Hi,
Hopefully I can explain this properly. I am going to put up a new stud wall around 1150mm in length and I plan to install an 800mm quadrant shower cubicle on part of it. I will use cement board and then tile the shower area. The remaining part of the wall i want to paint so it will need a skim coat. For this area I guess I use normal plasterboard. My query is how do people handle this scenario as the section of wall with skim on it will be 2 or 3mm proud vs the cement boarded section before it is tiled. Do you just put a tile edge strip on close to the border and then tile as normal to achieve a nice clean vertical line between the tiles and the skinned section? Just worried that they will be at different depths. Not sure if I have explained this well enough?
Thanks,
James.
