I am not sure if this is one for a tillers forum or a plasterers so i'll try both
I am trying to achieve a flush tile to wall transition
The plasterers want me to place piece of MDF on top of the tiles and paint it. I think they're just trying to get the job done quick.
I think it needs some thing like this http://www.british-gypsum.com/products/glasroc-h-tilebacker?tab0=3 which is 9mm and the tile thickness is 10mm which would allow them to plaster over it. It could be glued 10mm above the tile in order for that gap to be filled with the bonding
It's a small en suite and they don't seem to want to get messy with the bonding in there but the MDF route isn't really an option
Can anyone whose ever done this please help me understand how it should work in the best possible way??
I've attached an image it done properly (where i originally saw it) and where we are so far with our project
