Well disaster struck and I used a grinder wheel to cut down my curb and it did a terrible job. It had a slight wobble and I ended up needed to clean up the cuts which took off more than I wanted. I ended up cutting it a 1/4” short on both ends, while I was aiming for just under a 1/8” gap. I’ll be siliconing this in which can cover the gap and have enough elasticity to move with it, but worried that long term it will be problematic.

This curb will have a sliding glass door so the outer half of the curb won’t see much moisture.

This is a basement shower that will rarely be used. Maybe a few times a month.

A curb is $80 at Home Depot.

Any feedback on best next step? Send it or start with a new slab and template& recut on the tile saw this go around? If I recut, is 1/16” gap ideal?

What color should I grout the niche?

Navy blue to match the grout/tile of the subway tile or ice white to match the floor tiles?

Update: I used the navy grout on the wall. No way I’m going near those white tiles with that they will never clean off. White it is!

How can I cut this down to a 2” strip cleanly and trim back the installed planks to make a cleanly cut, tightly fitting threshold. Right now the tiles would show 1.5” into the outer room, I needed longer planks but cut them short before the door was there. Any ideas? Product is HD Rigid Core Walton Oak 22mil

Glued up the flange before tile and cut it flush with the floor. After install noticed it was sitting up higher than expected. With tile and thinset (cardboard spacer) I’ll be about 1/4” off the floor. Any ideas on how to fix?

Why can’t it line up nicely! Push it one way the other goes all wonky. How the hell am I going to lay this!

Trying to trace my template and precut, but I can’t even get it set out cleanly. I’m done for the night! You pros are amazing, how this gets done perfect is beyond me.
