Yes. I ended up firring the wall out.
I have a tile layout question. The shower is a 2 wall 32x60" with a roughly 24" tall pony wall to accommodate a corner bench. The pony wall doesn't HAVE to be this height but the thought is that the lower the better for aesthetics. The back side of the pony wall and the back wall of the bathroom will be tiled with a 3"x12 subway pattern. This will be a wainscoting up to roughly 41 inches on the walls around the tub.
My question is how to tie these 2 different types of tile together at the intersection above the pony wall, and outside of the area of the shower enclosure. The enclosure/ will run down across the middle to outside 2/3rds of the top of the pony wall leaving maybe an inch of shower wall tile outside of the glass enclosure.
The plan is to use something like schluter rondec for the exposed edges of the shower wall tile, across the curb, etc. Also planning on using a different color rondec across the top of the wainscoting but I am not sure of that will work yet.
I can picture how this would all work if the pony wall was the same height as the wainscoting but we want to avoid that.
Another question. Is there a minimum difference in height between the corner bench and the top of the pony wall? And related to the pony wall. I am framing it with sticks. Would it be beneficial or no good to cap the pony wall with 2" kerdi versus 1/2" kerdi. My thought is that the shower door dude says that they use 1.5"screws and I think they would easily peirce the 1/2 kerdi.
I will include a hand drawn schematic of the shower and tub. Is there a better schluter edge profile to use. I put an arrow and question mark at the area on question.
As for this bathroom, I think the tile is ugly and doesn't go together. So nothing I lay out and look at looks good to me.
Let me know what you think.
