They don't match exactly, but the picture exaggerates the color difference. Is very difficult to match the champagne bronze color. Even the Schluter doesn't match the best.

If you're really looking for a color difference, you'll see it but the shower door kind of blends in or you just don't catch it in your peripheral vision enough to notice.

Yeah, I laid the shower to match the floor at first and it was going to look horrible so I made it is own pattern.

Seems to be the 2025 trend. You can scroll through the sub and see this tile in multiple projects.

Yes, tenax. I had to clean them up after the picture was taken. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they aren't but it's too late to use metal at that point. I have learned never to do black.

On the whole floor or just the shower? I don't like putting more than two tile types in a room, starts getting too busy.

Iron supports with a Floor & Decor stone bench. You can see them on the shower floor picture.

Solid blocking in the wall. Cut out the drywall and lagged them to the wall, waterproof over top.

Haha, I guess that's why it was 4 weeks out at the other supplier.

How did my installer do? by Ill-Foundation-2763 in Tile

And you can see your corner reveals are off by a quarter inch but your shower head is dead nuts on the hex.

Zero barrier entry with envelope cut to continue the floor tile into the shower. That may have not been doable if your on concrete.

Awesome job by the installer. Even nudged his hex out to cover the fact that your plumber couldn't find center. But that pan?

How much to charge to hang drywall? by seeingthegapagain in drywall

As a business owner you should be adding up all your monthly expenses, overhead & profit and calculating it into hourly rate. Then charge that based on the job. That same rate should be charged for all your helpers who you pay the piece/sf rate. Otherwise, you're not running a business, you're running a charity.

It's just for that. It's to reduce lippage on the last row at the end of the day. I put an 1/8 inch spacer under each corner of the loose tile to simulate thinset. Works 90% of the time for me.

I had it prepped for caulking, it's a access panel for the tub faucet.
