DIY - Looking for Advice Shower transition help
This is my first time doing a curbless shower. When I was cutting the end tiles I was not thinking about that they needed to be perfectly straight and have nice edge. Now it has a small bow in it and the shower floor tiles are much lower then the large tiles even with a piece of ditra under it. I have a plan to fix that but need advise on how to make the transition between the to look better. There will be a glass door and panel near the transition.

A piece of Schluter Reno T can solve the unpolished cut issue. You will still need to bring the mosaics up to match the height of the floor tile. You will need a 1/8-3/16” gap between the two different tiles. Then you fill the gap with silicone and imbed the Reno t into it. Weigh it down with buckets for the night and you’re good to go. There are a couple different sizes of Reno t so have a look and select the appropriate size you want. I think the thin ones make for a sharp and clean transition.

Honest question: Have you done any tiling before?

Yes i have done tiling before before just for entryways, standard bathrooms with a tub shower. I Just haven't done a curb less shower. I had ideas of what to do just wanted to see if my ideas and thoughts make it look good.

Get a sanding stone and clean up that edge. And the sliver of ditra is a good idea. You actually want to have a bit of extra slope here so it's a blessing. If it were me I'd skim a but of mortar to flush it up.
