Window in shower area

[Xanderharris1]

Hey is there any problem of having a window (frosted). In the showering area above the bath the window will all be tiled, it isn't at the minute. its a upvc window so no wood. T View media item 84663

I plan on putting a new bath there with shower above it.

What kind of shower? The shower rose positioned where?

 

[Xanderharris1]

just a shower run of the bath taps, the shower head will be on the wall above the bath taps.

Fine go ahead and tile using appropriate adhesive and grout for wet conditions. Have a very faint slope on the cill tiles - this will prevent pooling on the cill.

Could try giving the cills a slope so that any water clears and get a squeegee to get the bulk off after each shower - good idea to squeegee anyway.

Thanks and is it ok to tile the top of the window by putting a tiling batten across. Will these tiles stay in place once removed, and not fall off in to the bath.

I'm not sure what you mean by a tiling batten across the top.

Yes, go ahead and tile the soffit of the window reveal - construct what is sometimes called a centre. Wedge the tiles up and release the centre after a few hours.

So I can tile the top of the window were there will be nothing underneath to hold the tiles in place. Do I need special adhesive for this?
