I have used this sight exclusively to assemble the info needed for a correct mud pan and walls....at this point I am gear up to start my tile...I have searched far and broad for info on the correct installation of quarter round. My project is a shower with a drop-in tub next to it so in that location are many within, outside corners including vertical to horizontal. Are at that place any tips or tricks to be shared? I volition be ordering my tile tomorrow, hopefully it comes with a nice assortment of trim pieces (neb, outside corners).

Thank you,

Hi Ron, Welcome aboard.

Quarter-circular is nearly the toughest trim to install, and I would advise you to attempt to design with bull nose instead. Merely, if information technology's to be QR, you must have just enough substrate hanging out to grab the express gluing surface afforded by the back of the trim, and yous need to somehow circular off the substrate in the process. So quarter-rounds are mostly used on mud jobs.

What they said..... just 1/4 round looks and so goooood.

best of luck!

i/4 round does look nifty, even better when existing walls (drywall) are bullnosed as well. Looking at the style the CBU is joined at the corners, I think my plan would be to make full the corners with thinset (on a radius) when I tape the joints. I would think that this would provide a solid bankroll for the 1/4 round trim pieces without making a huge mess with the extra butter on dorsum. Does this sound about right?

Thank you,

Ron

I mix really potent thinset. I mean just barely moist. In this potent mix I add together a fleck of water and loosen a portion upward to pretty thin ( 2 consistancies in one bucket) I burn down the 1/iv rnd and the substrate with the thin stuff then speedily add mass with the thick stuff ( thicky sandwiched between thinny) This holds like nobodysbusiness. I tin hang skirting this way without using any tape.\

Anyhoot...

I accept found over fourth dimension the easiest way to run quarter round is to let your mud
extend past your field tile by one/2". i apply a 1/2" stick placed against my tile
and have either a flat trowel or a margin trowel and shave the mud off in a
consistent line. this "definitely" works best when setting over fresh mud.
with the extended i/2" of mud you will get a solid base and this will but
require you lot to put a flat backbutter on your quarter rounds. skim the back
of the quarter circular and use the barrel of a margin trowel to tap them into the
fresh mud. typically the mud will round over and give 100% coverage and back up, without sagging or motility.

Another pull a fast one on i volition use is for setting over cured mud walls or backer board.
with a medium to stiff thinset mix fill up the gap between the tile surface and
the painted wall at approximately a 45% angle. butter your quarter circular
and position in identify while both thinset in the gap and on the tile is fresh.
hope this helps good luck.

Shaughnn --

Would y'all consider making a QR installation video?

Shaughnn, Jeff,

Cheers for the good info. Sounds like I volition be playing effectually with the dissimilar options. I will exist using spread joints. I know what you mean about the different joints. Spread joint cut 45's on the inside corners and beaks on the outside is my game plan at this indicate. Over the years I have laid alot of tile (floor, wall) however, when doing jobs that involved mud decks, pans, counter, splash and trim I e'er called my local tile professional. I liked to think that I "usually" knew the fine line between cost savings and quality.

This project to date has been quite fun. No schedule pressure and I am the customer (well actually the wife is ), so a little extra time to research the correct manner to practise things is a fun challenge.

I have certainly gained a lot more than respect for this merchandise. My next projection is a small-scale shower in which I will requite mud walls a shot. Have darby will travel.

Thanks once more for the help.

Ron

I've institute that a stiff 1/4" of substrateis exposed beyond your tile is nearly what information technology takes for tight-articulation 1/4 rounds and for spread-articulation I unremarkably shoot for one/2". I float about exclusively and and then I've come up to rely on the thickness of my darby for tight-joint and a 1/ii" float strip for spread-joint. I merely lay either confronting the edge of my freashly set tile and cut abroad the actress mud with the edge of a clean flat trowel. To set the one/four-round, I as well mix up strong sparse-set and back-butter the trim earlier setting information technology into place. I by and large like to line it up, and roll the ane/iv-circular into position, pressing whatsoever excess thin-set up out confronting the painted wall. A quick bear on with my margin trowel once I've got a strong uf these up and the extra sparse-set up is cut abroad. Dab with a sponge and pick out the joints with a long marble wedge if it needs picking. Bringing multiple 1/four-rounds together at an intersection is an adventure which I just can't seem to assemble the words for to explain. Once you understand it, it's a piece of cake. The trick is in the agreement. Shaughnn
