Large gap between wall and floor tiles

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Hello, my contractor's tile guy did the wall today and I noticed a large (2cm) gap between the floor and wall tile. The reason for the gap is that the floor is sloped to accommodate a linear drain, hidden under that OSB. I wouldn't have sloped it like that myself but I've never done tile. Anyway, the problem is the gap. These are 24x48 tiles, they cut the top piece by 3cm and set the bottom ones intact. If I had realized earlier then I would have had them cut the bottom ones to match the slope and then the top pieces to the ceiling. Does that sound right? Now they will probably want to add a sliver there which I think will look terrible. What can be done? Thanks!

What exactly are we looking at? Drain and OSB should not be used in the same breath. What room is this? Which gap? Post pics, not links.

@millworkman sorry, added the pic. the OSB is just to walk on. this is a bathroom. I'm talking about the gap between the floor tile (grey mosaic) and wall tile (white with slats).

Where is the wet/shower part of the bathroom?

There shouldn't be any exposed OSB near any type of drain, but we don't know what is inside or outside of the wet area.

I see wood behind that wall tile, so this is looking like a complete do over.

Following, due to curiousity about what we are looking at and the confusing description.

What's the point of the osb? to walk on...? What's that wall material? Is this a shower, or what?
