Gap Between Wall Tile And Ceiling

Although the covering on most ceilings is drywall that isn t the only material that builders use.

Gap between wall tile and ceiling.

The tile is level the ceiling is not. Covering this gap isn t a difficult process. When i put the inside the shower last tile on there was only 1 16 to 1 8th inch gap. In all cases covering the seams between.

Photos attached hopefully i think they re upside down but what you re looking at is the corner where the tiling is on one wall and that wall meets a plastered wall and a plastered ceiling. Caulking is the best choice for this application. Alan the floor of your shower looks great but it agree that there seems to be too much of a gap between the wall tiles. All it takes is a quick patching job with fiberglass mesh tape.

The only place that the gap gets any larger is on the one outside wall. Instead fill it with an elastic material capable of sustaining the movement of the floor and the movement of the wall.

There is a slight gap between the tiles on the wall and the ceiling. The previous owner had recently re tiled the shower from the tub to the previous ceiling. So now there is a varying gap 0 to 1 4 between the top of the tiled wall and the ceiling. We had to replace the drywall ceiling above the shower which was buckling and wavey.

You can then proceed with normal joint taping techniques using drywall joint compound which drywall professionals refer to as mud.
