The steel studs are perfectly straight.

How to hide a huge gap between tile and wall.

This will give you say a perfect 3 8 caulk line with an irregular wall to counter gap. The other advantage to using steel studs in these areas is they don t warp or shrink. Fill gaps larger than 1 8 inch. Tool the caulk by drawing your finger along it to form a concave surface.

Great remodelers and builders consider using galvanized steel studs in locations where there will be tile. If you have tile on the wall adjoining the tub select a caulk that matches the color of the grout. If installed plumb and square the finished tile work looks amazing. Lay painter s tape along the edge of the countertop and the wall just above the gap to keep caulk off these surfaces.

If your gap is smaller than 1 8 inch in width use regular caulk. The line will continue maintaining caulk gap regardless of the gap of the wall to counter. The only thing to cover the gap would be to use 1 4 round molding. With the uneven look you may need to shape the molding to fit.

I foresee water getting in the gap and seams when cleaning the floor.
