The first step in to setting a curb top is to tile the first row of the shower bench.

Use a laser level to make this easier and determine the layout before setting tile in thin-set mortar.

Leave at least a 1/8" expansion and contraction joint between the tile at any change of plane, e.g. adjacent wall or shower pan.

We notched the quartz curb with Montolit's CGX115 diamond blade and angle grinder. This allowed us to slide the subway tile behind the curb top for a cleaner look.

Our biggest tip for setting both the curb and tile is to ensure at least 95% coverage of thin-set mortar. This is an industry guideline for wet areas like a shower.
