Bad half-height tiles. Floor tile as a shelf on the pre-wall.

Hello everyone,

we want to tile our bathroom halfway up 1.20 meters high. The partition wall is 1.20 meters high. The floor tiles will be used as a shelf on the partition wall. The question now is whether we should tile another 10 cm on the wall behind it. Our site manager said that would be better for cleaning, because you then don't have to reach directly to the wall.

The site manager is right.

Is that a complete partition wall? For example, I only have a partition wall in the WC and the washbasin next to it. Above the partition wall, tiling was done so high that the edge at the top ends with the tiles above the washbasin.

Attempt to upload pictures: Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

The partition goes completely through the toilet and sink

Our tiler also tried to argue that with us.

And it’s also ugly nonsense.
For cleaning, the silicone joint is enough... just let the cloth slide along it with your index finger. Done.
If another row of tiles is glued on top, you still have an edge above. Compare: the baseboard.

It is also present on the other walls with tiles.
