IMO the right schluter is a tiny little line of metal that is all that shows . Shower curbs are best one pice for sure . How wide is the curb ? Can you not use a 48" long piece of tile for the curb. I sure hope who ever did the tiling knew what they were doing since that size tile needs real expert to install properly.. Tile is not waterproofing the curb meeds to be water proof just like the rest of the shower and I am hoping that was done right . Contractors rarely undertsand proper waterproofing and his comment says maybe the wrong person to ask.

The curb is going to be 6”. None of this has been built yet. I asked him what waterproofing system we will be using and he reaponded with asking if i was refering to liquid waterproofing. Yes i can use the 48 for the curb along with matching bullnose instead of any solid surface material. The curb is 59” however so i would have one grout line on the surface pluse the bullnose on the sides. is there a kind if schluter you can suggest? i have samples but they are all wide or the weong color. Maybe im missing something.

I would use the same quartz as your counters; it's the best option.

I spoke to my contractor and thats what i will do.

That is a great idea for sure but I thought you were not getting pieces that matched the counter or the tile. IMO the best waterproofing in the schluter system but it needs to be done right.

I couldn’t at first because the counter people told me i didnt have enough. i called my contractor and he said they were being finacky about remeasuring. i will do my counter splashes from tile and use that material saved for the curbs and shower niches. he said he will do something to the walls behind the vanity to protect them for the long run from any moisture. im not having a schluter system done he says he doesn’t do those. said he has no issues with showers leaking and if by chance it did they would fix it. He is top rated in my area and i get a good straight forward feel from him so im going to roll with it.

Find out what SYSTEM he is using to waterproof. There are tons of ways to do it, but you want it all from one company or TCNA approved process. So many tiled shower failures on here and IRL

ok so i will ask and also google what a tcna approved process is. its hard to know if what im being told is fine because i dont know what i dont know.

Tile on the flat is not a good curb. One piece please.

Yes after going back over things with my contractor i will be using the same countertop quartz for the curb. I will need to switch some vanity backsplashes to tile so i have enough material from my slab but i prefer that look anyway.

Absolutely have him explain and also have it in the contract how he intends to waterproof unless you want to be back here a year or two from now wondering why you're having moisture issues.
