Transition From Tile To Drywall Corner

Skim with mud to smooth it and seal with paint.

Transition from tile to drywall corner.

Because the tile work needs to meet the drywall bead perfectly the drywall bead needs to be installed perfectly. On one side i have hardiebacker that sits about 1 8 deeper than the surface of the drywall at the transition. I m finishing off a bathroom where the tile will meet drywall on an outside corner. As it turns the corner and leaves the alcove the wall is tiled up to 4 ft approximately.

This detail provides a flush transition from the wall tile to the drywall and a capillary break from the shower to the drywall. Step 1 create a straight end to the drywall by either making a straight cut with a drywall saw or installing an extra strip of drywall to close the space between the drywall and where the backer board will end. Then red guard it. I have a bath situated in an alcove.

I ve left the drywall unfinished on that edge assuming the tile guy would tile to the corner and finish with caulk. The walls of the bath alcove are tiled 7 feet up. It also looks bad ass and so sleek. How do i finish this tile to drywall transition corner.

The easiest way to transition from tile to drywall will be using what s called a schluter profile it is a material often used by professional builders and usually adds a metal accent to your finish. I m trying to figure out how to complete the corner where the finish transitions from tile to drywall. The drywall cut is fairly good so i m considering just putting a bull nose pieces down the line and later filling the gap with drywall mud as i go over it after the tile is in place. I would use a nail on cornerbead thinset one side mud the other.
