Install Accent Hexagon Tile
At 5:25 in
The Most DIFFICULT Bathroom Build I've Ever Done
What happens here
Apply thin-set mortar to the back of the hexagon mosaic sheets using a notched trowel. Carefully position the mosaic sheets on the sloped shower wall, ensuring proper alignment with the main tiles and consistent spacing. Press firmly to embed the tiles into the thin-set. Work meticulously to maintain the design pattern and continuity, especially when dealing with cuts for the sloped areas. This accent strip helps to visually mitigate the 'weird angle' of the sloped ceiling, as noted by the presenter. The presenter also mentioned a small misalignment with the upper showerhead due to a structural beam, which this design element helps to distract from.
Goal: Add a decorative strip of hexagon mosaic tiles to the sloped shower wall to visually break up the angles and enhance aesthetics.
