Sealing shower frame to brick tiles?

Chas72 · 12 Feb 2011

Hi

I'm researching some tiles for a shower and was after some advice on using brick tiles, like below, with a shower frame.

Would you avoid the beveled styled brick tiles and use flat faced or do the beveled style just take a bit more work with the sealant?

Thanks

i have done a few shower screens on these iles, i know what you mean about the bevels, but if you take care when siliconing then it dont look too bad, i generally run a bead down the middle of the wall plate before fixing to the wall to make sure water wont get through.push onto wall and then pull it back slightly to see if the sealant has contacted all the way down the wall then fix in place.
