Full commitment tile bathrooms

16 days ago

The tile is Dutch. I can't speculate how precisely these bathrooms would need from design through every single step before a single tile is set

    Wow I love that precision! The coved tile (I think that's the right term), especially the corner pieces show such craftsmanship. No corner grout, just a smooth curved piece of tile. I love it.

    So satisfying.

    I love to see that level of precision. I can't even imagine how difficult it must be as most walls and floors aren't level or plumb.

    Yep. The amount of time our tile guy and we spent figuring it out for our shower and walls was crazy. The shower tile also wraps the walls to chair rail height. Making that work also with the window sill and vanity heights made my brain hurt. Once we figured it out, we had to have the electrician come back and raise the outlets because clearly we did that in the wrong order! And it's not anywhere as intricate as your examples.

    I did coved corners in all my bathrooms, (floors and walls ) and mostly whole tiles, but again nothing quite like this. And we did have to reframe one area because the tile was not going to wrap a wall properly. (And 2 of the baths were all 2" tile, easier to lay out )

    That takes an enormous amount of skill!

    Gorgeous. I love those little towel holder tiles!

    The blue tile blows my mind. Especially the one piece that goes from the wall to the sink edge.

    Color me a skeptic - reformed. I wasn't sure this could be real so went looking. Holy smokes.

    Beautiful, but it's still a cr@p ton of grout to clean.

    Those are so cool. How about that magnet tile in DLM’s link!

    I’ve lived with built-in tile pieces for soap, toothbrushes, towel bar holders, toilet paper, though the springy roll holder itself was separate. And I’ve had coved tile that just makes so much sense. I’m curious about the curved tile in corners, how well does it hold up to settling/earth movement? Probably no worse than coved floor tile.

    @bpath I I can almost guarantee those bathrooms ore done over a portland cement base, not Kerdi, Shluter some other such 'system'. Portland is probably part of the way they can get the exact tile layouts because it can be built up where needed to compensate for out of square or tile dimensions so it all lines up. Not that portland cement is immune to settling - it can crack, too. But it is a very strong substrate. Our bathrooms in this house and the two previous are all on portland bases and only one had any settling issues (minor) in our time living there.

    I have most of these tile shapes, except the outside corner in my bathrooms, but in the 2" Daltile porcelain. all corners are coved vertical and horizontal. It took a lot of planning even on a two-inch grid.

    One bathroom is on a 4.25 inch grid and it has vertical and horizontal coves in the 4.25 but there are no inside corner tiles in Daltile 4x4 so the floor is in the 2". The D-tile was out of my budget for materials and labor and since I have a cast iron tub and sink, the idea of the big tile in all the pieces would have been lost somewhat.

    But if I won the lottery I would be fully on board for planning one of these.
