6/2/2023 0 Comments Tiled window sill![]() Sorry, meant to say I am on the Gold Coast. The tiles are very highly glazed a a bit rough in texture. I think they measure approx 220x 100 which is about 9"x4" in old measurements. I had to break several tiles to have some plumbing problems sorted which is a pity as they are of course not available anymore to buy!ĭoes anyone out there know of where I could get any replacements? I only need about a dozen or so. ![]() The house has large sliding windows/doors and the sill tiles are set on an angle at the bottom of the windows. I am renovating a 70's house that has those hard brown tiles that were once known as Quarry tiles (amongst others) on the verandah and around the window steps when 'Mission Brown' was all the rage. seems like if I fell into the shower wall, it would come apart.1. for the price I paid for this job, almost seems worthless. someone tell me if the acrylic wall and setup is just this flimsy or was it a piss poor install on the contractor part. I had a company do the install and it almost seems like such a piss poor job. also noticed in both showers, a loud creaking in the master bath and a loud popping in the spare bath. took a first shower in it and on the window ledge, I set my shampoo bottle on it and the flex caused the acrylic to detach from the sealant that is on the edge. right where it attaches to the shower pan, in several spots, its almost like there is a dead air space behind the wall. in other places, when I push it, it has alof of flex. Smooth out your grout lines and seal everything to the best of your ability. Is this normal? in some place, if I push the wall, it is hard. With the pitched sill installed and dried, you can officially tile over top of it. Now first thing I noticed is how flimsy the acrylic wall is. In the master bathroom, removed the same but had a acrylic base with center drain installed along with the acrylic walls and frameless doors. In the spare bathroom, removed the tile wall and tub and had a new acrylic tub and acrylic shower wall with frameless doors installed. Just had both my master bathroom and spare bathroom remodeled. ![]() Then after the cement board is up, paint it all with 2 coats of redguard. When you install your cement board, you will want to trim the window edge with cement board and fiber tape the perimeter (the entire corner) around the window. Then insulate under the sill and around the old jamb perimeter with window and door foam. You can then use long screws to fasten it down through the shims and into the RO. Then cut a couple angled 2x wedges and drive them under the sill to push it up tight to the top of the dado. Once it fits, slide it in, goop it up with construction adhesive so that air doesnt come around the dado. So you would cut a notch 4 x 4 7/8 out of one side. (Usually around 4 7/8") then measure the distance from the notch to the outer edge of the trim. measure the distance from the inside edge of the jamb to the outside of the blind stop. Had some replacement windows fitted and some of these have broke at the top closest to the window. Then determine how much you need to notch out so that it fits between the jambs.īest way is to put a square in the dado. On my property i have those old red tiles used as an external window sill. The length of the sill is determined on the outside by the outer edges of your trim. Rip it to the correct width (usually around 7") Get a nice clear 2x10, cut 12.5 degree bevels on each side (table saw) so that it is shaped like a parallelogram. This is usually done on a thickness planer. You need to measure the dado in the jamb and make your new sill the same thickness.
