Cove Tiles Tub/wall


Why would you use cove tile for tile to tub transition. Cutting corners/lazy/hack? Looks to be attached with grout only. all coves are lose pulled 3/4 of them off with fingers. I will have to reapply coves because you probly geussed tile to tub joint is crap. I would think thin/set then cove. Any help? Thanks Take it easy on me since I'm a newbie

Re: Cove Tiles Tub/wall


beacuse the drywall behind the tiles tarted rotting so they atteched those to keep the water from further destroying the rest, try kerdi fix or silicone.
