This ceramic tile base detail shows a specially shaped cove tile sanitary base molding. If necessary, the tile base is supported by shims to elevate it to align with the elevation of the floor tile. It adheres to the backing with a cementitious bond coat of thinset mortar. The same thinset mortar is backfilled behind the cove to avoid trapping moisture behind the base. A perimeter expansion joint accommodates differential movement between the floor and the wall. This detail, as shown, is intended to illustrate a general concept or method of construction.
