Tile help

my knee wall tile ends just below the top. This is based on a full tile just under the window. I have these 3/4 tiles that I could install. but it messes up the top of the kneewall which will have a granit (or equiv) slab. There will be glass block on top of the knee wall all the way to the cieling.


you can see in the window pictures that the tile will stop just above the window. 3/4 tile around the window and a slab at the bottom again. jollybead around the niches.


3rd.. I am trying to figure where I want the black line around the shower walls. I will have white tiles on floor with black design and black sanitary cove. same with the main area.

Wetwall product?

We have to tear out and re-do our large shower in our Master Bath. The 12 x 24 ceramic tiles on the wall are loose, you can actually push them in, this is not even in an area of the shower that the water hits, which is confusing....and we have found that water is leaking through the subfloor into the crawlspace from somewhere on the pan area.

Finished Master Bathroom Rebuild

I'd like to thank Isaac and his support resources for helping my wife and I on our bathroom remodeling project. We did the planning, design, and work ourselves. Tile Coaching sessions were instrumental in the success of the project throughout these phases.


The project was complex and lenghty. During the demolition, after removing the old fiberglass shower, the vinyl flooring, and 1/4" plywood underlayment, we found significant subfloor damage and mold. We removed the walls surrounding the old shower, 3/4 of the subfloor, had to do mold remediation, and structural reinforcement to the joists.


To start the rebuild, we leveled floor joists and recessed them where we installed the new custom Tile Redi curbless shower pan. Isaac was right on when it comes to the simplicity of installing and sealing Tile Redi pans. We built a new wall for the shower plumbing and a knee wall for the shower. …

Dry Mud Pack Installation Question

I'm doing a shower over a wood subfloor. Issac in videos says to put down plastic with a galvanized lath stapled over the plastic. Do you run the plastic and lath up the sides also? Thx in advance
