Tile trims

Tile trims create a neat finish to your tiles whilst protecting the edges from damage but they also lend a design edge and a complementary finish that you perhaps haven’t considered. Available in a variety of finishes, trims can add a luxurious finishing touch to your tiling project.

WHEN ARE TRIMS REQUIRED?

Tile trims have many uses but primarily help to hide those unsightly cut edges so they’re particularly useful for finishing around window frames or where tiles meet on an external corner. They also cover unglazed edges of tiles so act as a perfect finish when creating a tiled skirting or adding an additional layer or protection from water.

FITTING TRIMS

When using a tile trim on an edge, simply press the trim into the tile adhesive ensuring the adhesive passes through the anchor holes. Then position the tile so it is flush to the rear of the trim and position the second tile into the front of the trim.

For trims that edge around a corner, mark out the angle you require, then, by placing the flat edge on a mitre block use a hacksaw to cut the trim at the right angle and then fit as above.
