ᐅ 1 cm gap between the wall, tile, and door frame

Created on: 27 Aug 2020 11:53

Hello,

I have a question.
In my bathroom, the tiling on both sides of the door only goes halfway up the wall, about 120cm (47 inches).
This leaves a gap of approximately 1cm (0.4 inches) between the wall, tile, and door frame above the 120cm (47 inches) mark.
What are the best or most visually appealing ways to address this gap?
I would really appreciate any help!

Please post a picture of the issue

I would like to, but I’m not at that stage yet.

However, I quickly searched online and found a picture.
It looks like tiling is done only up to the door frame.

Interior with gray wall and floor tiles; wall opening for plumbing connection, construction progress visible.

I believe there has already been a topic like this here before, with pictures.

This topic comes up often. The door frame should have been left open when tiling. Of course, you can also cut into the door frame or grout the gap.

Here is an example of an adjusted door frame. The door is positioned further into the wall than the frame manufacturer intended, and the tiler unknowingly extended the trim edge. So: the frame was trimmed and the tile was cut. It works for us.

Near the door: wooden frame meets white wall, gray baseboard, and tiled floor.

Yes, that would be my approach as well. The alternative (cutting tiles on the wall to remove the overhang) also seems impractical to me...
