Arch with one side Tile, one side Sheetrock? - TilersForums.com

[Merc]

Hello,
I am looking for some suggestions on how to do an arch in shower. Side facing out is to be sheetrock, side facing in is to be tile. Bottom of arch to be tile also. How in the world am I going to finish off where tile meets sheetrock in an arch???? This would be the side facing outward and most noticeable in arch.

Help!

i think it's plasterboard Steve, (the power of Google)

ok presuming sheetrock is plasterboard? is it being skimmed and painted? if so could the plasterer drop the bead down to cover the finished edge of your tiles(so as its flush with the face of your tiles) and then skim to that maybe??

 

[doug boardley]

only way I could think (apart from leaving tile edges showing) is to use an "L" shaped trim that would curl the right way round the arch.

Is there a flexible piece of trim or bead that can be formed to edge of an arch? I just dont know.

yes it will be skimmed and painted. I am just worried about how the edge will appear....seems like it would have to be perfect or your eye will draw right to it.

I gather you are over the pond, with terminology.. So welcome to tilers forums..

Are you going to water proof this sheetrock area as well..?

Do you intend to tile the inner arch..?
