Treatment for Brick Archway into Shower

10 days ago

My bathroom has an original exterior wall with arched doorway running through it. A current renovation is reorganizing the space so that the arched doorway is the entrance to the shower (which will have 4x12 tiles). There will be a swinging glass door mounted in the doorway and I'm looking for ideas for how to treat the inside edges of the arch. My plan has been to use solid white 1/2" thick stone pieces - with the threshold the full depth of the arch (covering the currently exposed brick and meeting/slightly overlapping the floor tile), and the sides going up to 2-3" shy of the arch, with a reveal on the outside edge, so the sides would not be the full depth of the arch (and all exposed brick would be painted white). My contractor suggested I make the sides the full depth of the arch though, and I can't decide. I'm also not sure if the sides should go up the full height of the sides or not. Comments and ideas appreciated - thank you!
