Transition between tiles and shower panels


Recommended Posts

We are planning to use 'wetwall' type shower panels in both shower enclosures.  We would also like to tile both our bathrooms to dado height, which means tile will meet shower panel.  Just wondering if anyone has some inventive or out the box ideas of how we could manage that transition, as neither of us are very keen on the visual appearance of plastic or aluminium panel end trims.  

 

One of the shower panel systems we are looking at, http://www.bushboard.co.uk/products does an attractive postformed rounded end, which is fine, but still leaves the problem of how to transition to tile, albeit we might get away with simply grouting / white sealant the gap between tile and postformed end.

 

The only thing I can come up with is to use an oak trim on the end of the shower panel, something like a flooring T bar.

If im only tiling the shower area I will set the tiles to finish dead on the outside edge of the shower enclosure profile. Then I'll either put a quadrant or a square trim and the plaster / paint gets cut into that. The trim is on display, but the polished chrome ones look part of the shower cubicle, until you get to the point where the cubicle runs out and you have a deficit to the ceiling ( if going full height ). 

Quite hard to comment further without some pics of / links to your chosen setup ;). Feel free to post the info if easier ( if your still at the 'hypothetical' stage ) :)
