What kind of trim are you using to cover the cut edges of the tile?

hadn't planned on using any trim - just the edge of the tile - is this a bad idea?

Is the tile the same colour all the way through? It will look pretty bad if the edges are a different colour than the surface of the tile.

yes - it's 12X12 travertine

would we need to polish (grind) the edges, or would a clean cut suffice?

See what happens when I don't read the entire thread?

So yes, what ever you have to do to the edges to make it look like the rest will look just fine. I'd go with the biggest pieces on the top.

thanks - I may have to practice on a couple of pieces, but I think it would letter better as well.

hrm,

I'm not sure how to load the photos so they show up in my post - and I only seem to be able to send a link to my facebook album - but in any case, there are photos, for anyone interested.

Wow, that looks really good. Nice job

wow - not sure what you did to get the photos here, but thanks!

As you can see, the mortar mix for the drain was a little too sloppy - but after soaking up the excess water with a few paper towels, it dried hard and solid.


and as I said before, the kerdi application is not a pretty one - but at least it did the job and no one but everyone who sees these photos, will ever know what lies beneath the tile!
