Hello All,
We are looking to re-do the bathroom and like the idea of a "New
England" look with painted timber cladding from floor to(generally)
perhaps 4' up the wall. Probably a shiplap profile.
Now, I'm happy with the bottom of the vertical strips sitting on a
small fillet twixt the cladding strips and floor boards and I'm
intending to have the top of the strips fit into a rebate under a
horizontal narrow simple 'shelf' to allow for timber movement.( I have
a Google sketchup file to illustrate this if a piccie would help).

However, the idea is to have some of this cladding above the bath and
above the basin. I would like to have a low tile splash back to each
and I just can't think how to neatly handle the join between the
cladding strips and the tiles. I don't fancy the tiles been proud of
the timber by just sticking them on the face of it. Neither do I fancy
just filling up the voids with sealant.
Has anyone any ideas, please?
Usual TIA

Maybe some useful ideas here?

If not, maybe threshold strips? Once you know the thicknesses of the
tiles and the cladding, you should find something that bridges the gap.

I think you might have warping/splitting problems with this arrangment in a
bathroom.
Probably look like crap in a few years unless you can find some sort of
plastic that looks similar.
