Schluter shelf installation

3 years ago

last modified: 3 years ago

My tile installer installed three Schluter shelves in the shower. Should the silicone be visible on the tile and the shelf? Can this be cleaned up? What do you think about the appearance? I thought based on pictures from the Schluter site that they would appear more seamless and less like an afterthought.

Can't tell from the picture posted. They are mounted in the tile joint typically so is that where are all three are installed? Personally from my perspective they look kind of cheap.

Yes they are in the tile joint, and then it appears silicone was used. Appears sloppy to me but I have no experience with them. I thought it would be a cleaner look.

Scrape the excess silicone off with a credit card or similar please. Your guy was just a crappy caulker.
