Here’s another angle

Hi

The shower curb is a very specific And well thought out piece of the puzzle when you are designing a shower from scratch. What they selected would not have been my first choice, I would probably rather see a piece of a hard surface that is same as your countertops for the top It’s hard to see from
The photos how High it is. In my opinion, it’s not a design we would have specified but it’s also not horrible. It may grow on you so give it time.

Thanks for commenting on my post! The thing is there is no curb, just a step down… which is why I don’t understand that transition to the white subway tile. Here’s an example of the same shower in the model home the liked. As you can see it’s also a step down but the floor tile continues until the very edge. What do you think? Given that there is no curb, would you try to extend the black tile all the way till the end? Thanks!

On another note. This is the master bathroom shower. What would you recommend in this case? We will be installing LVP floors so I’m even more worried about the transition from the “wooden floors” to the shower tile and how to make that a smooth transition. Any ideas? In this case also there is no curb per se, just a step down.

(added a few more pics above. )

Thanks for the insights! In your case I see they extended the floor tile on the way up and then you put the split material on top. In my case it would just be solid quartz at the same level as the black hex. Don’t you think that would look odd?

If you use your bench material, it will look like a marble threshold piece that is used a lot in transitioning from a wood floor to a tile bath. That's a very much used look, not odd at all.

Here's the idea in a few bathrooms. they have step ups but give you the idea of transitions.

It needed to be one piece. I think the fact that they used individual tiles and grout makes it odd. The threshold of a room is a solid piece of wood so your brain is probably thinking “huh?” Try to get it removed and put a solid piece of marble there.

Before solid surfacing existed, all tile shower curbs were done with the shower tile so it's not really odd, just not the best solution with materials available today.

To me the best looking solution would be to not use any type of material and just continue the black hexagon tile until the edge. If there was a step up curb I think it would justify the transition to the white tile, but because there is no step up curb I think it would look best if they just continued the black tile

Hi @Eduardo, I really like the look and was hoping to do something similar with the dark hexagon tiles and white subway tiles. Do you know what grout color that is and what spacing was used between the tiles on both tiles?

Hi @Nauroze Hoath, the grout we used it’s called AccuColor Plus Grout - #949 Silverado Id: TACCPL/949. I don’t know about the spacing this is the reference S 67 Rectangular Staggered (Horizontal)

I actually really like the way it turned out.
