How to Cut Ceramic Tile
When tiling a wall AND the floor, how close to the floor should I get the wall tile?
Should the wall tile touch the floor? OR
Should I leave enough space for the floor tile to go under the wall tile? OR
Should they meet at each edge of the tiles?
I dont’ know the best way to do this? I’m tiling up the wall about 3.5 ft and laying a new tile floor.
Generally the floor tile goes under the wall tile. I would put the floor tile down first, then start the first course of wall tile with a special tile with a curve on the bottom, sort of a reverse bullnose, used for just this situation.
However you choose to do it, even just butting the wall tile to the floor, the gap will be less noticeable if the floor tile goes under the wall tile. You might consider caulking this gap instead of grouting it to prevent cracking as the floor flexes as well.
Good luck.
