile edge meets the rondec 22 your corners insted of 45 looks much more pro.

    Hi John, We've used a lot of Rondec and it always looks really nice once it's grouted in place.
