I know this is an older video, but I just wanted to thank you for all of your content. I'm a bit novice to tile, and I'm doing a shower project for a friend, and really want it to be perfect, and with all of the knowledge that you are sharing - and I am absorbing, I really think I can deliver that. thank you soo much, keep up the great content!!!

[@wallacegrommet9343]

Great topic, and probably the most overlooked detail. It’s the crowning touch or the inexcusable flaw

[@smdmf]

imagine putting a schluter metal trim on the edge of your tile walls. you would have a wide grout joint from the metal to the wall right? maybe upto an inch? cut new pieces of your wall tile to fill that gap and make sure you line up the joints.

[@La_abbess]

Sal I love you- I’ve been searching all over for days for this very topic! Now I can return some of this marble pencil liner

[@SalDiBlasi]

Happy to help!

[@davegordon6943]

Half the time you can't find bullnose in the same color. Then if you do find it, it's not even the same length as the field tile. So tired of tile companies not making standard sizes for things. Nothing matches, there's no consistency. Even blades. Go to get another 7 inch blade, put in on and it grinds a groove in my saw because it wasn't 7 inch. It was 7 1/8 or something. And shluter strips, well you can get the profile but they don't have corner pieces. These companies just keep pumping out crap and expect the installers to work miracles. Arrrrrrrrrggggggggg! We are not all Sal Diblasi. Come on companies. I've been building houses and finishing houses for years and no trade has more inconsistencies and opposing views than tile work. Drives me nuts. If it weren't for you I'd give it up. You're the man Sal

[@Chanmantroop10]

I'm having issues with grout cracking between the tile and the trim bc the gap between the tile sand edge trim is less than 1/16". Using mapei ultracolor fa. Would using silicone caulk be better? This is on the inside vertical area of me shower curb where the gap is really thin. Other areas on the curb where it's 1/16" is fine

[@kdelvis]

Hi I’m replacing some existing ceramic trim. It’s 1 1/4” x 8” color is pomegranate I’m having a hard time finding it. Does it still exist! I’m willing to change color to generic but can’t find any quarter rounds in this size. Ty for your help

[@Bbbbbbbbbbb-f1w]

I’m a bit confused. I’m installing wall tiles half way up the wall and the customer wants metal trim on top. How do I finish the gap in back of the metal trim where it goes against the wall? Caulk? Drywall mud? Grout?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Grout usually fits the bill.

[@Dave-Dink]

Been watching your videos and appreciate your attention to detail. Will be doing Ditra over plywood floor in bathroom and have watched your video on that. Tiles 24x12 and but not sure how to set the Schulter edging for the door threshold. Is it just set in thinset like the walls or are screws also needed to hold it in place? Will be meeting existing carpet in hallway.

[@Msmmmason2]

Thank you! Good information here.

[@KCCLaura]

I'm enjoying your videos, especially all the little pearls of wisdom from all your experience. What do you suggest to use to trim out the end of a shower wall for a wavy tile (12X24 inches)? It's ceramic so the color doesn't go all the way through so bullnosing it won't work. The Schluter trim are for flat tiles so you'll see the wave against whatever color the trim is. Should that get filled in with grout or does it matter? Of course the tile company didn't make finish pieces for this tile. It's too late for me to turn back now. Thank you!

[@Z-Ack]

How do mount chair rail? Just pile on the morter and slap em on? You gotta fill the whole cavity behind the tile?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Some are solid, some are not, fill the ones that are not.

[@bryanchattelle1924]

@saldiblasi on that return wall. What options could you do it the tile only went to chair rail height?

[@robinsmith7341]

We are doing a remodel and upon demo found the alcove was dry walled to bring to 60" depth. When durarock and tile are added it will be 1/2" + further out than existing bathroom wall. What would you use to transition that edge instead of a mud cap which is what they used originally?

[@mimihealy5046]

Should tile baseboards be applied with thinset or construction adhesive in a bathroom? I've seen both done.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Tile is not wood or laminate or other resilient product, it is a ceramic product and should be installed with adhesives designed for ceramic tile products.

[@blackpillrising3164]

Here in the uk Schluter Quadec-TSG trim is over £45 per length.

If the customer wants it and will pay for it, what is the problem.

[@rickrichard7707]

How do you make the 45 degree cut for the chair rail for an inside corner?

[@sonofthunder.]

Best advice measure the thickness of your tile,for Trim height,includes thinset,also for movement joints,Thanks sal

[@learningcoach1]

how much should a customer be expected to pay for marble pencil trim pieces $15 to $30 per linear foot?

[@angelaward4689]

Does the metal trim get scratched up or dented over time?

[@SalDiBlasi]

Just like anything else, depends on how you treat it. You can scratch the metal, and you can chip tile, you can dent metal, but you can crack tile.

[@sharongraham2222]

I bought a color backed bullnose glass tile I want to use as a "frame" for my subway tile backsplash. I have a couple of questions. I want to turn the bullnose side down at the countertop, facing out (away from the subway tile) on the sides, and facing up at the base of the cabinets. I have several areas where the bullnose meets bullnose at exterior corners and am wondering how on earth I'm supposed to miter those exterior corners to make sure I don't have an unfinished tile edge. When I cut the 45 degree miters at these corners, am I supposed to cut the color backed bullnose tile joints (with a wet tile saw) with the glass side facing up or down on these cuts. Thanks!

[@MsJRow1]

Help Sal! I don't know how to select the proper schluter edge for a large format 3D tile. I have a 16x32 3D tile that the thickness varies from 5/16 to 3/8. I've watched every video I can find on notch size for thinset and installing schluter bars. I just don't know if 3/8" Jolly will work or if I have to go to a 1/2" on that 3D tile. Schluter says might be best to upsize for large format but is an 1/8 to 3/16 of an inch too much to add for the schluter? I'm afraid it could stick out to far in spots and look bad. I also have a 12 x 24 porcelain tile that is 5/16 so it seems I would be safe with a 3/8" Jolly schluter for a shower curb and wall edge. Thanks for everything you do here on your channel. You have helped me so much.

[@SalDiBlasi]

The 1/2" will probably work fine with the 32" tile, you need a pretty deep bed of mortar under the tile. I usually use 3/8" metal for 12x24 inch tiles. but the 1/2" should work fro that as well. When the tile varies in thickness along the edge, you will have to make a compromise just due to the nature of the tile.

[@MsJRow1]

Thanks so much for your speedy response! I really appreciate you! I feel more confident now and will order the 1/2" Schluter for the the 32" 3D tile. Thanks again!

[@charlesrose7212]

Thanks!

[@SalDiBlasi]

You bet!

[@domeniclarosa6156]

Hey Sal, if I go with the metal Rondac, should I choose the exact same thickness of the tile or should I go a size up from the tile. Thanks in advanced!

[@SalDiBlasi]

Depends on the size of the tile, with large format tiles it is often a good idea to go a bit bigger.

[@domeniclarosa6156]

Thanks!

[@BZ1340]

Sal I struggle with Jolly sizing for thinner tiles. Doing subway on a shower wall. What size jolly do you usually use for those 1/4 inch thick ceramic subway. Does that depend on my trowel sizing I need to use.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Usually the 1/4" will work best for 1/4" tile

[@BZ1340]

@@SalDiBlasi Thanks so much for replying Sal. Keep up the intuitive videos.

[@erbrooks]

Which would you suggest to use as an outside corner trim when your tiling over existing tile that currently has the rounded edging ?

[@kylekuntz5302]

I would like to see the details on both tiling over a tile flange on a tub or shower and the inside corners of a tub or shower. Do you keep it tight and grout or should it be caulked? Do you already have a video?

[@krizouzakaria5270]

Thank's for this vidio it's amizing

[@douganderson7251]

Sal, on a pencil trim that’s outside the wet area could it be put up with silicone instead of thin set? The pieces are only 5/16” thick. Very narrow.

[@SalDiBlasi]

No, shortcuts always end badly.

[@rosyt5968]

Do you have a video to show how to edge tile on floor?

[@rodgerq]

Your videos are great! I'm about to embark on my first DIY tiling job in years and have watched a load of your videos to try and hone the skills. One thing I'm struggling to find info on is how to terminate the tile at the top of a stair landing where the stairs themselves aren't tiled. Do you have any videos on that?

[@SalDiBlasi]

I do not, however an oak nosing or some other profile usually works.

[@rodgerq]

@@SalDiBlasi this was one option I had looked at. Basically just cut the existing bullnose off the stair and replace it with a hardwood one. Some of the schluter nosing profiles are decent but all show time on the riser and the landing so I'm unsure if that would be feasible.

[@lisajohnson2494]

Hi Sal, quick question...is it ok to use ceramic subway tile and a marble edge? Or is it pretty standard to stick with the same type of tile? I don't like the traditional ceramic bullnose much. Btw, you are amazing!

[@SalDiBlasi]

If you like how it looks, why not

[@lisajohnson2494]

Thanks, Sal. I value your opinion. I’m proud of the amazing showers you helped me to build from nothing more than subfloor and studs. I’ll send a picture of all of them when they are finished. You’re my hero. 😊

[@CerpherJoe]

Thanks Sal, good info. I can't seem to find a video on selecting tile (e.g., which tile for which place, where size matters, differences between types etc.). I have a 36x36 showere and am afraid large tiles might over-dominate the smaller environment. Also ceramic vs. porcelain vs marble, including costs various colors etc. E.g., Carrara is outside of my budget! Thanks.

[@markbuck1293]

Loved the info on tile trim products. I have a travertine stacked wall tile from the fireplace up and need a trim piece that will cover the uneven edges on the sides. Tile is 1/4” thick, I need something, preferably travertine that will go over the uneven edges & hide our not so perfect saw cuts but not stick out too far from the tile. Any recommendations? Thanks Janine

How to terminate tile on a arch shower entrance

[@ryansousa6611]

Sal, love the videos. Question: I had to furr out my studs. Finished tub surround is out farther than adjacent wall. What is the solution to hide the gap?? Tile I used is 4”x12” , and no bullnose for it.

[@SalDiBlasi]

Sorry, not sure I understand the question.

[@ryansousa6611]

Removed old tile surround. Old backer board removed. Had to put 1/4” strips on studs to get new Durock to be plum over new tub lip. Cement board is now just shy of 1/2” out further than existing wall it transitions to. How do I hide that?

[@SalDiBlasi]

@@ryansousa6611 Usually it is best to do whatever is needed to avoid that. I would imagine you can't move the tub to one side at this point so you only have to deal with one end. Planning is critical to avoid this exact situation, but since you are now stuck with it, you can look into a "Mud cap" but your tile probably will not work with that, you can add another layer of sheetrock to bring everything to the same level, or maybe some kind of metal tile trim, www.schluter.com/schluter-us/en_US/Profiles/For-Walls/c/P-FW Good luck

[@ryansousa6611]

Thanks for the advice. Love the videos!

[@smdmf]

Ryan you can use a Schluter trim and fill the gap behind it with tile strips. i have done it but by now i'm sure you already figured it out.

[@ncooty]

But pretty much none of that works if you fur out the studs so the backer goes over the tub flange, because you have to return to the plane of the original wall, not the plane of the furred-out backer. It's the same with floated tile. It seems nobody makes tiles for installing the backer properly, so people don't do it. They just put the backer on the flange or behind it, because otherwise, the tile job is impossible... or you have to rip out all of the walls, fur out all of the studs, and re-drywall/ re-trim everything. All because tile companies can't be bothered to make actual radius bull-nose. Is that about the sum of it?
