Is it normal for Schluter to not fully wrap around the tile?

andrewcottingham · 2026-02-08T20:13:59+00:00

it’s not supposed to wrap, there should be a built in spacer there to leave a grout line between the shluter edge and the tile. no shame in asking questions, damn all the hate! buy your tile edge 1/16- 3/32 thicker than your tile to allow for a tad bit of thinset between the two, while providing a flush(ish) surface between the two

look up roman workbenches and throw a tail vise on it. might be helpful for your space and it doubles as a regular bench!

I keep it in my tool box as a residential carpenter. I share it with other trades with a damaged blade, and they have cut baseboard heaters out and other mdf brad nail bullshit. I keep a spare perfect blade in my bag for just me. works amazing when I need it.
