Hello everyone,

The bathroom tiles have been installed here for a few days now. I took a closer look at everything today. The tile trims around the corners and the joints between two trims caught my attention.

The corners don’t look quite right to me. Surely there are corner pieces that could have been used here. Also, the joint between the two trims is on a long wall section, about three meters (10 feet). Are the trim lengths limited?

Is this common practice, or was the work not done properly?

Regards,
Alex

I don’t think this is a defect, but I could be wrong (rumor has it that it always depends on what was agreed upon).
Apart from the last picture, I don’t find it that serious either – with the last one, I’m not entirely sure if it’s already finished (?) or what it actually is.

Nothing was agreed upon in that regard. We were only asked whether we wanted metal or plastic rails.

No, it’s not quite finished yet. These are two projecting walls that meet each other. The left one is less deep. Two washbasins are installed there. The right one is deeper. Pipes and conduits run behind it. The shower is located in front of it. A glass panel will be installed into the yellow rail. Unfortunately, I don’t have a photo of the entire wall.

As far as I know, there is no alternative. The rails are 2m (6.5 feet) long.

We also have butt joints on the long sides.

At the corners, we have these "corner cubes" installed. I only have a poor-quality photo of such a cube from my phone:

We do not have any corner-running rails. Our corners fit together seamlessly. Additionally, the corners have been rounded off. Even with lengths over two meters (6.6 feet), there are no joints. It is always a single, continuous rail.
