Arch window in shower

8 years ago

Hi! I am a bit confused on how to tile an interior arch window in a shower so that it does not look messy. Whatever our installer did does not look right. Any recommendations would help greatly. Sorry the picture is not so great, but as you can see he tiled the ledge and interior arch with the subway tile we used on our walls.

Very small tiles? 1 or 2" square?

That's a tough task to follow a curve with rectangular tiles. I agree that a small square would be better.

Use a solid surface material like quartz or corian. A good fabricator can "mold" it into cut/curved pieces that get polished out into one solid curved piece.

This shows you how it can be done:
