Tiling a Walk-In Shower: Chapter 6 – Wall Tile Installation

4 MIN READ

Continuing up the Wall

After completing the first four courses, the crew member spreads thinset for the next set of courses.

In similar fashion, he builds the courses, staggering the seams between courses.

After completing six or seven courses, the crew member checks to make sure the courses are level and straight. Any adjustments have to be made before the thinset cures completely.

He continues the installation up the wall, filling in over to the adjacent wall.

He lets the courses wrap over the top of the shower seat, using tapered supports to hold the tile on top of the shower seat.
